Stability contro

- Safety factor
As per standard QCVN 04 – 05: 2012/BNNPTNT, with reference to Table 1, as this is a backfilled platform on saturated
clay foundation with a height lower than 5m, the works are classified as Class III.
With reference to Table 9, the following safety factors shall apply:
- Temporary construction phase: 1.188
- Long-term operation phase: 1.250
- Special case: 1.125
So as to be conservative, a 4% margin is applied. The following factors shall be considered:
FS ≥ 1.3 with operation case
FS ≥ 1.235 with temporary case
FS ≥ 1.17 with Special case: (weephole is damaged or earthquake )
Geomechanical parameters
Based on the results of all boreholes and investigation points performed along the dyke. The following soil units are
encountered (from top to bottom).
₊ Layer 0: Residual fill.
- This layer is not encountered in all boreholes. Given its thinness and surficial location, this layer was not characterized
by all mechanical tests.
₊ Layer 1: very soft high plasticity silts, slightly organic to organic (MH/OH).
- This layer is present in all boreholes. This layer is 8 m to 13 m thick (average thickness: 11 m).
₊ Layer 2.1: loose silty sands (SM/SC).
- This layer is not encountered in all boreholes. Where present, it is located below layer 1 and it is 1 m to 3 m thick.
₊ Lens TK2: stiff very sandy silt (CH-CL).
- This layer is not encountered in all boreholes. Where present, it is located below layer 2.1 and above layer 2.2, as an
intermediary unit (lenses). This layer is 0.5 m to 4 m thick (average thickness: 2 m).
₊ Layer 2.2: medium dense to dense silty sands (SM).
- This layer is not encountered in all boreholes. Where present, it can be located directly below layer 1, or layer 2.1, or
layer 3. This layer is 0.5 m to 8 m thick, with an average thickness around 5 m.
₊ Layer 3: stiff to hard low plasticity sandy clay (CH-CL).
- This layer is present in almost all boreholes below layer 2.2. It is at least 8 m thick.
₊ Lens TK3: medium dense silty sand (SM/SC).
- Several lenses of silty sand are encountered in various boreholes, within Layer 3. They are similar to soils of layer 4.
Where present, this layer is around 1 to 2 m thick.
₊ Layer 4: medium dense to very dense silty / clayey sand (SM/SC).
- This layer has not been encountered on the depth of the boreholes in the flood protection area.

Dyke Concrete sheet pile parameters:

- With reference to the technical specification reference document [17], the following parameters apply to the
deformation and stability for dyke concrete sheet piles and anchor:
 Parameter Unit W600A W350A W400B Anchor 27
EA KN/m 8821800 5366400 6052800 120237

Crack bending moment KNm 509.7 163.1 234.5

Structural calculations of the concrete sheetpiles are provided in Appendix 5.2 of the calculation note. Concrete sheetpiles
are prefabricated elements, hence calculations are provided by the manufacturer(s).
With reference to Standard TCVN 5574-2012 about concrete and reinforced concrete structures design, the relative
permitted horizontal displacement for reinforced concrete beam structures subject to permanent load, long-term
temporary load, short-term load shall not exceed 1/150 of spans and 1/75 of the span length of the consol. In terms of
safety as well as aesthetic requirements for dykes, the relative horizontal displacement that is proposed is h / L ≤ 1/150,
where h is the largest horizontal displacement between the top / the tip of the pile and L is the length of the reinforced
concrete slab.
Calculation model
Apply the Soft soil model for soil layer 1 with indices taken from [13] AVJ-A010-GE-RPT-0001

- The above elevations follow the hydrology system. 23cm shall be added to convert to the Hon Dau Elevation
system.
- The height of the water level is calculated for the lowest minimum water level case:
- Construction case is calculated with frequency P= 10%: scenario 1.1 =-2.10+0.23=-1.87m ASL based on the Hon
Dau elevation system.
- Operation case is calculated with frequency P = 97%
₊ The current water level based on scenario 1.1: -2.51+0.23=-2.28m ASL based on the Hon Dau
elevation system.
₊ The water level after 50 years based on scenario 1.2: -2.10+0.23=-1.87m ASL based on the Hon Dau
elevation system.
₊ Check deformation after 50 years

The oblique drive will reduce the coefficient of stability, reduce the bearing capacity of the roofing sheet. Currently, the
3% oblique level at section 4 is within an acceptable safety margin. Note, should be roll up the geotextile, and cover the
gap to prevent sand from drifting from the embankment to the river.
