Size: 31.8 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Year: October - 2011 | pages: 352
This report presents the results of the soil investigation carried out from 06th of June to 23 rd of July 2011, for M/s DAR SSH International Engineering Consultants in connection with theConsultancy Services for the construction of New Houses in South Ahmadi, Kuwait.
The soil investigation was carried out in accordance to the request of the client to drill forty-four(44) boreholes, consist of forty-two (42) boreholes to a depth of about 10.0m and two (2)boreholes to a depth of 20.0m below the existing ground level (EGL). The locations of thedrilled borehole are shown on the provided Borehole Location Plan (Drawing No. KOC-ST-150) in Appendix C attached to this report.
The purpose of the study is to determine the surface and subsurface conditions at the proposedsite and physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the foundation ground in order toprovide the structural engineer with sufficient information for the design of the most suitableand safe foundation system. This report presents the works completed together with the resultsand recommendations on subsoil parameters, bearing capacities and other related geotechnical information to aid in the design of the foundations for the proposed construction.
All works for the soil investigation were carried out in accordance with applicable ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials) Standards, BSi (British Standards Institute) andother acceptable geotechnical standards/guidelines. Brief descriptions of the methodology of the field and laboratory tests are likewise provided in this report.
