2.3- Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
The disturbed samples were collected by driving a 40mm outer diameter split
spoon sampler in general accordance with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) procedure
described in ASTM D-1586. The number of blows required for a 63.5 kg hammer falling
through 760mm to drive the split spoon sampler for the final 300mm of the total 450mm
penetration is usually referred to as the SPT value. If 50 blows are reached before
penetration of 300mm, no further blows are applied and the actual penetration is
recorded.
The measured SPT values have been corrected for effective overburden pressure,
using the following formula which proposed by Peck, Hanson and Thornburn:
NC = Cn x N
Cn= 0.77 log(2000/qo)
where:
N: the measured SPT value from the field test.
NC: the corrected SPT value.
Cn: the correction factor.
qo: the effective overburden pressure (kN/m2).
If the soil layer is below the water level and consists of silty fine sand, the above
corrected value is further corrected using the below formula suggested by Terzaghi and
Peck, 1967. This formula is used only when N > 15.
N = 15 + 0.5(NC – 15)
The corrected SPT values at different depths are listed in Appendix A. Undisturbed
samples were used for strength and compressibility tests and disturbed or undisturbed
samples as available are used for classification tests.

2.5- Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT)
The standard method for DCPT is furnished by the British Standards BS 1377-9
(1990) Part 9: In-situ tests. This test could not be carried out on all types of soils,
therefore, it is conducted only at soft soil layers.
The test covers the determination of the resistance of soils in situ to the intermittent
penetration of a 60° cone when driven dynamically in a standard manner. Continuous
records provided with respect to depth of the penetration test, but there are no sampling
facilities. Different sizes of apparatus are specified according to the driving effort.
The basis of the test with either size of apparatus consist of dropping with a free
fall, a hammer, a standard distance on to an anvil to effect the semi continuous
penetration, normally from the ground surface of a sizes of parallel sided extension rods
carrying 60° pointed cone at the lower end.
The cone is loosely fitted to the driving rod trough cone adopter. The driving head
is then joined to the other end of the driving rod with a coupling. A guide rod of about 1.5
m length is connected to the top of driving head. This whole set up is kept vertical with
the cone seated at the test location and is then driven into the soil by allowing a 30 kg
hammer to fall freely each time, through 75 cm height. The number of blows for every 10
cm penetration are recorded and summed up for each 30 cm penetration of the cone till
the cone is pushed up to the required depth or refusal whichever is earlier.
Data from a DCPT is processed to produce a penetration index (PI), which is
simply the number of blows required for one feet penetration. The variation of
penetration index with depth is shown in Appendix B.

2.7- Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Resistively
Thermal parameters are usually used in the thermal analysis of underground electrical
transmission lines, oil pipelines, radioactive waste disposal, and solar thermal storage
facilities. In situ thermal conductivity and thermal resistivity have been measured using a
transient heat method according to ASTM-D5334. Single needle-KD2 pro device is used
for this purpose. The rate at which heat flows through a material is a measure of its
thermal conductivity. In this test method the thermal conductivity is determined by
inserting a relatively long needle of small diameter into the material. The needle consists
of both heating and temperature measuring elements. To perform the test a known
amount of current is passed through the heater element and the resulting variation of
temperature is monitored as a function of time.
Thermal conductivity (K) and thermal resistivity (ρ) of the specimen are computed
using the following formulae:
Q
K= ln(t 2 / t1 )
4π (T2 − T1 )
1
ρ =
K
where:
Q: Power consumption of heater wire in Watts per unit length that is assumed to be the
equivalent of heat output per unit length of wire.
T1, T2: initial and final temperatures (oC)
t1, t2: initial and final times (seconds)
K: thermal conductivity (W/m- oC)
ρ: thermal resistivity (m- oC /W)
Locations of the tested samples and test results are shown in Appendix E.

3.2- Method of Testing
All tests were carried out according to the recommendations and procedure of ASTM
and BSI. The types and number of laboratory tests are as follows:
m 2 − m3
w= × 100%
m3 − m1
where:
m1: the mass of container (g).
m2: the mass of container and wet soil (g).
m3: the mass of container and dry soil (g).
Bulk unit weight ( γ b ): is the weight of bulk soil per unit volume:
Wb
γb =
V
5
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
Dry unit weight ( γ d ): is the weight of dry soil per unit volume:
Wd γ
γd = =
V 1+ w
where:
Wb: weight of bulk soil (g).
Wd: weight of dry soil (g).
V: volume of soil simple (cm3)
w: moisture content.
The liquid and plastic limits have been used primarily for soil identification and
classification. The potential volume change problem can often be detected from the liquid
and plastic limit tests.
Liquid limit (LL) is defined as the water content at which a pat of soil placed in a
brass cup, cut with a standard groove, and then dropped from a height of 1cm will
undergo a groove closure of 1/2 in. when dropped 25 times.
Plastic limit (PL) is defined as that water content of the soil at which a thread just
crumbles when it is rolled down to a diameter of 1/8 in. or approximately 3mm. The
plastic limit tends to increase in numerical value for decreasing grin size. For equal grain
size, the plastic limit tends to increase for that soil with the more scalelike particles.
Atterberg limits have been conducted according to the ASTM-D4318.
Unconfined compressive strength: is the load per unit area at which an unconfined
cylindrical specimen of soil will fail in simple compression test. It is taken as the
6
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
maximum load attained per unit area or the load per unit area at 20% axial strain,
whichever is secured first during the performance of a test. The shear strength of a
cohesive soil is one-half of its unconfined strength.
Triaxial compression test (UU): The purpose of this test is to determine the undrained
shear strength of a saturated soil. In this test a cylindrical specimen of soil encased in an
impervious membrane is subjected to confining pressure and then loaded axially to
failure without allowing the pore water pressure to drain. The failure stress is taken as the
stress in the specimen corresponding to the maximum deviator stress (principal stress
difference) attained or the deviator stress at 15% axial strain, whichever is obtained first
during the test.
The unconfined compressive strength and triaxial (UU) test are carried out according
to ASTM-D2166 and ASTM-D2850 respectively.
3.9- Permeability
Two standard laboratory tests are used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of soil;
the constant head test and the falling head test.
7
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
The constant head test (ASTM-D2434) is used to determine the hydraulic
conductivity of coarse grained soils. Water is allowed to flow through a cylindrical
sample of soil under constant head (h). The outflow (Q) is collected in a measuring
cylinder at a convenient duration (t). The hydraulic conductivity in the vertical direction
is given by:
K z = QL /(t Ah)
where L and A are respectively, the length and cross-sectional area of the soil sample.
The falling head test is used for fine grained soils because the flow of water through
these soils is too slow to get reasonable measurements from the constant head test. Water
is allowed to flow through a sample from a stand pipe attached to the top of the cylinder.
The head of water (h) changes with times as flow occurs through the soil. At different
times, the head of water is recorded. The value of hydraulic conductivity is calculated as
follows:

4- Subsurface Conditions
4.1- Subsoil Material Description
The subsoil strata encountered at the investigated location are detailed on the borehole
logs. The soil is inhomogeneous in which three different soil profiles were recognized:
1- Borehole BH1219: The soil strata were found to be consisted of two layers. The
top soil layer, which extends from the natural ground surface to a depth of 3.5m,
consists of dense, brown, silty sand. Followed by hard, brown to dark brown,
clayey silt with sand or a little of sand, low plasticity. This layer extends to the
end of boring (15m).
2- Boreholes BH1229 and BH1230: In these boreholes, the soil consists of soft to
medium, gray to brown, clayey silt with a little or trace of sand, low plasticity.
This layer is encountered from the natural ground surface to the end of boring
(15m).
3- All boreholes except above: The majority of site soil consists of medium to very
dense, brown to dark brown, silty sand and sometimes with gravel OR medium
to very dense, brown to dark brown, poorly graded sand with silt and sometimes
with gravel. This layer extends from the natural ground surface to the end of
boring. Within this layer, a lense of very soft to very stiff, gray to brown, clayey
silt with low plasticity is encountered at BH1116 within (0-6m). Another lense
of dense, brown, poorly graded gravel with silt and sand were encountered at
borehole BH1221 within (0-3m) and BH1225 within (8-11m).

basement terranes. The outcrop of these terranes is well defined in Arabian shield of
Western Saudi Arabia. The subsequent development of the Phanerozoic basins of the
Arabian plate was highly affected by the basement terranes so that the tectonic fabric and
evolution of Iraq can be understood because of the extension of these terranes beneath the
sedimentary column of Iraq. The youngest sediments Quaternary and Neoene-aged lie
within the central depression (Fig. 1) while the flanks expose older strata of Palaeogene
to Palaeozoic age. The central depression is defined as a low-topographic cultivated area
and extends from Syria to the Arabian Gulf. Almost all the young sedimentary cover in
Iraq has filled the northwest-southeast oriented trough (central depression) which is
flanked by a gently-inclined plateau to the west and south-west and a series of ridges and
depressions passing into mountainous area in the northeast. In general, the Quaternary
deposits in Iraq can be divided into two zones, the Rutba-Jazira and Salman zone and the
Mesopotamian zone. The site of interest is classified in Mesopotamian zone. The
Mesopotamian plain extends from northwest of Baiji as a narrow area and gradually
becomes much broader toward the Arabian Gulf southeast-ward. The total area covered
by this sedimentary zone is 110,000 km2 (Saad et al., 2006).

5.3- Seismic Hazard
The seismological records of Iraq show that the annual seismic activity of different
strength. Highest level of seismic activity of Iraq is concentrated in the north and
northeastern parts of Iraq; these seismic activities are strongly diminution in the south
and southwestern parts of Iraq (Fig. 3).
Figure 3: Seismotectonic setting of Iraq and the geographical distribution of seismic
activities along the eastern border of Iraq. (Earthquakes records are from Advanced
National Seismic System (ANSS) Catalog).
The tectonic and seismic activities are because of the location of Iraq northeastern
boundaries of the Arabian plate. As it is clear from (Fig. 3), the geographical distribution
of seismicity is inhomogeneous and the activity is focused in the high folded and the
Balambo-Tanjero zones. The majority of focal depth is shallow. Alsinawi (2003)
constructed a historical isointensity map of Iraq (Fig.4-a) and a general isointensity map
(Fig.4-b). The potential seismic hazard and risk is always associated with the surface

14

subject to such scenario because it is required an earthquake greater than 6.5 magnitude.
Therefore, the seismic hazard and risk is small in terms of the historical and current
seismic record of southern part of Iraq.

Bolton (1958) divided the structural framework of Iraq into three prominent zones,
thrust zone, folded zone, and unfolded zone. The southern part of Iraq where located the
proposed site is situated in the unfolded zone so that it is unequivocal that the proposed
site resides in a relatively stable zone seismically and tectonically.

water to the ground surface, where it emerges in the form of mud spouts or sand boils.
The development of high pore water pressures due to the ground shaking and the upward
flow of water my turn the sand into a liquefied condition, which has been termed
liquefaction. For this state of liquefaction, the effective stress is zero and the individual
soil particles are released from any confinement, as if the soil particles were floating in
water.
When liquefaction occurs, the soil can become a liquid and thus the shear strength of
the soil can be decreased to essentially zero. Without any shear strength, the liquefied soil
will be unable to support the foundations for buildings.
The potential for liquefaction increases as the earthquake intensity and duration of
shaking increases. According to the '' National Research Council , Ishihara 1985" , a
liquefaction analysis would typically not be needed for those sites having a peak ground
acceleration amax less than 0.1 g or a local magnitude ML less than 5.
The most common type of analysis to determine the liquefaction potential is to use the
standard penetration test (SPT). The analysis is based on the simplified method proposed
by Seed and Idriss (1971). This method has been implemented as “Guidelines for
Analyzing and mitigating Liquefaction in California” SP 117.
Based on the above guideline procedures, liquefaction is unlikely to take place for this
site.

6.1- Lowering of Groundwater Level
The field tests indicate that the groundwater level is ranged between 0.7m – 3.8m
below the natural ground level. Therefore the excavation works of the upper unsuitable
soil and the construction of shallow foundation does not require the ground water table to
be lowering. However, construction of foundations at depths below the groundwater level
requires the use of dewatering system. Based on the depth of footing and local site
conditions, either open trenches or well points system should be used.

Prior to filling, the top 0.2 - 0.3 m of subgrade layer on which fill soils will be placed
should be scarified, moisture conditioned and properly compacted in accordance with the
recommendations below to provide a uniform base for fill placement. For regions of
compressible soils, the field density cannot be reaching the required degree of
compaction. Such soils should be removed to a depth of about 0.3-0.5m and replaced
with a mixture of cobbles and coarse aggregate (particle size ranged between 50 – 150
mm) and compacted before placement of fill materials.

6.5- Roads
Soils beneath any proposed traffic-bearing pavement, including minimum lateral
distance of at least 0.6 m beyond pavement edges, should be excavated a minimum of 0.6
m below the existing grade. The bottom of excavation should then be scarified 0.15 m, be
moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content and be uniformly compacted to at
least 95% of maximum dry density using mechanical compaction equipment.
Compaction should be verified by testing.
3. Maximum dry density shall be obtained according to modified Proctor test (ASTM-
D1557)
4. In place density test shall be determined by method accordance with ASTM-D 1556
or ASTM-D 2922.
6. Sheeps foot roller is recommend for fine grained subgrade layer and rubber-tired
rollers or vibrating compacters are recommended for coarse grained subgrade and
fill layers.

6.9- Shoring
Should site constraints prohibit the use of the recommended slope angles, temporary
shoring should be used. The shoring should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressure
exerted by structure, hydrostatic pressure, traffic, equipment, and stock piles.
6.10- Drainage
Good surface drainage should be provided around temporary excavation slopes to
direct surface runoff from the slope faces. A properly designed swale should be provided
at the top of the excavations. In no case should water be allowed to pond at the site.

3- Base Layer
This layer supports the surface layer and carries and distributes the traffic loads to
bottom layers. Also, it protects the surface road from swelling or depression of natural
soil and leaks of ground water. Therefore, this layer must have good properties of
durability and resistance. The CBR should not be less than 40%.
4- Surface Layer:
In designing pavement thickness, the following factors should be considered:

At point B, the soil becomes so stiff that it can no longer flow as a liquid. The
boundary water content at point B is called the liquid limit LL. As the soil continues to
22
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
dry, there is a range of water content at which the soil can be molded into any desired
shape without rupture. The soil at this state is said to exhibit plastic behavior – the ability
to deform continuously without rupture. But if drying is continued beyond the range of
water content for plastic behavior, the soil becomes a semisolid. The soil cannot be
molded now without visible cracks appearing. The water content at which the soil
changes from a plastic to a semisolid is known as the plastic limit PL. The range of water
contents over which the soil deforms plastically is known as the plasticity index, PI;
PI = LL - PL
As the soil continues to dry, it comes to a final state called the solid state, at this state,
no further volume change occurs since nearly all the water in the soil has been removed.
The water content at which the soil changes from a semisolid to a solid is called the
shrinkage limit SL. The shrinkage limit is useful for the determination of the swelling and
shrinking capacity of soils. The liquid and plastic limits are called the Atterberg limits
named after their originator, Swedish soil scientist, Atterberg (1911).
Since engineers are interested in the strength and deformation of materials, we can
associate specific strength characteristic to each of the soil states. At one extreme, the
liquid state, the soil has the lowest strength and the largest deformation. At the other
extreme, the solid state, the soil has the largest strength and the lowest deformation. A
measure of soil strength using the Atterberg limits is known as the liquidity index (LI)
and is expressed as:
w − PL
LI =
PI
The liquidity index is the ratio of the difference in water content between the natural
or insitu water content of a soil and its plastic limit to its plasticity index. Table (4) shows
a description of soil strength based on values of LI.
0 < LI < 1 Plastic state – intermediate strength, soil deforms like a plastic material
LI > 1 Liquid state – low strength , soil deforms like a viscous fluid
23
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
The values of liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index at different depths, of the
proposed site are shown in Appendix C. The results indicate to a plastic state of the
cohesive soil with low plasticity (LL <50). The LI values are close to unity which implies
low to intermediate strength.
If the shear strength of the soil has not been determined the consistency of the clay can
be estimated in the field or laboratory based on the following:
Very soft: The clay is easily penetrated several centimeters by the thumb. The clay oozes
out between the fingers when squeezed in the hand.
Soft: The clay is easily penetrated about 1 in. (2 to 3 cm) by the thumb with clay cane be
molded by slight finger pressure.
Medium: The clay can be penetrated about 0.4 in ( 1cm) by the thumb with moderate
effort. The clay can be molded by strong finger pressure.
Stiff: The clay can be indented about 0.2 in. (0.5 cm) by the thumb with great effort.
24
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
Very stiff: The clay cannot be indented by the thumb, but can only be indented with the
thumbnail.
Back to the results of unconfined compression test, triaxial compression test as well as
number of blows (SPT-values), the consistency of cohesive soil at boreholes BH1229 and
BH1230 is very soft to medium. However, at boreholes BH1116 and BH1119 it reaches
to very stiff to hard at some depths.
b- Cohesionless Soils
Shear strength of cohesionless soils is usually described in terms of relative density.
The relative density is an index that quantifies the degree of packing between the loosest
and densest state of coarse grained soils. The density state of cohesionless soil can be
described as very loose, loose, medium, dense, and very dense. Some standards (like BS
5930) give the following relationship between N-value and the relative density of
cohesionless soils.
N-value
Relative density
(blows/300mm of penetration)
4-10 Loose
10-30 Medium-dense
30-50 Dense
Referring to the results of Direct Shear Test and SPT values, the relative density of the
cohesionless soil layers is ranged between medium to very dense.
The plot of void ratio e versus vertical stress log P is often referred to as the
"consolidation curve”. Cc represents the slope of the compression part while Cr
represents the slope of the expansion or reloading part. The history of loading of a soil is
locked in its fabric. For example, an estimate of the past maximum vertical effective
25
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
stress, called the precansolidation pressure Pc that the soil has experienced. If the current
vertical effective stress is less than the preconsolidation vertical effective stress, the soil
is overconsolidated, otherwise it is normally consolidated.
Pc
OCR =
Po
Based on the results of consolidation test given in Appendix C, the data indicate that
the cohesive soil layer in general is lightly overconsolidated.
The saturated soil condition below the water table makes the problem of settlement
significant as consolidation is a process of gradually decrease of the water content from
saturated soil under the applied loading. Therefore, the settlement computations need to
be considered in design.
It may be noted that as per CIRIA special publication 31, there is no widely accepted
view on the concentration at which chlorides become significant in soil or ground water,
but limited experience in the Gulf Region suggests it may be as low as 0.05% particularly
in situations where wetting and drying or capillary rise effect the concrete.
Sulphate attack to concrete is caused by the presence of a high sulphate content either
by the ingress from the sulphate of the surrounding environment such as foundations soils
or groundwater, or by the presence of sulphate in the concrete ingredients. The attack
results in a considerable internal expansion which may lead to crack and disintegration of
the concrete. This effect can be reduced by use of selected cements or by suitable
protection of the concrete.
The results of chemical analysis are given in Appendix C. Based on the requirements
of the International Building Code/2006 for concrete exposed to chlorides and sulphates,
26
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
we recommend to use sulphate resisting Portland Cement (Type V) with maximum water
/
cement ratio of 0.45 and minimum concrete strength f c =31 N/mm2. Also adequate
coating of inert materials such as asphalt should protect all concrete works that are in
contact with subsoil.
7.5- Gypsum
The chemical tests of soil indicate to slightly-to-moderately gypsum content. The
gypsum particles are dense to the overburden and the applied loads. But after the site is
developed, there can be infiltration of water into the ground from rainfall, irrigation,
leaky water pipes or groundwater fluctuation. As this water penetrates the gypsum soils,
two types of settlement can occur:
1. The collapse of the soil structure due to weakening of salt cemented bonds at particle
contacts.
2. The water can dissolve away the gypsum resulting in ground surface settlement.
Ground surface settlement due to the dissolution of gypsum particles can be calculated
from the following equation:
Gs
S = SL Ho
Gg
where:
S: settlement of the soil layer due to loss of soluble soil particles (m).
SL: gypsum content expressed in decimal form.
Ho: initial thickness of the soil layer (m)
Gs: specific gravity of the insoluble soil minerals
Gg: specific gravity of gypsum (Gg=2.35)
In the case of construction on soft soils, three options are available to ensure that there
will not be significant problems during the design life of the structure. These are:
27
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
1. Replacement of the soft soil.
2. Using pile foundation.
3. Stabilization or improvement of soft soil.
For more cases, it has been found that soil replacement and use of pile foundations are
both expensive and time consuming. In vast areas in the world, soil stabilization is found
to be the most economical solution.
Several techniques are presently in use for improving the load-bearing capacity and
settlement of shallow foundations constructed on soft clay soils. One of these techniques
is the use of stone columns. The use and analyses of the stone columns are treated in
published studies by several authors such as Hughes and Withers (1974), Hughes,
Writhers and Green Wood (1975), and others.
Similar to stone columns construction, granular trenches (which are plane strain
variations of stone columns) in soft clayey soils can also be used to support shallow
foundations.
For the last few decades improvement of soft soils has been achieved by reinforcing
them by densificated granular pile (such as stone columns). This reinforcement is found
to benefit the foundation in many respects, which are:
iii- improvement of the settlement response of the foundation so that the final
settlement meets the criteria of admissible settlement.
The allowable bearing capacity for shallow foundations could be evaluated from one
of the following methods:

where:
For strip footing, all of the shape factors equal 1.0. For rectangular footing of width B
and length L, commonly used shape factors are:
For cohesive soil, one should use the undrained shear strength in the ''Total Stress
Analysis’’. For such condition, the following parameters should be used:

Various equations have been proposed for N γ in the literature. The one proposed by
Davis and Booker (1973) is based on a refined plasticity method and gives conservative
values compared with the others.
The allowable bearing capacity ( qall ) , which is used to determine the size of
footing is given by the following equation .
qult
q all =
F
where:
qall : allowable bearing capacity (kPa).
F : factor of safety ( commonly F = 3).

unconfined compressive strength ( qu ) with factor of safely F=3:
qall = qu

5- Extrapotation of allowable bearing capacity for a full-size footing from the results
of plate loading test. For clay soils it is common to note that BNγ term is zero , so that
one might say that qult is independent of footing size, giving :
The use of this equation is not recommended unless BFoundation / Bplate is not much more
than 3.
Based on the above equations, the allowable bearing capacity has been calculated
and the most critical values (minimum) among them were adopted. The recommended
allowable bearing capacity for shallow foundation is as listed below. The following
assumptions were adopted in calculations:

(b) Elastic Settlement
It is difficult to obtain undisturbed samples of coarse grained soils for testing in the
laboratory. Consequently, the settlement of footings on coarse-grained soils is obtained
based on empirical methods using test data from field tests. Meyerhof (1965) suggested
that the settlement under a shallow foundation can be estimated from SPT value using:
2q all
S e ( mm) = ; B ≤ 1.2m ; q all ( kPa)
N
3.2q all 1
S e (mm) = (1 + ) −2 ; B > 1.2m ; q all (kPa)
N 3.28 B
The elastic settlement could also be estimated from the results of plate loading test.
4q B2
Se =
k v ( B + 0.3) 2
2q B2
Se =
k v ( B + 0.3) 2
where:
Se : elastic settlement of the footing (m).
q : vertical footing pressure (kPa)
B : footing width (m).
Kv : Subgrade modulus from the plate load test (kN/m3).
D : depth of the footing below the ground surface (m).
It is necessary to interpolate between the above two equations for footing width between
6m and 12m.

8.4- Allowable Settlement
where qall is the allowable bearing capacity of the soil and F is the factor of safety.
Based on the Rankine earth pressure theory, the horizontal earth pressure (active and
passive) is defined by the following formulae:
σ A = γz K A − 2c K A
σ p = γz K p + 2c K p
where:
σA: active soil pressure (kN/m2)
σP: passive soil pressure (kN/m2)
KA, KP :coefficients of lateral soil pressure of active and passive states, respectively.

γ : effective unit weight of the soil (kN/m3).
Z : depth of the soil (m).
c : cohesion (kN/m2).
Ǿ : angle of internal friction (effective).
36

Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
For the case of at rest condition, Ko should be used instead of KA or Kp. The
lateral earth pressure coefficient (Ko) is defined as the ratio between the lateral and
vertical principal effective stresses when an earth retaining structure is at rest.
and for normally consolidated soil (OCR =1) the above equation reduced to:
K o = (1 − sin φ / )
The typical values of (Ko) for different types of soils is as listed below (R.F. Grieg,
2002).

For piles driven into cohesionless soils, the point bearing capacity can be expressed
as:
__
Qb = A p ( q Nq / ) ≤ A p (11000) kN
where:
Ap: Pile cross sectional area (m2).
q : Effective overburden pressure at pile point (kN/m2).
Nq' : Berezantev's bearing capacity factor.

For piles driven into cohesive soils, the point bearing capacity can be expressed as .
Qb=Ap(C Nc')
where:
C : cohesion (or undrained shear strength).
Nc' : deep foundation bearing capacity factor for cohesion.
Nc' = 9.0 for C > 25 kPa
Nc' = 6.0 for C ≤ 25 kPa
Lb
Qb = Ap (40 N) ≤ Ap (380 N) kN
B
where:
N : average value taken in a zone of about 8B above to 3B below the pile point.
B : width or diameter of pile point.
Lb: pile penetration depth into point bearing stratum.
where:
As: Effective pile surface area (m2)
α : Adhesion factor.
c : Average cohesion (kN/m2)
P: Average effective overburden pressure (kN/m2)
ks: Coefficient of lateral earth pressure.
δ : Effective friction angle between soil and pile material.
Skin friction could also be estimated based an SPT data for piles in sand. Meyerhof
(1976) suggested obtaining fs as ;
fs = 2N ≤ 100 kPa
38
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
fs = 1N ≤ 50 kPa
where:
N= average blow count in the material indicated for the pile or pile segment length.
(Qult) uplift = C × Q s
where:
C = 0.5 – 0.7 for sand and silt
C = 0.7 – 1.0 for clay
Based on the above analysis, the allowable carrying capacity, with factor of safety
F=3, of the precast concrete pile, driven and cast in place piles, and bored piles extending
to the bearing layer are calculated and the results are listed below. Lower limits
correspond to the weakest soil profile (BH1117) and upper limits correspond to the
strongest soil profile (BH1111). Boreholes BH1229 and BH1230 were not considered in
the analysis because the depth of boring doesn’t reach the bearing layer. We recommend
a performance of pile loading test at the location of these boreholes. The expected pile
length at this region is (18-24m).

Where:
Qa : allowable carrying capacity of pile (kN).
Qb : point bearing capacity of pile (kN).

The term Qnf is calculated in a similar way as skin friction Qs (section 8.7).
Negative skin friction for piles installed in the region of BH1229 and BH1230 should be
considered in estimating the allowable carrying capacity.

8.9- Group Effect
A 15% - 20% reduction should be applied to the allowable carrying capacity of piles
given in section (8.7) due to pile group effect.
The key to the solution lies in the determination of the value of the modulus of
subgrade reaction Es (soil modulus) with respect to depth along the pile. In general, the
variation of Es with depth may be expressed as:
Es = Kh Xn
In which Kh is termed the coefficient of soil modulus variation. The value of the power n
depends upon the type of soil. The most useful form of variation of Es is the linear
relationship expressed as:
Es = Kh X

Using the above equations, the lateral pile capacity, for 12mm lateral movement
at the top of the pile, has been calculated and the results were listed in the table-section
8.7.
1. The maximum permissible settlement in the region of the anticipated working load.
2. The ultimate carrying capacity as a check on the value calculated from theatrical
methods.

8.12- Elastic Properties of Soil
The elastic properties of soil are described by three characteristics , modulus of elasticity
E , shear modulus G, and poisons ratio υ , but only two needs to be known, since the
third one can be determined from the relation :
E
G=
2(1 + υ )
The recommended values of elastic properties of soil are given in section 8.14.
44

3. Wetting or drying of excavation should be avoided during construction.
Permitting increases / variations in moisture to the adjacent or supporting soils
may result in a decrease in bearing capacity and an increase in volume change
of the underlying soils and / or differential movement.
4. Seepage of surface water should be prevented to reach the foundation and the
adjacent zone using impervious paving material such as asphalt or concrete
with mastic joints with a minimum 3 percent slope in the first 3m.
5. In no case should water be permitted to pond adjacent to or on sidewalks,
landscaping or other improvements as well as utility trench alignments, which
are likely to be adversely affected by moisture-volume changes in the
underlying soils or flow of infiltrating water.
6. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the perimeters of
the structure foundations, or be provided with positive conveyance off-site for
collected waters.
7. Vegetation that may require watering should ideally be located 3m or more
from building perimeters, flatwork, or other site improvements. As minimum,
vegetation requiring irrigation should not be located within 3m of structure
perimeters. Irrigation sprinkler heads should be deployed so that applied water
is not introduced near or into foundation/subgrade soils. Landscape irrigation
outside that 3m limit should be limited to the minimum quantities necessary to
sustain healthy plant growth.

6- Consolidation settlement has been calculated for both isolated and strip footings
for different footing widths. It is found that consolidation settlement exceeds the
permissible limits (25mm) for footing widths greater than 1.6m and 1.0m for
47
Eni-Iraq
Soil Investigation Report for Zubair Field/Hammar DGS
isolated footing and strip footing, respectively. Accordingly, we recommend using
pile foundation when the required width of footing exceeds the above values.
8- Because of the presence of soft surface layer, a layer of engineering fill (subbase)
of 0.3-0.5m suggested to be laid underneath the base of shallow foundations. This
layer will decrease the problems of compressibility and minimize settlement.
6- When precast concrete pile is used, it should be provided with shoe to reduce the
effect of driving stresses.
2- It is recommended to connect the isolated footings with tie beams to reduce the
effect of differential settlement.
3- Shallow foundations are not recommended for structures exposed to liquid like
cooling towers, ground storage tanks, etc, even when the bearing capacity and
settlement requirements are satisfied, instead piles should be used.
