Requirements of Engineering Geological Investigation

1. Geotechnical investigation object:

This is a detail geological investigation used for construction drawing
design. The purpose of the survey is to provide technical data of rock/soil for
buildings and structures construction, to make engineering evaluation for
building foundations, to give demonstration and recommendation for
foundation design and treatment, so as to avoid bad geological tendencies
during project construction.
2. Survey requirements:
For borehole location of the intended plant site see the plan of borehole
position. The position and quantity set in this plan is only for reference,
the final decision shall be made according to the actual design of
geological survey company. The existing borehole should be fully used
when making detail exploration design by survey team.
.! "xploration work should be made in accordance with the current
international standard.
. To make clear the type, structure, thickness, slop degree and engineering
property of each layer rock/soil. To evaluate the foundation stability# to
provide foundation bearing capacity and calculation data of foundation
deformation# to estimate deformation character# to propose suggestions
of foundation design and treatment of each buildings and structures.
.$ %scertain if there has karst, earth slide and fault under the ground of
construction site. To propose the assessment and regulation about
rock/soil as well as technical data of the needed rock/soil work.
.& %scertain the type, trapped water condition, water level and variation
regular, as well as layer penetrability of underground water. To determine
the eroding impact of soil and water on building materials and metals as
well as to give the protection suggestions and calculation data.
.' To provide stability calculation for deep foundation pit and technical data
of rock/soil need for support design. To proof and estimate the influence
of excavation and draining on surrounding project.
.( )rovide design parameter of shallow foundation, i.e. supply ground
bearing capacity and modulus of compressibility of each layer *rock+.
., )rovide the histogram and sectional drawing indicating the -eological
age of layer and origin
.. To estimate earthquake intensity and earthquake acceleration for plant
site design. To determine soil type, shear wave velocity and building type
of plant site. To estimate rock/soil stability and cycle time of earthquake.
To determine liquidation possibility of earthquake, if liquefy is possible,
give further determination on liquidation degree and propose handling
method.
./ The depth of boreholes0
The depth of boreholes shall be decided by the 1nvestigation Team. The
Page 1
suggested depth of boreholes shall be followings0
-eneral boreholes, the depth should be more than 2m.
3ontrol borehole, the depth should be more than $'m.
4hen the site field is complicated, the depth of boreholes can be added.
1n the process of drilling before to the demanding depth, if bedrock was
encountered, the hole should be drilled through weathered layer, solution
cavity, carst well developed layer and into the moderate or slight
weathered layer. For general boreholes, the depth of drilled into the
moderate or slight weathered layer should be no less than meters# for
control holes, the depth should be no less than 'm.
.!2 The coordinate in general layout for all boreholes need to be
provided.
