1.0 Introduction

University of Malaya plans to construct a lookout tower of within 10m to15m height,

located near the varsity lake in front of the Faculty of Engineering. The working area provided by

the university management for this project is 5m x 5m. The tower is constructed by using concrete.

A site investigation for proposed works has to be carried out for the proposed work. Figure 1 refers

the general idea of the lookout tower. In order to design the best foundation that should be used,

several physical properties about the soil such as its cohesion value, settlement and the angle of

cohesion are determined. All these parameters are used for the determination of the foundation

size. Thus, some site investigation and laboratory experiments are conducted using the sample of

the soil from the proposed area in order to get the important parameters.

2.0 Site Description

The proposed site is located at Varsity Green of University of Malaya, which is in front of

the Faculty of Engineering. The field test had been conducted at the proposed site during the site

investigation.

Figure 2: The map of University of Malaya.

3.0 Objectives

The objectives of the project are:

i. To carry out site visit

ii. To suggest possible site investigation methods that might be adopted to gain necessary soil

parameters to enable design of foundation for lookout tower to be carried out.

iii. To obtain soil samples for visual examination and laboratory testing.

iv. To study the soil properties of the proposed site.

Page 7: SI

4.0 Site Investigation

Soil Investigation is important to obtain information includes soil properties before the

design and construction of foundations. It helps the engineers to select the type and depth of

foundations suitable for a given structure, to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of the foundations,

to estimate the settlements of the foundations and to estimate the potential foundation problems or

changing of soil conditions.

Firstly site reconnaissance which involves a visit to the site for inspection was carried at

Varsity Green to decide equipment needed to access the site and to decide basic foundation design.

Since the area of construction is restrained at an area of 5m×5m, considerably a small area. Besides

that, the accessibility of the site is very good and the site geology does not vary too much as it can

be considered as a flat terrain. Therefore in-situ testing that uses machinery is not required to carry

out at the site. Additionally, the site is clear of any existing structures. Hence the construction area

will not invade other construction side. Other than that, it is observed that no surface water

appeared at the site. It can be assumed that the soil will be in good condition. Thus, a pad footing

is assumed to be enough to support the look out tower.

Based on the observation from site reconnaissance as discussed above, the sampling and

in situ test are carried out manually. This is due to the location of the construction is well defined

with a more simple geological condition. Furthermore, the construction area is comparatively

small. In order to obtain the soil sampler, sampling methods such as hand auger and soil sampler

are used. Hand auger is used to obtain the disturbed soil sample whereas soil sampler is used to

obtain the undisturbed soil sample. For field test, mackintosh probe is carried to estimate the

strength for soil and laboratory test such as triaxial test is carried out to determine soil strength and

angle of cohension. The sampling methods and soil testing are discussed in the following chapters.

5.0 Sampling

Sampling methods such as hand auger and soil sampler are used. Hand auger is used to

obtain the disturbed soil sample whereas soil sampler is used to obtain the undisturbed soil sample.

5.1 Hand Auger

Figure 3: Different type of hand auger.

5.1.1 Introduction

Hand Auger is used for obtaining disturbed soil samples near the surface and to remove

the top soil before soil sampler is used to extract the soil below top soil. Hand auger is chosen as

the sampling method because it is easy to handle as it is portable and cost effectively. Besides that,

the depth that of soil that required is at the first and second layer. Hand auger is suitable for shallow

depth exploration. The equipment is used in cohesive soil free of gravel or granular material, above

the water table. The disturbed soil samples were obtained at three locations within an area of 5m2.

The top soil and subsequently layer were extracted and its soil profile was observed. Hand auger

was used to dig until the depth of 50cm.

i. To obtain disturbed soil samples

ii. To remove top soil

5.1.3 Observation

Photo 3: Subsequent soil layer after the top soil.

Photo 4: Top layer and subsequent soil layer.

From the photos above, it can be observed that the top soil is darker in color as it contains

organic matter. Therefore it is necessary to remove top soil before construction and the foundation

must be built at the depth below top soil. It was found that the top soil is about 30cm.

5.2 Soil Sampler

Figure 4: Soil sampler equipment.

5.2.1 Introduction

Soil sampler is used to obtain the undisturbed samples below top soil. It consists of thin

walled tubes which are pushed or driven into the soil at the bottom of the hole and then rotated

detach the lower end of the sample from the soil. Most soft and moderate stiff cohesive soil can be

sampled without extensive disturbance in thin wall seamless steel tubes. Soil sampler is chosen as

the sampling method because the depth of designed foundation is shallow, estimated to be 2m.

Additionally, the soil at site is observed to be stiff cohesive soil. Hence, sampling using manpower

is more effective and save cost. Besides that, the soil profile could be observed using soil sampler.

Three samples were obtained to carry out triaxial test.

Photo 9: Soil sample contains sand and crashed

rocks

From Photo 6: First and second soil samplers.Photo 6 and Photo 7, the soil profile is

homogenous as the color of the 4 samples do not vary much. Thus, the laboratory result later is

said to be representative for the site as these soil samples would be used for the triaxial test. From

Photo 8, the soil is observed to be cohesive however for Photo 9 the soil contains sand and crashed

rocks as the depth where the sample was extracted deeper than in Photo 8. The soil sample obtained

in Photo 8 is at depth less than 1.8m. Hence, it is suggested to locate the foundation at 1.8m to ease

the excavation work.

6.0 Field Test

For field test, mackintosh probe is carried to estimate the strength for soil due to the small

area of construction. Besides that, probing using manpower is enough for this in-situ testing as

using machinery is expensive.

6.1 Mackintosh Probe

6.1.1 Introduction

Probing is used to provide a profile of penetration resistance with

depth, in order to give an assessment of the variability of in-situ materials

on site. Probing is carried out rapidly, with simple equipment. It produces

simple results, in terms of blows per unit depth of penetration, which are

generally plotted as blow-count/depth graphs. In this experiment,

Mackintosh Probe is used due to its lightweight and portable

penetrometer which considerably faster and cheaper tool than boring

equipment, especially when the depth of exploration is moderate and the

soils under investigation are soft and loose as Mackintosh Probe was has

been used in a variety of soft soils. Chan & Chin (1972) and Kong (1983)

also have reported the use of the Mackintosh Probe in the residual soils

of Malaysia. Since the proposed site located in Malaysia, the soil most

probably will be residual soil. Besides that, mackintosh probe equipment

can be carried to site by manpower. Thus, it is more convenient to use

this equipment compare to standard penetration test SPT as SPT requires

machinery to carry out its work. The test was carried out at three

locations within an area of 5m2.

6.1.4 Discussion

From Figure 6, the mackintosh probe was carried at three locations. It can be observed that

the Trial 1 varies more than the other two. This may due to the water table exist at the location

where the result for Trial 1 was carried out. The graph shows that top layer of soil is very stiff as

many people walked on the top soil and subsequently compacted the layer from time to time.

However, when depth increases, the consistency of soil decreases. When it comes to around 1.8m

deep, the soil layer becomes stiffer along the depth. For Trial 2, the penetration stops at 2.206m as

it reaches cobbles or rocks. Thus, it is suggested to locate the foundation at depth around 0.8m as

the soil layer at this depth is belongs to stiff soft. Besides that, it is not suitable to locate the

foundation at depth less than 0.5m because this soil layer contains organic matters. It may make

the excavation work and compaction work easier to be carried out. The soil profile of the proposed

site is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Soil profile of the proposed site

7.0 Laboratory Test

7.1 Triaxial Test

Laboratory test such as triaxial test is carried out to determine soil strength and angle of

cohension. Based on the observation from site reconnaissance, laboratory test is carried out instead

of in-situ testing due to the homogeneity of ground formation at the site. Therefore, the lab data is

assumed to be representative of the site.

Page 16: SI

- 12 -

7.1.1 Introduction

Triaxial test method is carried out to determine the strength and stress-strain relationships

of a cylindrical specimen of either undisturbed or remolded cohesive soil. Specimens are subjected

to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. No drainage of the specimen is permitted during

the test. The specimen is sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial

deformation (strain controlled). This test method provides data for determining undrained strength

properties and stress-strain relations for soils. This test method provides for the measurement of

the total stresses applied to the specimen, that is, the stresses are not corrected for pore-water

pressure

7.1.2 Objectives

i. To determine the undrained shear strength and cohesion of cohesive soil.

ii. To determine the internal friction angle

iii. To determine the soil void ratio and degree of saturation.

7.1.5 Discussion

From Figure 10, the shear strength of soil, c is 41.8kPa and the internal friction ϕ is12o.

The laboratory result is able to represent the site as the soil is observed to be homogenous at the

site. These two soil parameters are used in pad foundation design.

8.0 Conclusion

- From hand auger sampling, it was observed that top soil is darker in color as it contains

organic matter. It was found that the top soil is about 30cm. Hence, top soil need to be

removed before construction and the foundation must be built at the depth below top soil.

- From mackintosh test, it is suggested to locate the foundation at depth around 0.8m as the

soil layer at this depth is belongs to stiff soft. The soil profile is very stiff at the top layer,

medium at the subsequent layer and stiff at the third layer.

- From triaxial test, the shear strength of soil, c is 41.8kPa and the internal friction ϕ is12o

with dry unit weight of 17.49kN/m3.

9.0 Role in the Project

In this project, field test and laboratory test had been carried out to determine the soil

parameters and investigate the suitability of site for the proposed lookout tower near Varsity Lake.

The sampling methods, hand auger and soil sampler were used to extract soil samples. For field

test, mackintosh probe test had been carried out to investigate the soil profile. Lastly, triaxial test

was carried out for laboratory test to determine shear strength and internal friction of the soil.

These works are distributed among the group members. All members were involved in the field

test and lab test.

In this project, we took turns to assemble the probe and drop the hammer in mackintosh

probe test. I also in charge of record the number of blows for mackintosh probe and assisted my

members to hold the probe to make sure the probe penetrated vertically into the soil. Besides that,

I helped to screw and unscrew the rod of the probe. However, more guys are involved in sampling

works as the works required more manpower.

For laboratory test, I involved in setting up the triaxial apparatus by preparing the test

samples such that inserted the samples into the membrane before it was put into the apparatus. I

also monitored and controlled the deviator stress before the test was conducted.
