HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper

Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0

All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

Attention Mr William Duanne
Gent lemen
Please find attached our report of a soils and foundation investigation for a proposed grain storage complex in Aqaba Jordan This report is submitted in compliance with the terms of our subcontract agreement with Black amp Veatch dated June 9 1976
The field exploration for this project was performed under the technical supervision of one of our soils engineers Mr John S Horvath was the project engineer
The results of our study indicate that the storage silo can be constructed on a re-inForced conzrete mat in the originally planned 13cation Italso appears feasible to support the conveyor towers on shallow foundations
We have appreciated the opportunity to work with Black amp Veatch International on this project If you have any questions concerning this report please contact us
Sincerely yours

REPORT
SOILS AND FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION
PROPOSED GRAN STORAGE COMPLZX
AQABA JORDAN
HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper
-3-
Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement

All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper
-3-
Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO

(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C
Chemical The following chemical test data were also obtained
from Boring B-1 Sample 1 (bulk samples) at a depth of 00 to 02 meters

SOILS AND FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION
PROPOSED GRAN STORAGE COMPLZX
AQABA JORDAN
HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper
-3-
Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

REPORT
SOILS AND FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION
PROPOSED GRAN STORAGE COMPLZX
AQABA JORDAN
HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper

Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

PROPOSED GRAN STORAGE COMPLZX
AQABA JORDAN
HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of our soils investigation and our
foundation recommendations for a grain storage complex to be constructed at
the Port of Aqaba Jordan The approximate layout of the proposed facilities
is shown on the Map of Area Plate 1 at the ed of tiis report
PROPOSED STRUCTURES
The structures to be constructed for this project fall Into three
categories
(1) a 30000 metric ton multi-bin grain storage silo to be constructed of re-inforced concrete The bins will be approximately 100 feet (30m) high and supported on a common mat foundatiorn approximately 70 by 220 feet (215 by 67 meters) in plan The average uniform pressure at foundation level is expected to be in the range of 5000 to 6000 lbsftz (24 to 29 kgcm 2) The headhouse will be adjacent to the north end of the silo It will be of lightweight steel construction and extend 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30m) above the top of the silo The headhouse basement will extend several meters below grade to accommodate mechanical equipment
(2) miscellaneous warehouse-type structurcs to be constructed in the vicinity of the silo and
KNOLME 0 Moonm
- 2 shy
(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper
-3-
Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures

EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

(3) a conveyor to transport grain from the existing wharf area to the silo The conveyor will vary
from a few feet to as much as 100 feet (30m) or
more above ground The conveyor will be supported
by three large towers supported on mats with several intermediate support frames to provide
primarily wind bracing
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this investigation was to provide the neessary
foundation design parameters for the proposed construction To accomplish
this we performed the following work as authorized in our subcontract to
Black amp Veatch International dated June 9 1976
(1) supervised the drilling of borings within the project area
(2) performed laboratory tests to determine
the relevant engineering properties of the site soils and
(3) analyzed the field and laboratory results to evaluate foundation alternates and establish
foundation design criteria
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The overall project area is shown on Plate I Within this area
the ground generally slopes upwards from the wharf area southeastwards on
a relatively uniform moderate slope Major exceptions to this are a high
(up to approximately 30 feet (9m) above surrounding grade) railroad embankment
which crosses the area in a northeast-southwest direction and an earth dike
In the area of the proposed silo this dike is approximately 10 feet (3m)
high 12 feet (37m) wide at the top and 40 to 45 feet (122 to 137m)
wide at the base Side slopes are typically 15 horizontal to I vertical or
steeper
-3-
Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

Most of the area along the conveyor route is occupied by warehouse
and other port-related structures We understand that the silo area is
currently used for truck parking
SUBSURFACE
General Geology The project area lies between the foot of a
mountain chain to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west This has
resulted in a complex near-surface geology Soil primarily brown sand and
gravel with some cobbles and boulders has been washed down from the
mountains while at the same time gray silty clay silt and fine sand has
apparently been deposited in tidal flats along the shoreline Since the
shore at one time was several hundred meters east of its present position the
zone between past and present shorelines is underlain by a complex heteroshy
geneous series of predominantly granular mountain outwash soils underlain by
now-buried tidal flats of fine-grained material and more outwash soils The
borings drilled for this study reflect this general condition and are
discussed inmore detail in subsequent sections of this report A detailed
discussion of our field ex~loration methods is presented in the appendix to
this report
Silo Area The locations of the borings drilled for the storage
silo are shown on Plate I and is more detail on the Plot Plan Plate 2
Borings B-1 and B-2 were drilled first in the area of the originally desired
silo location However these borings revealed an unexpected layer of silty
clay silt and sand At that time borings B-7 to B-10 inclusive were added
to the drilling program to evaluate other potential silo sites since the
presence of clay under the silo could be a source of excessive settlement
Mr In MO0

All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

PLATE A-5C
-4-
All borings drilled in the silo area revealed generally similar
conditions as follows
(i) a layer of dense weakly-cemented mountain outwash sand gravel cobbles and boulders that extends from the ground surface to depths of 80 to 125 meters (262 to 410 feet)
(2) underlain by a layer approximately 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) thick comprised of varved sand silt clayey silt and silty clay This layer is extremely heterogeneous both in its areal and vertical extent and composition and was not foid in Borings B-3 and B-8 The heterogeneity of this soil layer is understandable in view of the complex geology involved in its formation especially in the area of the silo which was once a
tidal flat as discussed previously On the basis of the consolidation tests performed for this study it appears that the lenses of silty clay found in this layer are overconsolidated apparently because of past desiccation to approximately 6000 lbsft 2 (29 kgcm 2 ) in excess of existing overburden pressures and
(3) underlying the layer of fine-grained soils is another layer of dense outwash sand gravel and cobbles that exterded to the limits of the depths explored (up to 425 meters (1394 feet))
Conveyor Route Borings B-4 (A B C) B-5 and -6 (locations
shown on Plate 1) were drilled to evaluate soil conditions along the planned
conveor route Conditions found are similar to those in the silo area
except that the surface layer of dense sand gravel and cobbles as 4ell as
the underlying varved slty claysiltsand layer thins out going from
southeast to northwest towardF the shoreline Borings B-6 and B-4C also
encountered a layer of conglomerate rock known locally as beach rock We
understand that the beach rock is often found in the wharf area up to
several meters thick Borings B-4A and B-4C which were drilled near the
AR 4 gMOT
-5shy
existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

existing shoreline terminated in a layer of boulder fill Due to budget
constraints the boulder fill was not penetrated to determine the nature of
the underlying soils However borings drilled in 953-4 along and just
east of the existing shoreline in the vicinity of Berths I and 7 indicate
that gray and brown sand (densities unknown) extended from just below
elevation 0 (datum unknown presumably mean tide) to approximately Elevation
-26 meters prior to filling for the wharf area The description of the soil
encountered appears to be similar to that in Boring B-5
GROUNDWATER
The exact mean tidal range in the Gulf of Aqaba is unknown although
it appears to be in the range of 1 to 15 meters (3 to 5 feet) Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at or near mean tide level Tidal fluctuations
of up to 60cm (2 feet) were observed in some of the boreholes
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
We believe that the structures for this grain storage complex
can be constructed at the planned locations utilizing shallow foundations
Settlements should be within tolerable limits that will permit proper
performance of the structures Detailed foundation design parameters are
presented later in this report
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
In the opinion of our seismologists the earthquake potential at
the site corresponds to that of Zone 3 of the Uniform Building Code For
such severe seismic potential liquefaction or loss of strength of granular
AMES MOOn1
-6shy
(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

(sand and gravel) soils under earthquake motions is generally a concern
Although not studied for this investigation we believe that liquefaction
will probably not be a major problem at the site because of the relatively
low groundwater levels coarse texture and apparent high densities of the
submerged granular soils However liquefaction may be a problem where fine
sands exist such as at Boring B-5 and possibly other locations near the
existing shoreline
FOUNDATION DESIGN
General All foundations should be at least 2 feet (60cm) below
outside grade Existing surface soils in the silo area do not appear to
present a corrosion potential for concrete Type I cement may therefore
be used however any fill or aggregate for concrete brought onto the site
should be tested for their potential detrimental effects on concrete
Unwashed beach sand should not be used as concrete aggregate
Silo and Headhouse We undEstand that the grades in this area
will be raised and the silo bins supported on a common mat of re-inforced
concrete We recommend that the increase in net pressure under the silo
due to both fill and foundation loads be no greater than 6000 lbsft 2
(29 kgcm 2) If this unit pressure is used stress increases on the fineshy
grained soil layer at the original silo site will be held below the overshy
consolidation pressure and only relatively minor settlements should occur
We estimate that settlements under the center of the silo mat will be I to
Ii inches (25 to 38mm) with one-half to three-quarters of this settlement
occurring at the edges of the foundation Settlements should occur within
Net pressure Is the stress in excess of that currently existing at a given
depth below the ground surface
DDMrE-i It wuOOnf
a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

a few weeks after load application
Maximum foundation edge pressures under short duration loads such
as wind or earthquake may be increased one-third above static load values
provided that no tensile pressures are created under the uplifted side of thle
mat Because of the dense granular nature of the near surface soils a
high safety factor against a bearing capacity failure should exist under the
recommended maximum allowable foundation pressures
The foundation for the headhouse basement should be kept at least
one meter (33 feet) above the fine-grained soil layer found in Boring B-I
The headhouse walls below grade should be designed to resist at-rest lateral
earth pressure plus the foundation loads from the adjacent silo and any
other surface surcharge loads
Miscellaneous Structures-Silo Area No borings were drilled for
the warehouses which will be immediately north and east of the silos Howshy
ever soil conditions in these areas should be similar to those in the silo
area Settlements under large floor loads should be proportional to those
under the silo The relationship of foundation pressures and widths and
settlements for the individual building footings can be estimated from the
following equation
S = 0006 pB
where S = footing settlement in Inches
2 p = ivrage net footing pressure In klpsft
P = foting width in feet
This equation assumes that all foundations are placed on properly compacted
soil as discussed later in this report that no footing Is less than 2 feet
00re2IFC04m
-8shy
wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures

EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO

(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C

wide and that the maximum footing pressure does not exceed 8 kipsFt2
(39 kgcm 2)
An increase of one-third in the static bearing pressure is
allowable for short duration ie wind or earthquake load conditions
provided that no tensile pressure exists at the uplifted edge of the
footing A suitable safety factor against a bearing capacity failure
should exist for all foundations designed in accordance with these
recommendations
Conveyor The three major conveyor foundations will primarily
resist loads in the plane of the conveyor They will be located near the
headhouse Boring B-5 and somewhere near the wharf For the foundations
near the heaohouse and B-5 the same foundation design criteria as
presented for the silo-area warehouses can be used since soil conditions
in these two areas are similar The foundation mats should be embedded
in the ground as deep as feasible to help against overturning moments
However for ease of construction foundations may be placed above the
water table wherever possible Due to insufficient subsoil data near the
wharf foundation recommendations cannot be made for this area other than
that all foundations be placed below the boulder fill
For the other smaller conveyor foundations which will support
transverse wind and earthquake loads foundation uplift capacity must be
provided for We recommend that this be achieved by embedding the footings
as deep as feasible to take advantage of embedment and overburden soil
pressures
-9-
EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

EARTHWORK
Excavations The sand and gravel soils above the watcr table
exhibit a low-grade cementation that allows vertical cuts several tens of
feet deep It is possible however that this cementation may be rapidly
lost upon wetting of the soil Since rainfall often occurs in Aqaba in
brief but severe storms we recommend that all excavations be sloped at
least 15 horizontal to I vertical We should note however that most of
the foundation excavations we observed in the area (eg for the new
phosphate stores) used vertical cuts We also call your attention to the
fact that excavation may be difficult because of the presence of cobbles
and boulders throughout most of the silo and conveyor route areas
Proofrolling Any excavation to foundation level inevitably
disturbs the top few inches of soil left in place Therefore we recommend
that the bottom of all excavations be compacted (proofrolled) prior to
pouring foundation concrete Any areas of weakness disclosed during proofshy
rolling should be compacted further
BackfillFill Placement We recommend that any backfill or fill
placed in the silo area be similar in gradation and texture to the soils
existing near surface except that cobbles or boulders should not be used
in these fills All backfill and fill should be compacted in lifts not
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) in thickness and to at least 95 of the
maximum dry density obtained in a Modified Proctor compaction test (ASTM
D-1557-70 Method D) We believe that a vibratory roller would produce
the best compaction results

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO
A-3
(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C

A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO
A-3
(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C
Chemical The following chemical test data were also obtained
from Boring B-1 Sample 1 (bulk samples) at a depth of 00 to 02 meters

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO
A-3
(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C

APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of 12 borings ranging in depth from 20 to 425 meters
(66 to 1394 feet) were drilled for this investigation GKN Keller of
Germany was the driller Shell and auger drill rigs were used and casing
was used in borings that extended below the water table to prevent collapse
of the boreholes Using this drilling method the borehole is advanced by
augering a given increment of depth to loosen the soil removing the loosened
soil with an orange-peel bucket driving the casing to the bottom of the
cleaned-out hole then sampling the soil by the desired method
The borings were drilled under the supervision of one of our soils
engineers who examined and classified all samples and kept a log of the
drilling operations Graphical presentations of the soils encountered are
shown on the Logi of Borings Plates A-IA to A-lG at the end of this appendix
The soils were clessififd using the Unified Soil Classification System which
is described on Plate A-2
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed without sampling
The sampler which is 2 inches (51 mm) 0 D was fitted with a 60 degree
solid end cone in lieu of the normal open drive shoe Such practice conforms
to a British Standard option where gravelly soils are encountered as at this
site The sampler was driven 45cm (177 in) using a 62 kg (1367 lb) drive
weight falling 30 inches (762 cm) The number of blows required to drive
the sampler the final 30 cm (118 in) unless otherwise noted is recorded
on the Log of Borings In the column labeled Blow Count This is the N
value from the SPT
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures
DMinn I M4OO
A-3
(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C

CONSOLIDATION TEST DATA
PLATE A-5C
A-2
Disturbed soil samples suitable for identification and index
property testing purposes were obtained at the depth of each SPT by mechanical
means
Relatively undistrubed soil samples were obtained by driving a
thick-wallkd steel tube approximately 4 inches (102 cm) 0 D by 18 inches
(457 cm) long into the ground A tapered drive shoe was screwed onto the
bottom of the tube to minimize sample disturbance In our opinion the
consolidation test samples obtained from these tubes were of excellent
quality
Borings B-I through B-6 were drilled at or close to locations
originally staked out by Black amp Veatch personnel Other boring locations
were estimated in the field by our engineer Boring elevations were estimated
by Black amp Veatch and Dames amp Moore using available charts and estimating
in the field Elevations are referenced to the Admiralty Chart datum of
Mean Tide (El 00 M)
LABORATORY TESTING
Soils Representative soil samples were shipped by air freight
to our Cranford New Jersey laboratory for further identification and
laboratory testing The remaining samples were left with CEC (Consulting
Engineering Center) in Amman Jordan
The following tests were performed to evaluate the engineering
properties of the soils influencing the performance of the proposed
structures

(I) Natural moisture contents were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216-71 The results are presented in Table A-i on page A-4
(2) Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Standards D423-66 and D424-59 The results are also presented in Table A-1
(3) A grain size determination was performed using sieves in accordance with ASTM Standard D422-63 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-3 at the end of this appendix
(4) A Compaction Test was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D1557-70 (Method D) The equipment used to perform this test and a description of the test method is shown on page A-5 The results are shown graphically on Plate A-4 at the end of this appendix and
(5) Consolidation Tests were performed on three samples to evaluate their compressibility Tnese tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Standard D2435-70 using the apparatus shown on page A-6 The results are presented graphically on Plates A-5A through A-5C
Chemical The following chemical test data were also obtained
from Boring B-1 Sample 1 (bulk samples) at a depth of 00 to 02 meters
