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

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

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

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

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

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

-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

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

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

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

CONSOLIDATION TEST DATA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
