  • FORMOSA HA TINH STEEL CORPORATION THE INTEGRATED STEEL MILL & SON DUONG PORT FORMOSA HA TINH

    CNG TY C PHN T VN THIT K CNG - K THUT BIN (PORTCOAST CONSULTANT CORPORATION) 5

    - Bentonite solution Sampling: Undisturbed sample: After drilling the borehole to require sample depth, the borehole is clean (by circulating - washing solution). Lowering the thin-walled tube of 76mm OD and 60cm length by hammer drop or hydraulic push about 50cm length. Pulling up the sample, then washing the tube, sealing by wax, labeling the sample with number and depth transport to the laboratory everyday. Samples were kept in the shade and avoid from shock. Taking, packaging samples were carried out in accordance with ASTM-D 1587 and transported to laboratory in short-term for maintenance and test.

    3.1.2. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) was carried out in accordance with ASTM D 1586-84 with the interval 2m/test after taking UD. The SPT sample was taken by using rope for dropping the hammer with the weight of 63,5kg (140 lbs), and drop height of 76cm to penetrate into soil 45cm. Test divided into 3 increments, then counting the blow count for each increment; the total of last 2 increments is the N-value shown in the boring log of this report. Samples in the sampler were used for soil description and maintained in plastic bag with label of sample number, depth. Results of SPT are shown in the boring logs - Appendix 03.

    3.2. Laboratory testing

    3.2.1. Soil laboratory testing 3.2.1.1. Grained size

    This test is performed in two stages: sieve analysis for coarse-grained soils (>0.075mm) and hydrometer analysis for fine-grained soils (< 0.075mm).

    Results are reported on a combined grain size distribution plot as the percentage of sample smaller than, by weight, versus the log of the particle diameter.

    3.2.1.2. Moisture content The moisture content, W, is defined as the ratio of the weight of water in a sample to the weight of solids. The wet sample is weighed, and then over-dried to a constant weight at a temperature of about 110oC. The weight after drying is the weight of solids. The moisture content is valuable in determining the properties of soils and can be correlated with other parameters. Tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 2216.

    3.2.1.3. Atterberg Limit The liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL) is all Atterberg Limits. The liquid limit (LL) is the moisture content of a soil at the boundary between the liquid and plastic states. The plastic limit (PL) is the moisture content at the boundary between the plastic and semi-solid states. These values are useful in soil classification and have been correlated with other parameters. Tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 4318.

    3.2.1.4. Specific gravity of soil

    The specific gravity of soil, s, is defined as the ratio of the mass soil particles to the mass of an equal volume of water at a stated temperature. The specific gravity is determined by means of calibrated pycnometer, by which the mass and temperature of de-aired soil water sample is measured. Tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 854.

    3.2.1.5. Direct shear test The direct shear test evaluates both cohesion c and angle of internal friction and internal friction angle. These parameters are used to evaluate a soils shear strength. Cohesionless soils are always tested in consolidated-drained condition (CD) and performed in accordance with ASTM D 3080. The tests were done by Chinese machnine. For cohesive and cohessionless soils, the first applied normal stress is 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 kG/cm2 for samples with depth less than 10, 20, and 30m, respectively.

    3.2.1.6. Oedometer test To carry out this test on the Humboldt system (USA) consists of dead-weight consolidation. The data were automatically recorded based on the data acquisition system. Tests were performed in accordance with ASTM 2435. Tests determined the compressibility of soil. In this test, a specimen is placed in an oedometer between two porous stones, which permit drainage. For soft soil, first applied pressure was at 0.125kG/cm2, and then increased twice up to 4 kG/cm2. For medium to stiff clay, first applied pressure was 0.25 kG/cm2. For each load increment, start taking time and deflection reading at the total elapsed time of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 360, 720 and 1440 minutes.

    The data from a consolidation test is usually presented on an e-log p curve. The parameters necessary for settlement calculation can be derived form these curves: compression index (Cc), recompression index (Cr), preconsolidation pressure (Pc) and initial void ratio (eo). A separate plot is prepared of change in sample height versus square time for each load increment to determine the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) and coefficient of secondary compression (C). These parameters are used to predict the rate of primary settlement and amount of secondary compression.

    3.2.1.7. Unconfined compression test The unconfined compression test is used to measure the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils. Tests were done by Humboldt (USA) and performed in according with ASTM 2166-85. Loading data and test parameters are recorded with a computer based data acquisition system.

    3.2.1.8. Triaxial Compression test The tests were done by LoadTrac-II/FlowTrac-II system of Geocomp (USA). This system combined with the computer via network card control the pressure of cell and sample, and then the test can be controlled automatically from start to finish. Triaxial Compression Test: for a cohesive soil can appear positive pore water pressure when executing of work or oscillate under ground water, test consolidated undrained type (CU). The sample is consolidated with drain lines open until no further drainage occurs (it has consolidated). The drain lines are then closed, and the sample is tested to failure (undrained). This type is executed to determine the undrained and effective strength parameters of soil after consolidated.

    3.2.2. Rock laboratory testing

    3.2.2.1. Determination of basic physical properties The basic physical properties of rock namely; water content, density, grain specific gravity, and porosity. This method was suggested by ISRM Committee on Laboratory Tests, document No.2 (1972) Determination of basic physical properties of rock

    3.2.2.2. Determination water content of Rock specimens The procedure of this test theoretically the same with moisture content of soil test. The water content, W, is defined as the ratio of the weight of water in a sample to the weight of dry sample. The wet sample is weighed, and then over-dried to a constant weight at a temperature of about 105oC 3oC. The weight after drying is the weight of dry sample. The water content is valuable in determining the properties of rock and can be correlated with other parameters. Tests also were performed in accordance with ASTM D 2216.

    3.2.2.3. Determination density and porosity of Rock specimens This test is intended to measure effective porosity and density of rock samples in the form of specimens of regular geometry. The representative sample was selected and weighed, then saturated it. Its saturated submerged weigh was measured. Allow the samples were removed from the immersion bath, and weighed saturated sample with dry surface.

    3.2.2.4. Unconfined compressive Strength test for intact Rock core The unconfined compressive strength test for intact rock core sample is intended to determine the unconfined compressive strength (qu), and deformation modulus (Es50) of a rock sample in form of specimens of cylindrical shapes. Tests were done by Electro Hydraulic Compression Testing Machine, TYA-2000 (Peoples Republic of China), the load and displacement were measured by loadcell, and position transducer (Honeywell), the testing system are shown in Fig 3.12. Some rock samples of this test were done by LoadTrac-II system of Geocomp (USA). This test performed in according with ASTM D 2938-95. Loading data and test parameters are recorded with a computer based data acquisition system.

    3.2.2.5. Direct shear test for intact Rock

    The direct shear test for intact rock core sample by compression in bevelled dies was applied to determine the peak and residual shear strength, and these friction angles of intact core rock. The direct shear stress is a function of normal stress on the shear plane in this type of test. Tests were done by Hydraulic Compression Machine, with a set of dies bevelled at 30o, 45o, and 60o. The rock test specimen was inserted to bevelled dies, and then pair of dies was placed between two press platens of compression machine on required shear plane. Apply load continuously, load and vertical displacement was record by computer. The loading rate about 0.5 MPa/s was applied. When the maximum load is reached the test should be further carried out till the load become constant.

    3.2.2.6. UU test for Rock core

    The rock core specimens were tested in an undrained state under triaxial compression loading (UU test) in order to obtain the shear strength at various lateral pressures, angle of shearing resistance, cohesion intercept, and deformation moduli of the intact rock. Test specimens shall be right circular cylinders having a height to a diameter ratio of 2.0-2.5 (preferably closer to 2.5. The triaxial cell developed by Hock and Franklin is used in this test in which cell pressure is provided from a hydraulic pump connect to an oil inlet in the cell wall to be able to support a confining stress up to 70 MPa.). The tests were performed in accordance with ISRM.

    3.2.2.7. Slake durability Index Test

    This test method covers the determination of the slake durability index of a shale or other similar rock after two drying and wetting cycles with abrasion. The slake durability index is the percentage by dry mass retained of a collection of shale pieces on a 2.00 mm (No. 10) sieve. The test was performed in accordance with ASTM 4644

    3.3. Data processing and statistical analysis Based on results of laboratory and in-situ tests were done to give the characteristics values of soil layers.

    3.3.1. In-situ testing 3.3.1.1. Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

    Results of SPT in field are shown in Appendix 03. The correction factors for all SPT values are shown below. For cohesive soil, the correction N-value is called N60 and consists of the correction for the driving technique corresponding to 60% rod energy. The correction of N-value shall be 0.75 due to the driving by using rope to drop the hammer. For cohesionless soil, the correction N-value (N60) is same as that for cohesion soil. However, gravel particles larger than the SPT sampler (35 mm I.D.) interfere with

  • FORMOSA HA TINH STEEL CORPORATION THE INTEGRATED STEEL MILL & SON DUONG PORT FORMOSA HA TINH

    CNG TY C PHN T VN THIT K CNG - K THUT BIN (PORTCOAST CONSULTANT CORPORATION) 11

    driving, giving artificially high N value; so, Skempton (1986) reviewed the information and proposed a method for correction related to an overburden pressure. The formula is as followed:

    N = CN N60 Where,

    '0v

    N100C =

    3.3.2. Soil laboratory testing

    3.3.2.1. Laboratory testing To determine the designed values for each layer, physical parameters are analysed and summarized by calculating the variation coefficient v of parameters (W, s, LL, PL...). Standard values of soil parameter in layers are calculated as the average value by using least square method. Cohesion c and internal friction angle from direct shear test are also analysed by calculating variation coefficient. Standard values of soil parameter in layers are calculated as the average value by using least square method. Testing results are shown summary in Appendix 05& 06.2.

    3.3.2.2. Unconfined compression test for cohesive soil The unconfined compression strength qu is the maximum load at failure. Testing results are presented on - (stress-strain) curve. The strength for cohesive soil equal to haft the unconfined compression: Su = qu/2 Testing results are shown in Appendix 06.3.

    3.3.2.3. Triaxial compression tests In CU tests, the strength effective parameters (c; ) are determined. The coefficient of consolidation Cv can be determined from t100 value in the consolidated stage of CU test as following:

    100

    tDCV

    = Where: D: specimen diameter (m)

    : 80 for drainage from radial boundary and one end t100: time at 100% of consolidation

    Note: the consolidation parameters and permeability from the results of triaxial compression test are reference value because these parameters are affected by the porous stone and the filter paper. The values of t100 determine mainly the shear rate of samples and are calculated as following: tf = 1.59t100. Results of triaxial test (CU) are shown in Appendix 06.4.

    3.3.3. Rock laboratory testing 3.3.3.1. The basic physical properties of rock

    The basic physical properties of rock were calculated relied upon some parameter as weighed, volume, and density of water. The water content was calculated by ratio of weight of water contained in pores to weight of dry sample. The density and porosity of rock was determined by saturation and buoyancy techniques. These parameters were calculated follow:

    Density VbWg= (g/cm3)

    Saturated density Vb

    Wsatsat = (g/cm3)

    Porosity %100=VbVpn

    3.3.3.2. Unconfined compression test for rock core The procedures rock strength are theoretically the same with unconfined compression test for cohesive soil. The testing results are presented on the stress-strain curve, the unconfined compressive strength (qu) is the maximum of uniaxial stress, and the deformation modulus (Es50) is determined by ratio of 50% of unconfined compressive strength to strain at this point. Results of Unconfined compression test are shown in Appendix 07.1. The classification of rock on the basis of unconfined compressive strength shall be determined after Bjeniawski (1989) as follows:

    Rock group Unconfined compressive strength (MPa) Very weak rock 1 Weak rock 1 5 Moderate weak rock 5 25 Moderate strong rock 25 50

    4. SUMMARY ON GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS 4.1. Elevation reference and bathymetric data

    The co-ordinates system used in this report are in VN-2000 system with the elevation reference of Hon Dau system. The difference between the CD and Hon Dau system is +1.30m. The seabed elevation ranges from -4.5m to -12.0m along the breakwater: - On the western side (at breakwater root), the seabed is ranging from -4.5m (A10) to -11m (B4) with the length of about 980m. - The remained length is slightly flat, ranged from -11.0m to -12.0m at the head of breakwater. The seabed elevation of the channel ranges from -11.0m (at the berth area) to -14.1m (at C2), then getting deeper and reaches -24.8m (at the north of Son Duong island).

    4.2. Geotechnical profile The layout of boreholes are superimposed into the geologic map with the scale of 1/50,000, and shown in the Appendix 1 and figure 4.1. Faults on land area of the map are assumed to extend towards seashore area to clarify the geotechnical profiles. Based on the results of soil investigation and laboratory test, the geological conditions of the project area are relatively complicated by the presence of recent marine formations in details as follows:

    Layer 1: Marine sand, fine to medium grained size, in yellowish brown, loose to medium dense state.

    Layer 2: Marine clay, very soft to soft, bluish grey, yellowish grey. There are lenses of sandy clay or clayey siltt in this layer (namely 2b) with not uniformly distribution.

    Layer 3: Intermediate sand, fine to medium with gravel, yellowish grey, medium dense state.

    Layer 4: Intermediate clay, stiff, yellowish grey, reddish brown. The above sediments are overlying the complicated complex of rock with Age ranged from Ordovician - Silurian period (with marine sediment rocks) to Triassic period (with volcanic igneous rock).

    The 3 mains rock formations in the area are as follows (arranged in order of old to young age):

    - Formation Song Ca (O3-S1 sc2)- Ordovician to Silurian Period, consists of shale in blackish grey color with strip structure of quartz. Its thickness is upto 700m. Above this layer is also shale with the interbeded thin layers of clay and calcic.

    This formation is located in the South of job site, and existed mainly in the site area where there is Song Ca deep fault, still active.

    - Formation Hoanh Son (T2a hs)- Triassic Period: intrusive rock of granite, granoporphyry, found in boreholes along sea shore of oil terminal area (borehole B13 to B16).

    - Formation Dong Truc (J1-2 dt) Jurassic Period: consists of igneous rock of dacite, rhyolite at the bottom and conglomerate at the top. This formation is found near the Son Duong Island, head of break water and along navigation channel. The upper cover of rock formations are residual weathering following layers:

    Layer 5 or 5b: Residual soil, weathered from shale, siltstone into sandy clay with gravel (layer 5) or weathered from sandstone, siltstone into clayey sand with gravel (layer 5b).

    Layer L1: this is a weathered formation from volcanic rubble of dacite/ rhyolite into coarse sand with gravel, whitish grey, very dense. This formation is only located near the Son Duong island area.

    Rock formations:

    Layer L2: volcanic rubble of dacite/ rhyolite. Layer G: granite, granoporphyry. Layer 6a: Shale with strip of quartzite, dark grey, high fractured. Layer 6b: Shale with strip of quartzite, dark grey, whitish grey, highly

    fractured. Layer 6c: Shale with strip of quartzite, sericite, dark grey, whitish grey,

    medium weather.

    Based on the profile along the breakwater axis, provided in Appendix 2, the breakwater can be divided into 3 main parts, from its root to head: -Part I: from borehole A7 to the west end, about 1,400m long, with marine sand on the top and shale of weathered degree reducing with depth at the bottom of profile. -Part II: transition area (from A7 to A4) about 1,580m long with the rock formations of sediment rock, and the fault clearly found passing through borehole A6. -Part III: from borehole A3 to A1 (head of breakwater) about 2,900m long with soft marine clay on top and volcanic rubble at the bottom of profile. The following is geological map 1:50,000 in the area (figure 4.1), and the distribution of rock layers shown in figure 4.2.

    In design, if choosing the parameters from Hoek-Brown analysis, then it is rather conservative, because of following reasons: -The analysis is based on UC test of a few samples which are not sure of representative of the layers. There is not any samples done for layer 6a due to low RQD and TCR (total core recovery). With the value of RQD less than 25% (soft rock), it was obtained 79% of rock core in layer 6a, and 53% in layer 6b.

    -Schist formation with strips of quarzite sandstone strongly crushed and folded lead to strength heterogeneity. Along the cleavage surfaces (i.e. paralell to loading direction) it can be very weak, but perpendicular to them it can be strong. The typical dip angle of cleavage surfaces is unknown. -As a result, in Hoek-Brown analysis, the Geological Strength Index (GSI) determined from rock structure is unknown and effected to the results, then it can not be used for deriving global and tensile strength. The plot of compressive strength from laboratory rock test for layer 6b vs. RQD imposed with Allowable Bearing Pressure, Qa (by Peck et al, 1974) using se-mi emperical method is shown in the figure 5.1. Based on this curve (allowable bearing pressure by Peck), the bearing pressure for layer 6a and 6b are 1.35 and 3.0 Mpa; respectively. However, these values are still overestimated the Qa value because it does not take into account the condition of joints and presence of infilling material.
