Purpose of site formation is to prepare a piece of land in order to:
• Accommodate building/s or other facilities which will be placed within the area.
• Form the land to the required orientation, shape or levels in order to accommodate such facilities.
• Provide the required back-up facilities including access roadways, drainage and other related services, both temporary or permanent in nature.

What works are usually involved in site formation projects in Hong Kong
• Clearance of the site including the removal of buildings or unwanted structures, shrubs and trees, surface soil and debris.
• Excavation by cutting into slope or other land area to get the required/extra land
• Leveling of the land by necessary cutting or filling to get a piece of flat or terraced land.
• Stabilize natural or new slope within the site.• Construct retaining wall (as part of the slope
stabilization or trimming to terraced land).• Forming of access road and drainage system

Clearance of the site including the removal of buildings or unwanted structures, shrubs and trees, surface soil and debris.- usually done by the use of bulldozer, scraping or other excavating machines

Slope can be classified into a few types:
1. Natural Slope 2. Man-made Slope, including cut-back
slope or slope formed by filled material with adequate compaction, usually retained by retaining structures
3. Rock Slope, Soil Slope, Mixed 4. Stable slope, Slope with potential hazard,
Dangerous slope
![Page 11: Topic: Site Formationpersonal.cityu.edu.hk/bswmwong/pl/pdf/siteformation.pdfA surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e6b0889fea07d37c961096d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What to do with slope1.Surface protection such as vegetation
(rigid cover (masonry, plaster or shotcrete)
2.Surface drainage (including surface channels, catch pits and sand traps)
3.Subsurface drainage (including weepholes and subsoil drain etc.)
4.Other protective provision such as prestressed ground anchors
![Page 12: Topic: Site Formationpersonal.cityu.edu.hk/bswmwong/pl/pdf/siteformation.pdfA surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e6b0889fea07d37c961096d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Factors affecting the stability of slope1. Topography and its surrounding physical
conditions. Detail analysis can be done by appropriate site investigation process.
2. Geological conditions such as the nature and depth of its subsoil, degree of decomposition, or location of fracture etc. This data can be obtained by soil investigation.
3. Shear strength of the slope-forming materials. Data can be obtained using laboratory tests.
4. Surface and ground water condition5. External loading and surcharges, such as from
traffic, nearby structures, possible vibration etc.

Stability of slope can be effectively improved by the provision of an appropriately design drainage system, this cab be achieved by:
1. A surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment area affecting the slope in a designated period of time (say, 200mm rainfall/hour).
A surface drain system usually consists of:- surface channel- stepped or trapezoidal channel- catchpit or sand trap
![Page 14: Topic: Site Formationpersonal.cityu.edu.hk/bswmwong/pl/pdf/siteformation.pdfA surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e6b0889fea07d37c961096d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stability of slope can be effectively improved by :
2. A subsoil drain system that is laid below surface for the discharging of ground water and to maintain the water pressure be kept in a safe level filter layer behind the slope leading water to outlets
- weepholes
- cut-off drain- subsoil drain pipe

Protection and treatment to Rock SlopeMost rock slopes need some forms of treatment to
ensure continued stability. Improvement methods include:
1. Scaling – loose blocks or boulders to be removed from exposed rock surfaces, this is usually done by manual method.
2. Construct buttress support – this is concrete or masonry gravity structure use to retain the unstable rock mass
3. Dentition – exposed soft material in a rock face be trimmed back. The resulting slot be filled with filter material and protected by masonry or concrete to prevent erosion.
![Page 18: Topic: Site Formationpersonal.cityu.edu.hk/bswmwong/pl/pdf/siteformation.pdfA surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e6b0889fea07d37c961096d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Protection and treatment to Rock Slope (continue)
4. Sprayed concrete – apply concrete protection to zones of weak or highly fractured rock faces by spray-on method.
5. Dowel – a hole is drilled and provide untensionedsteel bars, usually 25mm to 35mm dia. and 1m to 3m long, to stabilize a weak rock zone. The hole would be grouted afterward.
6. Rock bolt/nail – this is tensioned bar inserted into rock forming a short anchorage zone in rock so that an unstable slope area being reinforced by tension. Typical rock bolts are 25mm to 40mm in dia. 3m to 6m long, and have a tensile working load around 100kN.

Protection and treatment to Earth-filled slopeWhere a slope is to be stabilized to eliminate
possible flow-slide, the surface layers should be stripped to a vertical depth not less than 3m and replaced it with dry and well compacted fill.
A drainage system is also required between old and re-compacted fill to prevent development of water pressure behind the filled zone.
If it is possible, try to reform the profile of the slope to a safe angle which is determined by mathematic analysis.

Protection to slope by rigid surfaceRigid surface protection on slopes are commonly
used to reduce rainwater infiltration and to prevent erosion of the slope-forming materials. This can be done by:
Chunam plastering – this is an applied-on surface protection to slope using a clay and cement mixed plaster. Thickness of the plaster is around 40mm to 50mm for permanent works.
Sprayed concrete (shotcrete) – protection by applying a spraying mortar onto surface of slope.
![Page 25: Topic: Site Formationpersonal.cityu.edu.hk/bswmwong/pl/pdf/siteformation.pdfA surface drain system that is capable to discharge all the storm water within the rain water catchment](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e6b0889fea07d37c961096d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Protection to slope by rigid surface (continue)
Masonry or stone pitching – lay stone rubble or block (with filter layer underneath) onto surface to protect slope from weathering
In general, rigid surface may create a very awkward appearance. Besides, the surface is highly impermeable thus weep holes are required for draining out of the ground water to avoid the development of high water pressure behind the slope
Using stone pitching as a rigid slope surface

Protect a slope by the use of retaining wallRetaining wall are structures usually provided at the
toe of a slope to stabilize it from slide, overturn or collapse.
A slope will be relatively stable when its profile (section angle) is kept below its angle of repose.
Angle of repose is an angle that maintains naturally to a safe equilibrium by the composing material of a slope. This angle deviates from differing materials depending on their compaction, particle size and the nature of the material itself. (e.g. cohesiveness and shear strength)
