3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION

This proposed Al-Faisaliah Site Jeddah Strategic Reservoir Project to be constructed at theproperty of Al-Faisaliah site in Al-Faisaliah district, Jeddah KSA. Based on the site

reconnaissance, the proposed site is flat area.

The surficial ground consists of Sandy materials.No electrical or telephone cables, sewer or waterpipes were observed within the project area. However, electricity and water services are provided

to the site. A sketch of site plan showing the location of the borings is presented in Figure No. B3.App. B.

4.0 GEOLOGICAL STUDY

Based on the information obtained from the available geological maps (Prepared by U.SGeological Survey and Arabian American Oil Company), the project area is covered by (Qu)ALLUVIUM Sand & Gravel in Wadis material with unconsolidated surficial deposits.

No faults or other special geological features were observed at site. Geological site map ispresented in Figure B2. App. B.

5.0 SEISMICITY AND EARTHQUAKES

JEDDAH quadrangle is located on the east side of the Red Sea escarpment and forms part oflarge monoclinal structure that dip 1o on average to the north north east. The monotony of thisstructure is interrupted by system of fractures oriented parallel to the axis of Red Sea and bysecondary fractures that strike north-south. For recommendations for the design requirements forthis zone, the design engineer shall consult the International Codes for Seismic Loads and Forces(such as UBC). However, according to Seismic Zonation Map, Jeddah lies in zone 2A where theseismic zone factor is 0.15. Figure B3. App. B. shows the Seismic Zonation Map of the proposedproject site area. A copy of the relevant page from the 1997 UNIFORM BUIDING CODE (Table16-I Seismic Zone Factor Z & Table 16-J Soil Profile Types) is attached in Appendix D.

6.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING

6.1 Field Exploration

6.1.1 Drilling

During the period from May 9th to 12th, 2013 One (1) borehole were drilled at site. Borehole wasdrilled to depths -30.0m below the existing ground surface. The number, depth and coordinate of

borehole is given in the Figure No.1 as instructed by the notes given on the approved boreholelayout and the engineer present at site. The locations of all boreholes were provided by the Client(CDM Arabia). The locations of the boreholes are also shown in Figure No. B4. The drilling wasexecuted with Agbo(RJ-08) type drill rig, mounted on Truck, using the rotary air flush drillingmethod. The logs of the boreholes are presented in Appendix A.

6.1.2 Sampling from Boreholes

Disturbed and representative samples were obtained using the split spoon sampler during theStandard Penetration Tests (SPT) that was performed at various depths of the boreholes. Splitspoon samples were recovered from various depths below ground surface.

The samples were obtained from the boreholes; the recovered samples were examined, describedand classified by our geotechnical engineer, placed in proper sequence in wooden boxes and

7/29/2019 s 130055

taken to our laboratories for testing. The moist samples were placed in waterproof plastic bagsbefore they were placed in the wooden boxes.

6.2 Field Testing in Borehole Samples

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) was performed at various depths in all boreholes to obtainapproximate relative densities of the ground materials. The tests were performed in accordance

with the following specification:

- ASTM D 1586-99, Standard Test Method For, "Penetration Test and Split Barrel Sampling ofSoils",with the use of 140 lb.hammer to recover samples in split-spoon sampler,and Cone

attachment was used where necessary.

The SPT blow counts provide useful index to obtain approximate relative densities, consistenciesand strength of the ground materials. The tests were performed in accordance with the ASTM D

1586-84 (1992), "Penetration Test and Split Barrel Sampling of Soils". The SPT blow counts atdifferent depths are presented on logs of borings (Appendix A).

The definition of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and useful SPT correction are presented in the

legend to borings logs, attached in App. A. Interpretation of the test results are also given in thelegend. Downhole hammer was also used to advance the borings between sampling intervals.Samples retrieved inside the split spoon samplers were preserved in watertight bags properlymarked with boreholes location and depth.

The test results are shown on the boring logs at depths of the tests. The Standard Penetration

Test (S.P.T) isdefined in the legend to boring logs, attached at the end of this report.Interpretation of the test results are also given in the legend.

6.3 Laboratory Testing

In order to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the ground materials, laboratorytests were performed on selected samples from the boreholes. The following tests were

performed according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard and British

Standard (BS) Standards, whichever is relevant:

1. ASTM D 2216-98, Standard Test Method for "Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture)

Content of Soil and Rock by Mass".2. ASTM D 4318-00, Standard Test Method for "Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index of

Soils".3. ASTM D 422-63 (1998), Standard Test Method for "Particle-Size Analysis of Soils".

4. B.S. 1377: Part 3: 1990, clause 5 "Determination of the Sulphate Content of Soil and GroundWater". Gravimetric method for acid extracts in which Hydrochloric acid was used.

5. B.S. 1377: Part 3: 1990, clause 7.3 "Determination of Acid-Soluble Chloride Content". Nitricacid was used.

6. B.S. 1377: Part 3: 1990, clause 9 "Determination Of The pH Value".The results of all laboratory tests are summarized in all laboratory tests results are presented in

Appendix C. The results of tests 1, 2 and 3 carried out on samples obtained from the boreholes

are summarized in Table No. C1. Tables No. C2a and C2b contain the chemical test results of thesoil samples (Tests 4, 5 and 6).

7.0 SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

7.1 Subsurface Materials

The description of the subsurface materials at the site and the approximate average depths (atwhich they were encountered in the borehole) and any further information about the encountered

materials can be obtained from the logs of boring, Appendix A.

The description of the subsurface materials at the site and their corresponding approximateaverage depths and any further information about the encountered materials can be obtained

from the logs of boring, Appendix A.

7.2 Materials Physical and Mechanical Properties

The field and laboratory tests results as well as the corresponding material classification for the

ground materials were presented in Table No. C1, Appendix C. The results obtained from the grainsize analysis were presented in Appendix C and plotted on Appendix C for the Borehole, and usedfor material classification according to Unified Classification System and AASHTO ClassificationSystem. The tables given in the legend to boring logs, Appendix A& Appendix C were used to

describe the relative densities of the soils.

7.3 Ground Water Cavities

During the drilling ground water was encountered in the borehole at a depth of -2.8m below theground level. The ground water levels are shown in Borehole logs. It should be mentioned that

the ground water level may be unstable and vary with time. Based on our experience, the groundwater table could be fluctuating.

No cavities were encountered in any of the boreholes to the drilled depths.

Note:

It should be noted that the borings show subsurface conditions at the locations, dates,and depths indicated and it is not warranted that they are strictly representative of thematerials and conditions at other locations, times, and greater depths than indicated.

If ground condition substantially differs with that given in this report during construction, re-

evaluation of recommendations would be necessary.

Foundation dynamic study was not included in the scope of our contract.
