EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fugro Iraq (FIQ), operating as a subsidiary of Fugro Middle East BV, has been contracted by SEAN Engineering
and Construction Co., Ltd. (Client) to conduct a geotechnical investigation and engineering analysis along the
proposed route of a 33 kV transmission line from the central processing facility (CPF) to Badra City and Permanent
Camp, Iraq. Client agreement with FIQ is under the contract GB090-2614-299-CV-MR-0001 dated 24/02/2015.
This report presents all the results from the field work undertaken for the above mentioned project, comprising
15 no. boreholes to a depth of 10m below ground level (bgl), 25 no. electric piezo-cone penetration tests (CPTu),
10 no. trial pits and all associated laboratory testing.
This report also presents the interpreted soil conditions at the site, the selected soil design parameters and the
associated engineering assessments as listed below.
The subsurface conditions and the soils encountered in the current site are discussed in detail in section 5 of this
report.
Considering the working loads provided by Client, shallow foundations are deemed to be suitable. However, deep
foundations may be used for design where structural loads cannot be supported by shallow foundations, or where
other factors limit the use of shallow foundations. For instance, should shallow foundations be insufficient to
support the uplift loads or if ground conditions different to those anticipated are found (e.g. soft soils from ground
level, fill, organic soils), piles may be considered to safely transfer the imposed structural loads to deeper strata.
Due to limitations in terms of drivability in the soil profile for driven piles, bored cast in-place piles capacities are
evaluated. Analyses of the axial load capacity (under both compression and tension), and lateral load capacity of
bored piles of 300 mm diameter were carried out. Structural analysis and design of the piles and pile cap, as well
as reinforcement details, is not included in the scope of works.
All engineering assessment and recommendations are given in Section 9 and Section 10 of the report.

2. SITE CONDITIONS
Flood Plain:
A flood plain is land built up by sedimentation on either side of a watercourse. During floods, flood plains
may contain water carrying suspended silt and clay; when the flood waters recede these fine-grained
sediments are left behind as a horizontal deposit on the flood plain.
A river has one flood plain and may have one or more terraces representing abandoned flood plains.
Sandy and clayey sediment deposited by river water that was spread out over a flood plain; a deposit
beneath and forming a flood plain, being thickest near the river and thinning out toward the valley slopes.
Many features are associated with flood plains including old meander channels, oxbow lakes, natural
levees, point bars, crevasse splays and various levels of terracing, (Way, 1983).
Fatha Formation:
The Fatha Formation is of middle Miocene age and is one of the most widespread and important
formations in Iraq.
The sub-cycle marked by calcareous conglomeratic sedimentation at its beginning and then by
calcareous evaporate sedimentation. Lithologicaly the main character of Fatha Formation is the
prevalent evaporate (sulphatic and halogenous) facies.
In general, this formation consists of cyclic deposits of red claystone, marl, gypsum and occasional
interbeds of limestone and sandstone. The red claystone and sandstones dominated the other facies.
2.2 Topography
The as-built coordinates and elevations were determined by the FIQ survey team using DGPS and are
referenced to WGS84, UTM Zone 38N and EGM (2008) vertical datum respectively. The
as-built coordinates and elevations are shown on the individual geotechnical logs (Appendix A) and in
Table 3.1.
The system of positioning using GPS was the Leica RTK system. It uses a base set up over a known
point which sends corrections to a rover unit on a pole (within 10km max). This achieves an accuracy of
+/- 20mm relative to the known point.
Based on the topographic survey, the existing ground level slopes upwards from +41.9 EGM (2008) to
+65.3 EGM (2008) from south to north (Badra-CPF) and slopes downwards from +82.3 EGM (2008) to
+54.9 EGM (2008) from east to west (branch route).
Further details and cross-sections regarding the topographic and surface conditions are given in the
Fugro Survey Report, 33kV Overhead Transmission Line, Badra, Iraq (Fugro Ref: 14-011-IQ-GB090-
SR001, dated 2016).
From north to south along the main route, the topography was generally smooth. This smooth surface
comprises Fatha Formation deposits. Conversely, the topography was found steeper in the vicinity of
the Badra River in the north, and also along the branch route where old channels and quarry works are
present. These two areas comprise flood plain deposits.

Note:
(*) Seismicity and hydrogeological studies were beyond the scope of this report. However, apart from the
Badra river area, a rise of the groundwater to flood the study area is unlikely to occur where the groundwater
was measured at 7m or deeper.
3. FIELD WORK
3.1 General
Fieldwork commenced on 21st August to 4th September 2016. Locations of investigated points along with
as-built coordinates are shown in Table 3.1 and on Plate I2 - Field tests location plan.
All works were performed by experienced Fugro geotechnical personnel, under the regular supervision
of a suitably experienced geotechnical engineer. All soil samples collected from the boreholes and trial
pits were transported to Fugro laboratory in Basra for detailed logging and sample processing.
Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing to assist with sample descriptions and
determination of engineering material properties.
Suitably qualified drillers and geologists performed the drilling and logging respectively with assistance
from the experienced FIQ team. On completion of the fieldwork the samples were transported to the
Fugro Laboratory in Basra where laboratory testing on selected samples was undertaken as discussed
in Section 5.
The boreholes were undertaken in a way which allowed for a continuous description of the soil profile
and enabled a proper recovery of high quality disturbed samples, execution of standard penetrometer
tests (SPT) and hammer sampling at the depths required by project specifications. A guar gum water
mixture was used for drilling support and flushing.
SPTs were undertaken in soil layers to estimate the relative densities of sand soils and obtain disturbed
samples for classification and testing purposes. The SPT works were performed in general accordance
with ASTM D 1586. Borehole logs are made with reference to the ASTM D 2487. The test involves
driving a 50mm external diameter thick walled tube (split spoon sampler) into the bottom of the borehole
with successive blows of a 63.5kg hammer falling freely through 760mm. The sampler is driven through
6 intervals of 75mm and the number of blows required to penetrate each interval is recorded. The initial
150mm interval is intended to ensure seating of the sampler such that it penetrates beyond the zone
of influence of any soil disturbance at the base of the borehole. The aggregate number of blows to drive
the sampler over the final 300mm is termed the N value, and is considered indicative of the in-situ
relative soil density.
Disturbed SPT samples (S), hammer samples (H), undisturbed samples (UD) collected during drilling
were retained in sealed, labelled plastic bags.
SPT samples were classified and logged in the field. Samples collected from SPTs were preserved in
watertight plastic jars and/or wrapped in watertight plastic and labelled with the following information:
project name, project number, sample number, sampling type, sampling date, sampling borehole,
sampling depth and length of recovery in order to be used for further soil classification and testing
purposes.
Soil samples were acquired using a thin walled Shelby tube sampler with an OD of 75 mm, an
inside diameter of 72 mm and length of approximately 0.7 m.
Normally in soft cohesive soils, undisturbed sampling takes precedence, followed by SPT. Before an
undisturbed sample is taken, the bottom of the hole was cleared of loose material and where a casing
was used the sample was taken below the bottom of the casing.
Recovered samples were properly handled, packaged, stored and transported in such a manner
to prevent any sealant from entering any voids in the sample;
Each soil sample was placed in an appropriately marked separate airtight container immediately
after being withdrawn from the hole in order to preserve natural moisture content of the soil;
Shelby tubes containing cohesive material were processed and handled as follows:
disturbed soil at each end of the tube was removed and the length of the sample in the tube
was measured;
undisturbed soil at the bottom of the cohesive samples is tested with Pocket Penetrometer
and Torvane;
cohesive samples were transported to the laboratory in the Shelby tubes. After removal from
the borehole, the ends of the tubes were waxed using micro crystalline or paraffin wax at both
end of the sampler/tube to avoid moisture loss during storage and transport of samples to
the laboratory. The internal wall of the tube was cleaned and a circular plastic sheet was
placed over the soil sample before waxing. Any space left between the end of the tube and
the top of the wax was tightly packed with sawdust or other suitable material, and a close
fitting lid or screw cap was placed on each end of the tube;
Preserved extruded samples, tubes, and rings containing samples were labelled to show date,
boring number, sample number, the depth from which the sample is taken, direction of sample top
and length of recovery;
Suitable core boxes were provided for safe shipment of samples back to the laboratory.
The trial pit samples were labelled with project name, project number, trial pit number, method of
excavation, equipment, co-ordinates, elevation, dates commenced and completed, soil sample type,
numbers and depths.
The trial pit logs are presented in Appendix A. Trial pit photographs are presented in Appendix B.
The tests were undertaken in accordance with ASTM D5778, using a 20 ton, hydraulic powered, lorry
mounted, Fugro cone penetrometer. Testing was carried out at a continuous penetration rate of
20mm/second, using a 200kN capacity Fugro electrical piezo cone equipped with pressure sensors and
pore pressure element behind the cone with a projected area of 15cm2, an apex angle of 60 and a
friction sleeve area of 200cm2.
The cone contains electrical load transducers measuring the cone tip resistance, sleeve friction, friction
ratio, inclination and pore pressure. Readings were taken continuously via an electric cable in the cone
rods. During the test, the data were displayed on a computer screen and continuously recorded to a hard
drive for later processing at the office.
The results from laboratory tests have been used to confirm the visual classification of soil undertaken
during site logging. The entire laboratory testing programme was undertaken according to laboratory
testing schedules prepared by Fugro and approved by the Client prior to testing.

5.2 Groundwater
Groundwater levels were taken only from boreholes during drilling as piezometers were not installed.
The water levels were observed before the start of drilling activities or during drilling activities and at the
end of each day.
The groundwater measured in boreholes might provide useful information. However, the boreholes may
not have been open long enough to obtain equilibrium groundwater levels. For the ground models
elaboration (Section 7 and Plate I25 to I41), the groundwater levels were estimated from both boreholes
and CPT pore pressure u2 readings. All groundwater levels are considered static; no artesian pressures
were encountered.
Groundwater levels can show variation with seasonal influences. In addition, groundwater levels are
likely to adjust following construction. A study of hydrogeological conditions is beyond the scope of this
report.
6. SITE CHARACTERISATION
6.1 Introduction
A number of physical properties of soil are required for engineering analysis. These are discussed below
in the text and presented on plates.
When plotted on a chart of LL versus PI, the test data help to distinguish between clay and silt soils, as
shown on Plate I13. The results showed the values lie above the A-Line, indicating clay of low (CL) to
intermediate plasticity (CI).
6.3.3 pH Values
The variation of pH with depth is shown on Plate I14. The pH values fall within a narrow range from 8.1
to 9.0. The soil can be classified as moderately alkaline to strongly alkaline according to the Soil Survey
Manual (1993).
The calcareous clay material encountered is known as marl. Marls are composed mainly of clay minerals
and carbonate in varying proportions, normally between 35% and 65% (Bellair and Pormerol, 1980).
Due to their high carbonate content, the clays are cemented to various degrees to form deposits ranging
from slightly to moderately cemented.
The undrained shear strength estimated from CPTs is defined as cu = (qc - v0) / Nk, where Nk is an
empirical cone factor and v0 is the total in situ vertical stress. The Nk factor is generally between 10 and
20 for most clays.
The undrained shear strength values can also be estimated from SPT N-values based on the correlation
provided by Terzaghi et al (1996). Table 6.1 provides the correlation between undrained shear strength
and SPT N-values.
The carbonate content will have a definite beneficial effect on shear strength in case of calcareous to
carbonate clays (Agarwal et al. 1977,). It is however difficult to find a good agreement between the
undrained shear strength profiles obtained from CPT data and available cu results obtained from
laboratory triaxial tests. The cu values from CPT are generally overestimated due to the induced
cementation. Conversely, carbonate soils are particularly prone to sample disturbance, therefore
laboratory samples are often unrepresentative of the in situ condition and cu values underestimated.
Representative undrained shear strength values for each soil type considered in our engineering
assessment are given in Tables 7.1 to 7.17. The undrained shear strength values from laboratory tests
are shown on Plate I18.
Demars et al. performed CU tri-axial tests on calcareous clays with high carbonate content ranging from
10% to 90% and observed an increase in angle of internal friction with the increase in carbonate content.
The effective friction angle was also estimated from qc following a correlation proposed by Mayne (2001)
for clays. The interpreted from CPT data were significantly higher than those derived from DS tests.
The low value of is due to sampling disturbance or due to sample preparation of the specimens, since
the in situ cementation cannot be expected to be replicated by samples re-constituted in the laboratory.
The peak friction angle values for each soil type considered in our design are given in Tables 7.1 to 7.17
and the friction angle and cohesion results from the laboratory direct shear test are shown on Plates I19
and I20.
6.6.1 Introduction
This section describes the compaction properties of soil samples from the trial pits. The compaction tests
were performed to determine the relationship between moisture content and dry density.
The compaction tests were performed using the Proctor test described in ASTM D 1557-2012 where the
test is performed using a 4.5kg mass rammer. Two specimens were compacted in the Proctor mould to
determine the relationship between moisture content and density for each soil sample. The optimum
moisture content (OMC) that gives the maximum dry density (MDD) could then be determined for each
soil sample.
PI
Activity
% by weight finer than 5 m
Skempton (1953) also shows that a particular clay mineral has a specific Activity. For example,
Montmorillonite has an Activity from 4 to 7. The Activity was used to assess the composition of clay and
possible swelling potential.
The range of PI and percentage of clay fraction measured on the clay materials at the site corresponds
with the kaolinite to illite clay minerals having Activity of 0.4 and 0.9, respectively. Plate I23 presents the
plot of plasticity index versus clay fraction. Table 6.3 presents the summary of clay Activity:
Based on the Seed et al. (1962) classification, most of the clay encountered may be classified as low to
medium potential for swelling as shown on Plate I24. Very few locations showed high swelling potential
clays.
Mitchell and Soga (2005) suggest that the classification based on Seed et al. (1962) should only be used
for preliminary guidance. As only the swelling soil in the near-surface would impact above ground
structures, no swell test was performed on deeper clay.

Liquid Limit
Index (%) Classification
< 50 < 25 < 0.5 Low
50 60 25 35 0.5 1.5 Medium
> 60 > 35 > 1.5 High
Values for each of these parameters on clay samples are given in Table 6.5 below:
According to Table 6.5, the swelling potential of clays encountered is classified as low risk and falls within
the classification based on Seed et al. (1962).
Values were estimated based on equations and value ranges for selected soils (Bowels J. E., Fifth
Edition, Table 2.8 and 5-6). Elastic behaviour was considered in both granular soils and calcareous
clays.
Each ground model comprises at least one test location (BH, CPT and TP) which is considered
representative of the average ground conditions of the section.
The geotechnical parameters used as the basis for geotechnical design are summarized below in
Table 7.1 to 7.17, respectively Ground Model 1 to Ground model 17.

8.3.1 Summary
As presented in Section 7, the proposed route has been divided into 17 ground models based on the
soil condition variability. Each ground model comprises at least one test location (BH, CPT and TP). To
simplify the foundation recommendations and reduce the number of design analyses, it has been
decided to classify the ground condition into different soil categories (Soil Types). The classification
criteria are based on both the soil condition and its capability of carrying the loads in terms of bearing
capacity.
Notes:
(*) All ground models are defined in Section 7.
The geographical distribution of each Soil Type and field test locations are presented on Plate I2.
9. FOUNDATION RECOMMANDATIONS
Net allowable bearing capacity is calculated for square footings of various widths (B=1.5m, B=2.5 and
B=3.5m), at a constant embedment depth of D=2.5m from the actual ground level.
These factors are incorporated into the general bearing capacity formula following Terzaghis basic
format as follows:
Where,
- Nc, Nq, N = bearing capacity factors
- sc, sq, s = shape factors
- dc, dq, d = depth factors
- ic, iq, i = load inclination factors =1
- bc, bq, b = base inclination factors =1
- gc, gq, g = ground inclination factors =1
The net safe bearing capacity (qnet) based on the shear failure criteria is determined by:
( qult ' D )
q net
F .S
Where,
- qnet = net safe bearing capacity (kPa)
- qult = ultimate bearing capacity (kPa)
- 'D = effective overburden pressure (kPa)
- F.S. = factor of safety = 3.0
The immediate settlement under foundations has been based on the Boussinesq method as per the
following equation (5-16a Bowles 1997):
(1 2 D)
S i q0 B m I S I F
E
Where,
- q0 = net applied pressure on top of layer (based on Boussinesq Theory)
- = Poissons ratio of the soil (generic value of 0.33 considered)
- B = width of foundation
- E = elastic modulus of the soil under the foundation
- IF = foundation depth factor
- IS = foundation shape factor

Notes:

2. B - Width of foundation
3. D - Foundation depth
The allowable bearing pressure has been limited to a maximum of 500kPa (Bowles 5th edition, 1997).
Applied loads should not exceed the permissible stresses of the foundation concrete itself.

Notes:
(*) Friction factor = tan( = friction angle of soil beneath the foundation (NAVFAC DM7-02)
Values of angle of repose are considered representative should the Soil Types defined in Table 8.2 are
used as backfill and compacted as per the recommendations discussed in Section 11 (90 % of maximum
dry density defined by BS 1377: Part 4).
For the values of interface friction factor, a pedestal embedment of D=2.5m is considered. Values are
considered representative for an interface of mass concrete over the nature of soil defined in each
Soil Type.
Due to restrictions in terms of drivability in the soil profile for driven piles, bored cast in-place piles
capacities are evaluated in this section. Analyses of the axial load capacity (under both compression
and tension), and lateral load capacity of bored piles of 300 mm diameter were carried out. Structural
analysis and design of the piles and pile cap, as well as reinforcement details, is not included in the
scope of works.
A single pile capacity analysis is undertaken. This allows an estimation of the number of piles required
beneath lattice towers to satisfy the working loads.
All ground profiles and geotechnical parameters used for the pile design are presented in Section 7. On
the same principle as for shallow foundation analysis, a pile capacity analysis is presented for each soil
category (Soil Types A, B, C and D), as defined in Section 8.3.
Design Basis
This section presents the axial and lateral capacity calculations for a single bored pile, 300 mm diameter,
for each soil condition (Soil Types A, B, C and D), as defined in Section 8.3.
Axial pile capacity was calculated using ALLPILE v7 software. Vertical analysis is based on the approach
and methods recommended in NAVY DM-7 (NAVFAC) manuals. For lateral analysis, ALLPILE software
directly uses COM624S calculation methods, with reference to FHWA-SA-91-048 using Wang and
Reese (1993) calculation methods.
i. Single pile;
ii. Bored cast in-situ pile 300 mm diameter;
iii. Pile top cut-off level (bottom of pile cap) is assumed at the existing ground level;
A uniform pile cap beneath the tower is recommended as per below justification:
i. The pile cap will relieve some of the load on the piles. This would increase the overall bearing
capacity. The pile relief is not considered in the current design, as a conservative approach;
ii. The pile cap will act beneficially by transferring wind loads to the soil, and thus reduce loading on
piles during tower rocking;
iii. The self-weight of the pile cap must be considered for the design of the foundation. It will bring a
non-negligible load to counteract the uplift working loads. As an example, for a leg to leg distance
within 2m (Dead-End 12M and DS Branch DB-14M), the area of the pile cap will be approximately
3 x 3 m = 9 m2. Assuming a height of the cap of 0.5 m and the weight of reinforced concrete
24 kN/m3, a crude calculation of the additional vertical load would be 9*0.5*24 100 kN.
As an indication, estimated allowable loads in compression and tension are presented in Table 9.3 and
9.4, respectively, for a single bored pile with various penetration length:

1. All loads are for single pile.
2. Global safety factor of 2 applied.
At the pile termination depth it must be ensured that appropriate bottom cleaning techniques are adopted
by piling contractor. It is also important to ensure that there is continuity of the bearing strata at least 3
to 4 diameters below the end bearing depth.
Table 9.4: Allowable Load in Tension of a Single Cast In-Situ Bored Pile
Table 9.5: Pile Head Settlement in Compression under Vertical Allowable Capacity
The axial pile head load-displacement curves in compression are shown on Plates 46 to 62. No safety
factor was applied in the analysis of pile settlement. For all piles analysed, settlements are of the order
of 2 mm (Soil Type B) to 8 mm (Soil Type D) which is considered acceptable.
Design Basis
This section presents the analysis for lateral load-displacement behaviour. ALLPILE software directly
uses COM624S calculation methods for lateral analysis, with reference to FHWA-SA-91-048 using Wang
and Reese, 1993 calculation methods.
In cohesive material, the main parameters for lateral pile design are the undrained shear strength (Cu)
and the strain at 50 % of the maximum stress measured in triaxial tests (50). The selection of the design
values for 50 follows recommendations by Matlock (1970) and is in the range 0.5 % to 2 %.
In frictional soil, the main parameters for lateral pile design are the effective friction angle () and the
rate of increase with depth of the initial modulus of subgrade reaction (k). These were selected following
ONeill and Murchison (1983) recommendations.
The parameter values used for the analysis of lateral pile load-displacement behaviour are presented on
Plates 63 to 79.
The corresponding lateral load that results in a bending moment of 80kN-m at the pile head is given in
Table 9.6 for each Soil Type. A fixed pile head condition is assumed.
Table 9.6: Lateral Force and Maximum Bending Moment Fixed Head Condition
The corresponding lateral loads have been verified as not generating a pile head deflection of more than
12 mm (maximum allowable pile head deflection).
Conclusion
Given the results for a single pile capacity analysis for each Soil Type (axial and lateral capacity), the
following points indicate possible foundation options.
For Soil Type A, B and C, a total of 4 piles beneath each pile cap would be sufficient to support the
working loads of all tower type. Considering the higher loads from DS Branch DB-14M (worst case
scenario), each pile will support a load of 794 kN / 4 200 kN in compression, and 763 kN / 4 190 kN
in tension, which is in the range of the allowable loads provided in Tables 9.3 and 9.4.
Soil Type D shows limited resistance in tension (60 to 110 kN for the considered piles length). The
preliminary analysis indicates that a total of 6 piles beneath the pile cap would be necessary to support
the maximum up-lift loads.
Structural analysis and design of the piles and pile cap, as well as relevant reinforcement, is not included
in the scope of works. It is considered that the technical information provided in this report will be
sufficient in order to proceed with the structural analysis and design of the piles and pile cap.
depends on several factors including number of piles in the group, pile diameter and penetration,
spacing, etc. It is recommended to maintain a minimum center-to-center spacing (d) above 3D to reduce
substantial axial group effects. In the case of pile group effects are negligible, each pile will behave
individually, and the pile group capacity can be been taken as the sum of individual pile capacities.
The current study area is located close to Badra-Amarah fault. This fault is located in the north-eastern
borders of the Mesopotamian zone at the Iraq-Iran border. The length of the fault is about 500 km. This
fault is seismically active with earthquakes of magnitudes of 5.5 and focal depths of 33 km. About 30
focal mechanism solutions for this fault were calculated by the Harvard CMT for the time period from
1980 to 2012. The focal mechanism solutions show that the Badra-Amarah fault is a reverse fault with
strike direction equal to 310, dip direction equal to 220 and dip angle equal to 53.
i. Chloride content measured in the soil showed values up to 0.2% (Plate I9). More than half of the
samples tested showed values higher than 0.05%.
ii. Sulphate content measured in the soil showed values ranging from 1.0g/L to 2.5 g/L with few
reading higher than 2.0g/L (Plate I10);
CIRIA (2002) Special Publication 31 currently in use for reinforced concrete practice in the Gulf region
indicates that 0.2% or 2.0g/L total sulphate is considered significant. There is no widely accepted view
on the concentration at which chlorides become significant in soil or groundwater, but limited experience
in the Gulf region suggests it may be as low as 0.05% (CIRIA, 2002).
In general, the following methods can be used to protect steel from corrosion:
i. Passive barrier protection by coating steel with a protective coating system such as epoxy coating
and chlorinated rubber films;
ii. Active protection by applying a primer containing a reactive chemical compound such as zinc
phosphate directly to the steel;
iii. Sacrificial protection (cathodic or galvanic protection) such as zinc or metallic coatings, electro-
coatings and organic coatings such as paints.
For buried steel without provided passive or active protection, the design of steel wall thickness must
consider a corrosion allowance throughout the design life. A minimum corrosion allowance of
0.015 mm/year of wall thickness for a design life of 100 years is advised as per BS 8002. This minimum
corrosion allowance is within the range quoted by BS 8004 (1986) and consistent with the corrosion
rates derived from Eurocode 3.
Sulphate Corrosion
The following conditions must be present for sulphate corrosion of concrete:
i. A source of sulphates;
iii. Calcium hydroxide and calcium aluminate hydrate in the cement matrix.
Cracking of concrete together with white crystalline accumulations are characteristic for the conventional
form of sulphate corrosion. Depending on the percentage soluble SO4 in the soil or groundwater, various
categories of sulphate exposure are usually defined, which governs the cement type required following
Building Research Establishment (BRE, 2001) guidance.
The sulphate concentration found in the soil extract indicates that the environment would be classified
according to BS 8500-1 (2006), as follows:
ii. Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) Class [Table A.2] = AC-3
Limiting values of composition and properties for concrete as recommended in Table A.11 of
BS 8500-1 (2006) for DC-3 class may be used.
Chloride Corrosion
Chlorides originating in the ground can lead to degradation of concrete due to a physical mechanism
involving crystallisation of chloride salts near to the surface of the concrete. This is known as salt
weathering. Crystallisation of chlorides in pores may generate expansive stresses that could rupture the
concrete. Whenever there are chlorides in concrete containing embedded metal there is an increased
risk of corrosion of the metal. The presence of high concentrations of chlorides may also adversely affect
the sulphate resistance of concrete.
Where the ground is considered to have significant chloride and sulphate contents in soils, the exposure
condition is then classified as d(iv) for identifying concrete criteria as per CIRIA (2002), as shown in
Table 10.1.
In accordance with BS 8500-1 (2006), given recommendations have to be compared for resistance to
chloride-induced corrosion and/or chemical attack (ex. sulphate), and the most onerous values
(ex. highest nominal cover, lowest w/c ratio, higher concrete compressive strength requirement) have to
be selected.
11. EARTHWORKS
General considerations for the design and construction of earthworks are described below.
It is unlikely that deep excavations take place for shallow foundations. Therefore slopes with a gradient
1.5(H):1.0(V) can easily apply to cuts with depth less than 1.5m.
If the above mentioned slope gradient cannot be achieved, such as for deeper excavations and when
sufficient space is not available, a suitable shoring (supporting) system, such as sheet pile among others,
is required.
i. The material should be placed in horizontal layers with uniform density and close to the optimum
moisture content (within +/- 3%);
ii. It is recommended to not exceed a maximum layer thickness sequences of 300mm;
iii. The material should be compacted to 90 % of maximum dry density defined by BS 1377: Part 4.
If well graded SAND and GRAVEL are present in the flood plain area (e.g. along the branch route in the
quarries area, from BH-11 to BH-15), it should be noted these materials were encountered at depths
unlikely to be excavated (top of such layers was generally found 2m bgl).
Along the Badra River (BH-06 to BH-10) the groundwater level was observed around 3.5m bgl. A sump
and pump system may be necessary to remove ingress water and keep dry the excavation in times of
heavy rainfalls.
Changes brought about to site and its adjacent vicinities due to construction, manmade or natural events,
proceeding the time of study are not within the scope of this report, neither is contradictory subsurface
conditions observed at later stages. Should this occur, Fugro Middle East should be notified immediately
to discuss with the client the necessity of re-evaluating the information reported herein.

GEOTECHNICAL DRAFT REPORT, 33KV OHTL, BADRA, IRAQ
APPENDIX D
INTRODUCTION
Fugro Engineers B.V. (FEBV) prepared this report. FEBV is a Fugro N.V. Group operating company. FEBV
specialises in providing geotechnical information and engineering advice for on-land, nearshore and offshore
construction projects. FEBV will hereafter be referred to as Fugro.
This document provides guidelines, recommendations and limitations regarding the use of information in this
report. The cost of geotechnical data acquisition, interpretation and monitoring is a small portion of the total
cost of a construction project. By contrast, the costs of correcting a wrongly designed programme or
mobilising alternative construction methods are often far greater than the cost of the original investigation.
Attention and adherence to the guidelines and recommendations presented in this guide and in the
geotechnical report can reduce delays and cost overruns related to geotechnical factors.
This guide applies equally to the use of geotechnical and multi-disciplinary project information and advice.
Fugro follows ISO 9001 quality principles for project management. Project activities usually comprise part of
specific phases of a construction project. The quality plan for the entire construction project must incorporate
geotechnical input in every phase - from the feasibility planning stages to project completion. The parties
involved must do the following.
Provide complete and accurate information necessary to plan an appropriate geotechnical site
investigation.
Describe the purpose(s), type(s) and construction methods of planned structures in detail.
Provide the time, financial, personnel and other resources necessary for the planning, execution and
follow-up of a site investigation programme.
Understand the limitations and degree of accuracy inherent in the geotechnical data and engineering
advice based upon these data.
During all design and construction activities, be aware of the limitations of geotechnical data and
geotechnical engineering analyses/advice, and use appropriate preventative measures.
Incorporate all geotechnical input in the design, planning, construction and other activities involving the
site and structures. Provide the entire geotechnical report to parties involved in design and
construction.
Use the geotechnical data and engineering advice for only the structures, site and activities which were
described to Fugro prior to and for the purpose of planning the geotechnical site investigation or
geotechnical engineering analysis programme.
To ensure compliance with these requirements, there must be adequate designation of authority and
accountability for geotechnical aspects of construction projects. This way, an appropriate investigation can be
performed, and the use of the results by project design and construction professionals can be optimised.
Figure 1 illustrates the importance of the initial project phases in ensuring that adequate geotechnical
information is gathered for a project. The initial phases, when site investigation requirements are defined and
Fugro 1996-2012
resources are allocated, are represented by more than 50% of the Quality triangle (Figure 1). Decisions and
actions made during these phases have a large impact of the outcome and thus the potential of the
investigation to meet project requirements.

THE REPORT
Geotechnical investigations are operations of discovery. Investigation should proceed in logical stages.
Planning must allow operational adjustments deemed necessary by newly available information. This
observational approach permits the development of a sound engineering strategy and reduces the risk of
discovering unexpected hazards during or after construction.

Management, Thomas Telford, London.

GUIDE FOR USE OF REPORT
investigation can reduce the residual risk associated with unforeseen conditions to a tolerable level. If ground
problems do arise, it is important to have geotechnical expertise available to help reduce and mitigate safety
and financial risks.
To prevent costly construction problems, construction contractors should have access to the best available
information. They should have access to the complete original report to prevent or minimize any
misinterpretation of site conditions and engineering advice (Halligan et al.1). To prevent errors or omissions
that could lead to misinterpretation, geotechnical logs and illustrations should not be redrawn, and users of
geotechnical engineering information and advice should confer with the authors when applying the report
information and/or recommendations.
Fugros investigative programmes and engineering assessments are designed and conducted specifically for
the Client described project and conditions. Thus this report presents data and/or recommendations for a
unique construction project. Project-specific factors for a structure include but are not limited to:
location
size and configuration of structure
type and purpose or use of structure
other facilities or structures in the area.
Any factor that changes subsequent to the preparation of this report may affect its applicability. A specialised
review of the impact of changes would be necessary. Fugro is not responsible for conditions which develop
after any factor in site investigation programming or report development changes.
For purposes or parties other than the original project or Client, the report may not be adequate and should
not be used.
Ground is complex and can be changed by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, floods, seabed scour
and groundwater fluctuations. Construction operations at or near the site can also change ground conditions.
This report considers conditions at the time of investigation. Construction decisions must consider any
ISSUE 08
changes in site conditions, regulatory provisions, technology or economic conditions subsequent to the
investigation. In general, two years after the report date, the information may be considered inaccurate or
unreliable. A specialist should be consulted regarding the adequacy of this geotechnical report for use after
any passage of time.
