At the time of foundation construction, this office shall be contacted to carry gut compaction or other tests if recommended in our report at_random locations selected by us in which case only a letter of confirmation can be issued for the Safe Bearing Pressure and foundation levels, 2. For more detailed notes on the limitations of these recommendations as well as guides to good engineering practice in foundation level preparation and construction, Appenaix-1 on plates 13 & 14 shall be referred. 3. The opinions and interpretations presented in this report are nol under the scope of Accreditation provided by M/s. DAC/EIAC. NDITIONS ‘The results of chemical analysis presented on plate 10 show class 3 sulfate conditions as per table 7(a, b &) of BS 5328 Part 1:1997, a copy of which is presented on plate 11 & 12. In view of severe climatic conditions in the gulf class 4 concitions shall be assumed for water cement ratio and cement content. Chloride content is high and therefore adequate precautions should be taken to avoid corrosion of steel reinforcement due to moisture movements and chloride ingress. However, as the chioride content in the above case is on the higher side, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is recommended instead of the Sulphate-Resisting Portland Cements (SRC) mentioned in the above specifications. Bitumen coating may be applied in addition to ascertaining that good quality dense concrete is made with careful supervision and good workmanship. Alternatively standard requirements of local municipality should be strictly followed, For more details about the cement type considering the different levels of chlorides and sulphates, Appendix-2 on plate 15 shall be referred, which has taken into consideration the recommendations given in CIRIA Special publication 31 (CIRIA Guide to Concrete Construction in the Gulf Region), BRE Digest as well as BS 5328 Part1: 1997.

The information received from the limited number and the stipulated diameter of boreholes may rot represent the entire site and may not reveal all the weak layers or conditions especially when they are localized. Hence no responsibilities can be born for conditions not revealed by boreholes or trial pits made on the site. In case of any such findings we shall be contacted immediately to arrange a site visit by our engineer to make an on site study of such conditions, afler whicn recommendations iit is deemed necessary will be revised 2) There are many methods to calculate the allowable bearing pressures of the soil and there are considerable variations in the values obtained by different methods and hence it is practically impossibie to fix a single value for a particular site for a given breadth and type of Foundations even after considering the same magnituda for factor of safoty. This is because of the many uncertainties in determining the allowable bearing pressure values. Most of Uncertainty components are coming from the complex behavior of the soi, limited investigation of the subsurface conditions, changing environmental concitions in the site, etc. Based on our experience we may be assigning different values for factor of safety for diferent areas in UAE and this will be 2 minimum of 3.0 for shallow foundations and 2.8 for piled Foundations, 3) The ground water table reported is expected to vary subject to seasonal variations or any Sewatering process in the vicinity. Hence it is advisable to install 2 standpipe Piezometer and ‘monitor the ground water table at regular intervals until it was established that the water level in borehole had reached equilibrium. At the time of construction it shall be made sure that the ‘excavation levels for foundations are at least 0.3m above the ground water table so that compaction process at the excavated level can bs properly carried out to the required degree mentioned in our repert.

RECOMMENDED CEMENT TYPES In practice, the use of proper cement type in the foundation should take into consideration the sulphate and chloride contents encountered. However, one of the usual reasons for using other than Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is to reduce the effects of chemical attack on the concrete, Since the following concepts play a crucial role in cement reactions, itis felt necessary to explain them with respect to CIRIA special publication 31 (CIRIA Guide to Concrete Construction in the Guif Region), + Tricaicium Aluminate (C2A) is the component of the cement, which reacts with sulphates and expands. CA (with high content) reacts with Sulphates and causes undesirable expansion in concroto, while it reacts with Chloride to avoid the expected chloride attack on reinforcement + Thus, Sulphate-Resisting Portland Cement (SRC) contains less CsA than OPC to reduce the effect of the reaction between CsA and Sulphate, However, CsA can also combine with chiorides, which might otherwise cause reinforcement to rust, and current research {grounds increasing concein that where sulphates and chlorides occur together, the use of Sulphate-resisting cement may be inadvisable. Sulphate-resisting cements co not make conerete immune from Sulphate attack, but only make it better able to withstand moderate concentrations of sulphates. Based on the above, CIRIA has concluded that the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is saferin case of + Higher contants of both sulphates and chlorides are occurring together so as to satiety balance In aforementioned behaviors = Higher contents of chlorides and lower contents of sulphates are available, Admixtures are preferable also to be used here to avoid or decrease the possibilty of chlorides (with high contents) attacking the reinforcement Otherwise, itis recommended that the use of Sulphate-Resisting Portland Cements (SRC) is safe when ‘+ Lower contents of both sulphates and chlorides are occurring together. = Higher contents of sulphate and lower contents of chlorides are present. 2) ACCEPETANCE LIMITS OF CHLORIDES & SULPHATES = Chiorides: As per 88-3148: 1980; Recommended limiting values for total chloride (presence of chiorides in the mixing water or other sources in concrete) by weight of Cement in different types of concrete are included in 6.3.8 of CP 110: Part 1: 1972, As a guide, the chloride content of the water should generally not exceed 500 mg of chloride per litre (ie. 0.8 gf). + Sulphates: As por 8S:3148: 1980; A general guide to the acceptability of sulphates in ‘mixing water is that the sulphate content should not be exceed 1000mg of sulphur trioxide per litre (i.e. 1.0 g/l) BRE Digest 250 and CP 110 grade soils and groundwater in five levels of sulphate concentration: 0.2% total sulphate or 1.0 gil in 2:1 soll water extract is considered significant, Posi26203 PLATE: 15 POBox 62456209 Ras A\Khorind2 Dabal@ 9714 552 2666 +0714 692 2066%) infoapianesrcabaet wnnipioneereaboratoy.com® @ winvpioneersaboratrycom i infoapionsersiabae GAVVEMYAN GAVE Oya deal saul BWW oe llR ie Runny Peet Foto owATEMACTeTMOLC —LP-aLNalpogayUarAy “A?
