2.0 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION

Based on the provided information received from the client, it is understood that the proposed
project will consist of several buildings with approximate foot print areas, number of floors
and finish floor levels (F.F.L) as indicated in the following table:

Table 1: Building Names, Number of Floors, Floor Areas and F.F.L.s

The site located on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea / J ordan. The site is boarded by an
existing paved road from the north-east, the Dead Sea from the south-west, the existing
"Holiday Inn" hotel from the north-west side and by unutilized plots from south-east side. The
site slopes down toward the Dead Sea direction with an average slope of about 10%. It is
crossed by deeply incised, steep sided and relatively wide wadi.

A general site plan showing the location of the project and both drilled boreholes and
excavated test pits is presented in Figure No. 1. Figure No.2 shows some of the project site
photos.

3.0 GENERAL GEOLOGY

Based on the geological map of the area (Al Karama 3153-IV), the project area belongs to
Lisan Formation of J ordan Valley Group of Quaternary Period and Pleistocene Epoch. This
formation consists predominantly of millimeter-to-centimeter-laminated, very weak, friable,
low density, white, calcareous mudstone with alternating white marl, greenish brown clay and
evaporates. In the water saturated state they behave as soft clays. Micro-faults and controlled
laminations are typical. This formation was formed in brackish water of the Lisan Lake which
occupied the Dead Sea basin during the Late Pleistocene.
Sandy gravel lenses are common within the Lisan Marl. The thickness of these lenses may
vary form few centimeters to more than one meter.

At the project site, the lisan Marl Materials are unconformably overlain by recent yellow soil
consist of yellow-brown to gray brown humus-rich silty clay to clayey silt and alluvial fan
(ALF) sediments composed of boulder, cobbles and gravel of sandstone and limestone in
clayey-silty sand matrix.

No faults or other special geological features were observed on the geological map or during
our site inspections. However, the site is structurally controlled by Red Sea-Dead Sea rift fault
system. Geological Map is present in Appendix E.

4.0 SEISMICITY AND EARTHQUAKES

According to the Jordanian seismic code (published by the ministry of public works and
housing in October 2005), the site lies within Zone (3), with a seismic zone factor of Z=0.30.
The formations are classified as (S
D
) type. The seismic factors related to the acceleration
Ca=0.36; whereas, the seismic factor related to the velocity C
V
=0.54. These factors should be
used in the design of the proposed project.

5.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING

5.1 Field Exploration:

The field exploration consisted of borehole drilling; test pits excavation and field density
testing.

5.1.1 Drilling and Sampling:

Twenty five (25) boreholes were drilled between February 5
th
and March 5
th
, 2012.
The boreholes were drilled to approximate depths ranging from 10 to 23m below the
existing ground level. The locations of these borings are indicated in Figure No. 1.
The borehole information is presented in Tables No. 2.

The locations of the boreholes were selected and marked in the field by the staff of
ACES. Table No. 2 shows the borings names, locations (coordinates), elevations,
F.F.L's, and exploration depths. The elevations at the top of boreholes were estimated
according to the topographic map provided by the client and should be considered
approximate. Samples were visually examined and described by ACES staff
according to ASTM D2488-09a.

The drilling was executed with "Edeco (36/1) rotary rig, mounted on Mercedes
truck 1417, capacity 400m " and "Toho 2P rotary rig, mounted on Mercedes truck
LK608, capacity 800m" using the rotary air flush percussion drilling technique .

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) was performed at various depths in the drilled
boreholes to obtain the approximate dynamic resistance of the ground materials. The
tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 1586-08a (Standard Test Method
for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils).

The SPT blow counts at different depths are presented on logs of borings (Appendix
A). The definition of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and useful SPT correlations are

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

presented in the legend of borings logs (also in Appendix A). Further discussion on
the results obtained from SPT is presented in Section 6.4.

Disturbed but representative soil samples were retrieved from inside the split spoon
samplers used in the SPT test. The recovered samples were placed in air-tight plastic
bags to maintain the moisture content.

Percussion (down-the-whole hammering) drilling techniques were used at other
intervals where no SPT sampling was performed.

5.1.2 Excavation of Test Pits:

Six (6) test pits were excavated between February 3
rd
and February 27
th
, 2012. The test
pits were excavated to a depth of 1m deep for recommendation of proposed culvert and
buildings where the drilling with rig was not possible due to accessibility. The
numbers, locations (coordinates) and depths of each test pit are listed in Table No. 3.
The locations of the excavated test pits are also shown on the site plan in Figure No. 1.
Test pit logs are presented in Appendix A while test pit photos are presented in
Appendix E.

Bulk samples were obtained from the test pits for laboratory testing (e.g., natural
moisture content, direct shear test, unconfined compressive test, sieve analysis and
Atterberg limits). The results of these tests are summarized in Table No. 8.

6.0 SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

6.1 Ground Materials:

From Boreholes

The drilled boreholes generally encountered the following materials:

Fill material composed of loose fine coarse grain sand and gravel and cobbles
of sandstone, limestone, chert and basalt with few asphalt and concrete
fragments. This material was encountered in all boreholes except : BH1, BH2,
BH3 and BH4. It extends from the surface level to an approximate depth
ranging from 0.5m to 6.0m below the existing ground surface.

Alluvial deposits composed of alternated to intercalated lenses of brownish
yellow gravely sand to sandy gravel with silty to marly clay. This material was
encountered at the surface of BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4 or below the fill
material of BH5 and BH6 and extended to depth ranging from 1.5m to 13.0m
below the existing ground surface.

Alluvial (wadi) material composed of varicolored gravel and cobbles of
sandstone, limestone, chert and basalt with coarse grained sand. This material
was encountered below the fill material in boreholes BH9, BH10, BH12, BH15,
BH16, BH18, BH19, BH20, BH22, BH24, BH25, BH26 and BH28 and
extended to depth ranging from 5.0m to 10.0m or to the end of this boreholes.

Grayish off white fine to medium grained sand alternated with thin silty sand
and some coarse sandy gravel. This material was encountered below the fill or
alluvial material in boreholes BH9, BH10, BH11, BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15,
BH18, BH22, BH25, BH26 and BH27 and extended to the end of these
boreholes.

Grayish yellow to greenish gray firm to stiff marly clay (lisan marl)
intercalated with white aragonite gravely sand. This material was encountered
below the alluvial or fill material in boreholes BH1, BH2,BH3, BH4, BH5,
BH6, BH7, BH18, BH20, BH24, BH27 and BH28 and extended to the end of
these boreholes.

Generalized subsurface profiles are presented in Appendix B. More information about the
encountered materials can be obtained from the logs of borings (Appendix A).

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

15 of 33
Note that the grain size analyses performed on the fill and alluvial materials in boreholes
are not representative of the formation as it was performed on the disturbed samples
obtained during drilling where all the gravels, cobbles and boulders were broken into
pieces. On the other hand, the grain size analyses performed on the materials from tests
pits are more representative.

From Test Pits

The encountered material in test pits TP1, TP3 and TP5 were Lisan marl materials
composed of soft to very stiff, thinly laminated bands of greenish gray clay and white
aragonite marl, with some fine grained sand lenses. The material encountered in test pit
TP2 and TP4 was grayish yellow highly weathered disintegrated clayey silt and TP6 was
Alluvial deposits composed of gravel and cobbles of sandstone, limestone and chert with
coarse grained sand and some silty sand.

More information about the encountered materials can be obtained from the logs of test
pits (Appendix A).

6.2 In-Situ Test Results:

The in-situ testing mainly composed of two types: SPT within the drilled borehole and
field density on the excavated test pits.

6.2.1 Standard Penetration Test (SPT):

Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed at various depths in the fill, alluvial
deposits, sand and lisan marl materials to obtain approximate dynamic resistance of
the ground materials. Several empirical correlations have been established to relate the
SPT blow count (N) with relative density and friction angle for granular materials.

Table No. 4 presents the SPT depth in each borehole, the materials at that depth, SPT
blow counts and the corresponding SPT N values. The definition of SPT and useful
SPT correlations for granular soils are presented in the legend to boring logs
(Appendix A). The SPT (N) value ranged: from 16 to refusal in fill materials; from 25
to refusal in the alluvial and sand materials and from 18 to refusal in lisan marl
materials. The measured blow counts (N) classify the alluvial, sandy and lisan marl
materials as " medium dense to very dense". However, the relatively high N value may
have resulted from the presence of gravel and cobbles within the soil matrix.

6.3 Groundwater and Cavities:

No free ground water or cavities were encountered in any of the boreholes to the drilled
depths during or after the completion of drilling activities. However, the surface hydrology
is outside the scope of this study.

6.4 Material Chemical Properties

6.4.1 Sulphate Content

Sulphate content (expressed as [SO
3
]) for the tested soil samples are shown in
Table No. 8.

Sulphate attack to concrete is well documented phenomena and is caused by the
presence of high sulphate content either by the ingress of the sulphate of the
surrounding environment, such as foundations soils, or by the presence of sulphate
in the concrete ingredients, such as sand or aggregate, or both.

The attack results in a considerable internal expansion which may lead to cracking
and disintegration of the concrete.

Based on the sulphate content present in the foundations soils; this site can be
classified within class 3 as categorized in BS 5328:Part 1 (see Appendix D). The
requirements of BS 5328:Part 1 for class (3) are to use ordinary portland cement,
sulphate resisting portland cement, or blast furnace portland cement or super
sulphated cement with minimum cement content of 320 and 340 kg/m3 and
maximum free water to cement ratio of 0.5 and 0.5, respectively.

Taking into consideration the characteristics of the proposed project, its function
and the presence of ground water, it is recommended that the overall site be treated
as class (3) which presents the severe conditions.

6.4.2 Chloride Content in Ground Materials

The chloride content for the tested soil samples are also presented in Table No. 8.

There is no widely accepted view on the concentration which chlorides become
significant in soil or ground water, but limited experience in the region suggests it
may be as low as 0.05%, particularly in situations where alternate wetting and
drying or capillary rise affect the concrete (CIRIA Guide, 1983).

As shown in Table No. 8, the chloride content in the tested soil samples is more
than 0.05% and is considered significant.

6.4.3 pH Value

Soil pH is one of the most common soil chemical measurements. It provides the
investigator with information about the solubility of various soil compounds, the
adsorption behavior of ions to soil surface and the microbial activity of soil
system. The measured pH values listed in Table No. 9 indicate that the tested
samples are alkaline, with values ranging from 8.18-8.82. These values are
considered not detrimental to steel.

6.4.4 Carbonate Content

Carbonate content in the tested samples is considered slightly high (i.e., more than
40%), which is normal due to the nature of alluvial material.

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

22 of 33
6.4.5 General Recommendations

Where resistance is needed against both sulphates and chlorides, it is highly
recommended to protect the concrete from the soil and groundwater with
waterproofing membrane or tanking, and a compromise has to be made on
the type of cement used. Generally, cement containing at least 3.5% but not more
than 9% C3A is preferred. Each situation should be considered on its merits.

It is advisable that the designer shall consult CIRIA Guide to Concrete
Construction in the Gulf Region, once the exposure conditions of the designed
structures are finally determined, in order to determine, more accurately, the
cement type (Figure 6 -Appendix D) and range of specifications limits
requirements for minimum cement content, maximum water cement ratio and
minimum cover for reinforcement (Table 13 Appendix D).

7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

According to the field and laboratory investigation, subsurface conditions, engineering
analysis and practical experience, we believe that the proposed project can be satisfactorily
supported by the ground at the site, provided that the following recommendations are
considered:

7.1 Foundation Depth and Type

Main Building (Block C).

Foundation of the Main building are to be constructed at an approximate elevation
of -407.0m and -403.0m. The investigation indicated that part of the main building site
(adjacent to Holiday Inn Hotel site) is covered by dumped fill reaching 6m in thickness.
Most of these fill materials will be removed to reach the design level of foundation.
However, if any dumped fill will remain below the design level, it should be either
completely removed or excavated to a minimum depth of 1.5m and replaced by selected
fill materials, as described herein later.

The investigation indicated that ground materials encountered at the expected foundation
level of the main building are alluvial deposits, lisan marl, and/or engineered fill
material (due to difference in elevations and especially, above the proposed culvert),
which are characterized by large variations in properties and strength parameters in both
vertical and horizontal extends. Therefore, foundations may be subjected to significant
differential settlement and differential movement may cause damage to the foundations
and structures. Accordingly, raft foundations are essential to support the 6-7 story main
building.

However, if the client chooses not to adopt this solution and assuming that occurrence of
some minor cracks (especially within the partition walls, in the plaster, in the interface
between different structural elements, along water and electrical installations, etc.) is
acceptable, the following alternative may be adopted.

a. Unify foundation ground by Excavating of minimum of 1.5m below foundation
levels

b. Backfill the over excavations with selected fill up to a height of 1.2m. The
selected fill shall be a soil or soil rock mixture, which is free from organic
matter or other deleterious substances. It shall not contain rocks or lumps over
15 cm in greatest dimension, and not more than 15 percent larger than 7 cm.

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

24 of 33
The fine materials (passing sieve 200) shall not exceed 35 percent (materials
classified as A-1-a, A1-b and/or A-2-4 according to AASHTO Classification
are considered suitable for this purpose). Selected fill shall be spread in lifts
not exceeding 20 cm in uncompacted thickness, moisture conditioned to its
optimum moisture content, and compacted to a dry density not less than 95 %
of the maximum dry density as obtained by modified proctor compaction test
(ASTM D 1557).

c. The remaining top 30cm of the over excavation shall be backfilled either with
cyclopean concrete (plain concrete with approximately 40% stones) or with
engineered fill.
If engineered fill is used, it should be spread into two lifts and each lift shall be
compacted to a dry density not less than 97 percent of the maximum density as
obtained by modified proctor compaction test (ASTM D 1557-09). The
plasticity index for the base course material shall not be more than 6 percent. It
shall be composed of graded crushed stone satisfying all the requirements of
base course materials according to the Standard Specifications for the
Construction of Roads and Bridges, Ministry of Public Works, Jordan.
d. Foundations system with sufficient rigidity (i.e, strip foundation and/or isolated
footing with tie beam constructed at foundation level) can be erected on the
foundation ground prepared as described above.

e. Foundations constructed as described herein shall be designed using a net
allowable bearing pressure value of 1.5 kg/cm
2
.

Building A

Foundation of the building A are to be constructed at an approximate elevation of -
410.5m. Ground materials encountered at the above elevation are alluvial deposits,
and/or fill material. These deposits are characterized by large variations in properties
and strength parameters in both vertical and horizontal extends. Therefore, foundations
may be subjected to significant differential settlement and differential movement may
cause damage to the foundations and structures. Accordingly, shallow foundations
system with sufficient rigidity is recommended to support the two (2) story building. In
order to enhance the rigidity of the foundation systems, foundations shall be tied
together with ground tie beams constructed at the foundation level.

Differential settlement may also be reduced by reduction of the transmitted pressure,
which, in turn, can be achieved by separating the foundations from the foundation
ground by a 30 cm thick cyclopean concrete layer (i.e., plain concrete with
approximately 40% stones).

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

25 of 33

Building B, C & D

Foundation of the building B, C & D are to be constructed at an approximate elevation
of -413.5m. Ground materials encountered at the above elevation are lisan marl.
Although, these materials are relatively homogeneous, significant variations in strength
parameters in both vertical and horizontal extend may take place as a result of the
possible local water submergence. Accordingly, shallow foundation systems with
sufficient rigidity are recommended to support the 3 story building. In order to enhance
the rigidity of the foundation systems, foundations shall be tied together with ground tie
beams constructed at the foundation level.

Differential settlement may also be reduced by reduction of the transmitted pressure,
which, in turn, can be achieved by separating the foundations from the foundation
ground by a 30 cm thick cyclopean concrete layer (i.e., plain concrete with
approximately 40% stones).

Based on the above mentioned analysis for the proposed structures, finish floor levels
(F.F.L), bearing materials, depth of foundations and foundations types are provided in

7.2 Allowable Bearing Pressure

Since Meyerhof proposed his original correlation, researchers have observed that its
results are rather conservative. Later, Meyerhof (1965) suggested that the net allowable
bearing pressure should be increased by about 50%. Bowles (1977) proposed that the
modified form of the bearing pressure equation be expressed as

As mentioned earlier, there is a large variation in the soil strength in both horizontal
and vertical extends as indicated from the SPT test results. Therefore, second lowest
values below foundation influence are taken into consideration in bearing capacity
computing, as presented below.

Many authors do not consider correction to N values of SPT for depth shallower than 5.0
m. Other correction factor is considered based on used hammer energy. The correction
factor of this type the used in the investigation hammer is 0.75. Accordingly, the
adopted corrected number of blows for shallow foundations are as follows:

7.3 Foundation Settlement:

The consolidation settlement for the alluvial materials is expected to be insignificant
(negligible). The elastic (immediate) settlement of the materials can be calculated using
the following equation based on the theory of elasticity [e.g, Timoshenko and Goodier
(1951)]:

s = qa xB (1-
2
) I
Es
Where:
s: settlement of the corner of a rectangular base (mm).
qa: net allowable bearing pressure
B: the width of the foundation, approximately equal to 1.0m for isolated (square strip and
raft) footings
I: combined depth, roughness and bedrock thickness influence factor, which is equal to:
0.88 for square footing
2.1 for strip & raft footing (L/B=10)

: the Poisson's ratio of the materials; is generally about 0.3 for soils.
E: Youngs modulus of soil
E= 7000 N
0.5

Therefore, the estimated foundation settlement is:

Table No.12: Settlement values:

Since the fill materials is erratic and does not have uniform engineering properties,
settlements could not be predicted using conventional settlement calculations. However, if
construction was performed according to the recommendations above, settlements are
expected to be within allowable limits.

7.4 Subgrade Reaction:

For the design of raft foundations on these layers, the conservative value of the modulus
of sub-grade reaction is calculated using the allowable bearing pressure (1.5 Kg/cm
2
) as
follow:

For design of culvert and main building raft foundations, the following modulus of
subgrade reaction may be calculated from the standard penetration number of blows (N
value):

K
0.3
= 1.8 Ncor (MN/m

7.5 Excavation Methods:

It is expected that the excavation will be carried out through the fill, lisan marl and alluvial
materials. Therefore, pneumatic equipment such as jackhammer will be needed in addition
to the conventional excavation equipment such as loaders and dozers for excavation work
at the site.

7.6 Excavation of Side Slopes:

To minimize the stability problems, the temporary excavation sides should be cut at a face
inclination not steeper than one horizontal to one vertical (1H: 1V) for the fill and
alluvial materials.

If these side slopes can not be achieved for insufficient lateral distance or for any other
reason, temporary lateral support (shoring) system may be necessary and should be
considered.

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

30 of 33

7.7 Drainage:

It is recommended to protect the foundation ground and excavation from surface water
both during and after construction by providing proper drainage and protection system and
maintaining the sewer and water system of the buildings continuously. The rain water and
surface water (if any) which is collected from the rain water ducts and from ground
surface should be directed away from the buildings.

Proper drainage should also be provided at all retaining walls (if any) in the form of either
perforated drain pipes or weep holes across the wall. A filter/drainage blanket or layer
approximately 50 cm wide should be backfilled against all retaining walls consisting of
open graded filter materials (single size gravel may also be used). Gradation requirements
for filter material are outlined in the following paragraph.
7.8 Backfill Materials, Selected Engineered Fill and Compaction Criteria:

The existing fill materials are considered suitable for backfilling purposes.

Backfill Materials:
The materials to be used for backfilling purposes under bottom slab and behind
underground walls shall be a soil or soil-rock mixture, which is free from organic matter
or other deleterious substances. It shall not contain rocks or lumps over 15 cm in greatest
dimension, and not more than 15 percent larger than 7 cm. The fine materials (passing
sieve 200) shall not exceed 35 percent. The plasticity index for the backfill material shall
not be more than 10 percent. It shall be spread in lifts not exceeding 20cm in uncompacted
thickness, moisture conditioned to its optimum moisture content, and compacted to
density not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry density as obtained by modified
proctor compaction test (ASTM D 1557-09).

Selected Engineered Fill:
The engineered fill materials shall be composed of well graded granular material. It shall
be spread in lifts not exceeding 20cm in uncompacted thickness, moisture conditioned to
its optimum moisture content and compacted to a dry density not less than 97 percent of
the maximum density as obtained by modified proctor compaction test (ASTM D 1557-
09). The plasticity index for the selected fill material shall not be more than 6 percent.

Geot. Eng. M.M / S12000003

31 of 33
Retaining Walls:
The backfill materials immediately behind the retaining walls (if any) shall consist of
filter/drainage materials composed of clean coarse sand and gravel or crushed stone
conforming to the following gradation requirements:

Sieve Size Percentage Passing by Weight
2 1/2" 100
1 1/2" 80-100
3/4" 60-95
No. 4 35-65
No. 8 25-50
No. 30 5-25
No. 200 0-3
(Single size gravel may also be used as an alternative to the above filter materials).

These materials shall extend vertically from the bottom of the walls to a level of
approximately 1m below the finished ground level behind the walls. The top 1m shall be
backfilled with relatively impervious materials.
7.9 Earth Pressure

Assuming that there are no sustained surcharges, no back slope and no hydrostatic
pressure conditions, the following soil parameters may be used in the design (based on our
experience with similar materials).

The recommendations given in this report are based on the assumption that the subsurface
materials and conditions do not deviate appreciably from those disclosed in the borings.

Our office should be notified, in writing, immediately after all foundation excavations and
before foundation construction to inspect the excavations and confirm that the required
ground is reached and all the undesirable and loose materials are removed.

Note 1: To convert results expressed as SO3 to SO4, multiply by 1.2.

Note 2: Cement content includes pfa and slag.

Note 3: Cement contents relate to 20mm nominal maximum size aggregate. In order to maintain
the cement content of the mortar fraction at similar values, the minimum cement contents given
should be increased by 40kg/m
3
for 10mm nominal maximum size aggregate and may be
decreased by 30kg/m
3
for 40mm nominal maximum size aggregate as described in Table 8 of BS
5328 : Part 1.

Note 4: The minimum value required in BS 8110 and BS 5328 : Part 1 is 275kg/m
3
for un-
reinforced structural concrete in contact with non-aggressive soil. A minimum cement content of
300kg/m
3
(BS 8110) and maximum free water / cement ration of 0.60 is required for reinforced
concrete. A minimum cement content of 220kg/m
3
and maximum free water / cement ratio of
0.80 is permissible for C20 grade concrete when using un-reinforced strip foundations and trench
fill for low-rise buildings in Class 1.
