MINI PROJECT CEGB333 Sem 1 2021

This document provides guidelines for assessing a mini project on evaluating the stability of a hill site for development. Students are asked to analyze a plot of land for constructing a 3-storey bungalow in Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur. The assessment will evaluate the students' written report and presentation on acquiring site information, conducting geotechnical analyses of slope stability and foundations, and providing design and mitigation recommendations. The report will be assessed based on writing quality, technical content including problem identification, design, and conclusions.

MINI PROJECT (FINAL ASSESSMENT)
REPORT SUBMISSION & PRESENTATION DATE BY 14 Dec 2020
ANSWER SCHEME (20 marks)

Problem statement

As a geotechnical engineer, you are asked to evaluate the stability of natural


terrain for hill-site development. A client wishes to construct a 3 storey- bungalow
on a plot of land at Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur. However, the client doesn’t have
any input or information on the area, thus it is your task to acquire information such
as contour, soil stratigraphy of area etc. You are required to present technical
analysis and recommendation of the area to the client which covers all
geotechnical elements such as slope, retaining wall and foundation. The GPS
coordinates of the location is 3.163998, 101.67884.

Site Description
a. Student needs to obtain the contour map and borelog sheet by conducting the
desktop study using Google Earth, Google Map, Contour map generator
(https://contourmapcreator.urgr8.ch) etc.

b. Produce cross section of the area and identify slope within the area which
experiencing distress or sign of failure and establish surrounding constraints.
(3%)
c. Photo identification and labelling of sign of distress must be presented and
examined. (5%)
d. Student needs to examine the location of the area and its geotechnical
elements (slope and ground) based on geology map and soil type. (5%)
e. Student needs to identify the constraints in terms of environment, society
safety, health, culture
f. Student should be able to provide the cross section of the area indicating
platform level, location of the bungalow, ingress and egress point of the road,
the slope height, slope angle, size of berm (if any) (5%)
g. Student should be able to classify the type of slope whether the slope is class
I, class II, class III or class IV. (2%)
h. Student needs to suggest the location of borehole and method for SI (5%)
i. Student needs to conduct literature review in order to provide justifications for
the soil engineering properties and shear strength parameters to be used in
the analysis. (5%)
Foundation system
a. Determine bearing capacity of the soil
b. Suggest type of foundation that is suitable for the construction based on the
soil stratigraphy.
c. Provide justification of the suggested foundation system. If the soil is
unsuitable, suggest appropriate ground improvement method to be used.
d. Conduct stress analysis (horizontal and vertical stresses) where applicable
with regards to the foundation system.
e. Design the appropriate size of footing for the bungalow.
f. Evaluate the applicability of the foundation system and its dimension.
g.

Slope Stability Analyses

a. Based on distress signs of slope at site, students should be able to predict the
failure plane of the slope (2%)
b. Student needs to conduct slope stability analysis using any slope software
available i.e. SLOPE/W, PLAXIS etc. using which ever method that is deemed
suitable. Students need to conduct slope stability analysis by conducting
checking based on both types of failure; circular (Simplified Bishop – no
structural features) and non circular/Wedge failure (Janbu, Morgenstern &
Price – failures often at relicts joints or boundaries between weathering profile.
Student should be able to demonstrate the ability to use the chosen software.
(10%)
c. Students also need to provide justification of the chosen method based on the
properties and characteristics of the slope and its surrounding. (2%)
d. Students also need to present their assessment on the stability analysis
conducted. (5%)

Conclusion: Recommendation & Suggestion

a. Usage of UBBL, JKR guideline, authorities guidelines when making technical


judgement and assessment
b. Based on the FOS, The factor of safety must be in compliance with JKR Slope
Design Guideline, DBKL Guideline for Planning of Hilly sloping areas and
Negeri Selangor – Guidelines for Hillsite Development student needs to
redesign as well as recommend and suggest structural and/or non- structural
mitigation measures for slope. (15%)
c. Student should be able to draw conclusion based on the objectives of the
report. (5%).
