Hi,
I have a soil survey report which I barely understand. Could someone possibly "translate" what is written there for me?
The area is a slightly uneven fallow land with ground elevations around +0.5 to +0.7m relative height with a slight slope to the west.
Up to 0.8m: topsoil, soil class 1
From 0.8m to 1.6m: non-cohesive sands, soil class 3
Afterwards cohesive sands, soil class 4 (in case of silting class 2)
It is clear that the topsoil must be removed and disposed of or can be used for garden landscaping. Regarding the next layer (non-cohesive sand), the following applies:
After topsoil removal, a slightly different subgrade exists at about -0.15 to -0.2m. This height difference must be bridged by subbase/filling.
When performing static plate load tests, deformation moduli Ev2 of at least 60 MN/m2 should be reached at the top edge of the final gravelly-subbase.
If the foundation slab is statically designed according to the subgrade modulus method, considering a base pressure load of 125 to 150 kN/m2, a static subgrade modulus of 25 to 30 MN/m3 is assumed.
If load-bearing strip foundations are executed on the non-cohesive medium dense sand, they can be designed for a base pressure load of 200 kN/m2. This corresponds to a design value of the base resistance of 280 kN/m2.
For the backfilling of working spaces, non-cohesive, compactable fill material is recommended.
My construction specification states the following:
"The soil in the area of the building structure will be removed to a depth of about 40 cm and stored aside. Soil up to soil class 3 and a load-bearing soil with an allowable soil pressure of 250 kN/m² is assumed. The excavation will be backfilled with fill sand and compacted in layers. The base height will be filled up to about 40 cm with the excavated soil."
Since the topsoil is up to 0.8m deep, these 80cm must be removed instead of 40cm. Will there be additional work/costs for me?
