Mission

At the request of la Société HYDROTERRA ENGINEERING, the CENTRAL BUILDING AND

EQUIPMENT LABORATORY (LCBE) moved to the site of Djibouti to carry out a SERIE OF
IDENTIFICATION OF SOIL. This mission should allow:

1. Determine the lithological nature of the formations crossed

2. To identify the geotechnical nature of the samples taken from the section

3. Provide the results of the laboratory tests performed on the samples taken.
.

1.2 Regulation used

The various tests performed (in situ and laboratory tests) comply with AFNOR standards

421
 II. SOIL IDENTIFICATION

2.1 Identificationprogram:

For this study, the investigation program initially planned was modified to take into account the
difficulties of access to the site. The initial program also planned, according to the specifications, to stop
the depth of investigation if the bedrock is reached with a rock continuity of 6 meters beyond the
planned foundation level

The table below gives a summary of the work performed:

In addition to the core drilling and manual sampling of soil samples, the following test has been realized
on the site:

1. 1. SPT tests to determine the bearing capacity of crossed layers:

2. 2. laboratory tests to identify and characterize soils in place, including:

- 19Sieve analysis [NF P 94-056],

- 19Atterberg Limits [NF P 94-051],
- 19 Water content [NF P 94-050],

Surveying procedures

1. Boreholes drilling with Standard penetration test :

For these types of machines, drillings are carried out by the method of rotation by means of a drill string
provided at its base with a perforating tool which rotates in the borehole. Bentonite-based slurry injected
into the circuit allows the drill string to be cooled down, the wall to be shielded and the borehole to be
cleaned. Tungsten carbide crowns, carbonites and diamond crowns are used depending on the
formations [Link] was carried out by rotation and washing.

The Standard Penetration Test is carried out following a battering of a 450 mm penetration of the split
sampler, using a hammer weighing 63.5 kg and falling in free fall from a height of 760 mm on the head
of a drill string.
The split sampler used has an outside diameter of 51 mm and does not have a liner inside. The
standard penetration tests were performed using an automatic hammer, providing effective energy to
the rod train of about 80% of the theoretical potential free fall energy.
This test, carried out in accordance with the French Standard (NF P 94-116), makes it possible to
provide information on the nature of the soil and to take samples of remodeled material for carrying out
physical tests in the laboratory.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF GEOTECHNICAL MISSIONS

1. Frames of the mission

With reference to CLASSIFICATION OF TYPICAL GEOTECHNICAL MISSIONS (Standard
NFP 94-500 of décember 2006), It is the responsibility of the project owner and his projet manager to
ensure that all the geotechnical missions necessary for the design and execution of the work are
undertaken with the appropriate means and entrusted to the men of the Art.
The sequence of geotechnical missions follows the succession of project development phases, each of
these missions covering only a specific area of design or execution. In particular:
1. G1, G2, G3, G4 missions are realized ina successive order;
2. A mission entrusted to our company may contain only a part of the services described in the
corresponding standard mission;
3. the geotechnical investigations engage our company only on the conformity of the executed
works with those contractually ordered and the exactitude of the results which it provides;
4. A typical mission, G1 to G5, engages our company on its duty of advice only in the strict
framework, on the one hand of the objectives explicitly defined in our technical proposal on the
basis of which the order and its possible amendments have been established, on the other
hand, the client's project described by the graphic documents or plans cited in the report;
5. A typical mission G1 or G5 excludes any commitment of our company on the quantities, costs
and time of execution of the future geotechnical works;
6. A typical mission G2 engages our company as technical assistant to the prime contractor within
the limits of the contract setting the scope of the mission and the part (s) of the work (s)
concerned (s).
The responsibility of our company can not be engaged outside the framework of the geotechnical
mission object of the report. In particular, any modification made to the project or its environment
requires the updating of the geotechnical report as part of a new mission.
2. Recommandations
It is specified that the geotechnical study is based on recognition of the soil whose mesh does not make
it possible to remove all the hazards always possible in natural environment. Indeed, heterogeneities,
natural or man-made, discontinuities and performance hazards may arise given the relationship
between the sampled or tested volume and the volume requested by the book, and even more so that
these possible singularities can be limited in extension.

553
The new engineering elements highlighted during the execution, which may have an influence on the
conclusions of the report, must be immediately reported to the geotechnician in charge of the
supervision of the technical monitoring of execution (mission G4) so that he/she analyzes the
consequences on the conditions of execution of the design of the technical work.
If a particular evolutionary character has been brought to light (especially slip, erosion, dissolution,
upgradeable fill, peat), the application of the recommendations of the report requires validation at each
successive stage of the design or execution. Such an evolutionary character can cause these
recommendations to take a long time before they are implemented.

3. Mission report
The geotechnical report is the report of the geotechnical mission defined by the order under which it was
established and whose references are recalled in mind. In the absence of specific contractual clauses,
the delivery of the geotechnical report fixes the end of the mission. A geotechnical report and all its
identified annexes constitute an inseparable whole. The two copies of reference are the two preserved
original ones: one by the customer and the second by our company. In this context, any other
interpretation that could be made of a communication or partial reproduction could not engage the
responsibility of our company. In particular, even the partial use of these results and conclusions by
another owner or by another constructor or for any other work than the entrusted mission, will not be
able to engage the responsibility of our company and may result in prosecution.

CLASSIFICATION OF TYPES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING MISSIONS
The sequence of engineering and engineering missions goes through the stages of elaboration and
realization of any project to contribute to the control of the geological risks. Each mission relies on
specific geotechnical investigations.
It is the responsibility of the project owner or his authorized representative to ensure the subsequent
realization of all these missions by geotechnical engineer.
Stage1 : Prior geotechnical study (G1)
These missions exclude all approaches to the quantities, deadlines and costs of execution of the
engineering works which is part of a project engineering study mission (stage 2). They are normally the
responsibility of the client.
Preliminary geotechnical site study (G11)

It is carried out at the stage of a preliminary study or sketch and allows a first identification of the
geological risks of a site:
1. A documentary survey on the geotechnical framework of the site and the existence of surroundings
is made with a visit of the site surroundings;
1. A specific geotechnical investigation program is defined and carried out, its technical follow-up is
ensured, the results exploited;
2. A report with a preliminary geological model, some general principles of adaptation of the project to
the site and a first identification of the risks is provided.
Geotechnical study of preliminary project (G12)

It is carried out at the pre-project stage and helps to reduce the consequences of the identified risks of
geological hazards:
1. A specific geotechnical investigation program is defined and carried out, its technical follow-up is
ensured, the results exploited;
2. to provide a report giving the technical and technical assumptions to be taken into account at the
preliminary design stage, certain general construction principles (including earthworks, retaining
walls, foundations, risks of deformation of the ground, general provisions with respect to
groundwater and neighboring areas)..
This study will have to be completed during the project engineering study (step 2).

Stage 2 Project Geotechnical studies (G2)

It is carried out to define the project of engineering works and to reduce the consequences of
significant geological risks that have been identified. It is normally the responsibility of the contracting
authority and can be integrated into the general project management mission.

ProjectPhase

1. A specific geotechnical investigation program is defined and carried out, its technical follow-up is
ensured, the results exploited;
2. To provide an updated summary of the site and the technical notes giving the proposed methods of
execution for engineering structures (including grounding, support, groundwater layouts and
neighboring layouts) and associated values, certain project level sizing calculation notes;
3. Provide an approach to the quantities / details / costs of performing these engineering works and an
identification of the consequences of residualgreen risks.
Phase Assistance toWorks Contrats
1. to draw up the documents necessary for the consultation of the companies for the execution of the
engineering works (plans, technical instructions, price list and estimate framework, provisional
planning);
2. Assist the client for the selection of companies and the technical analysis of offers.
Stage3: Execution of the Geotechnical Works (G3 and G4, separate and simultaneous)
Geotechnical Execution Study and Monitoring (G3)
It takes place in 2 interactive and inseparable phases, it allows to reduce the residual risks by the timely
implementation of adaptation measures oroptimization. It is normally assigned to the contractor.
Study phase

1. Define a specific engineering program, carry it out, ensure technical follow-up and exploit the results;
2. To study in detail the engineering structures, in particular validation of the technical hypotheses,
definition and dimensioning (justifying computations), methods and conditions of execution (phasing,
follow-up, controls, inspections in conjunction with the associated values, additional constructive
provisions, if any), drawing up the geotechnical file of execution.

Follow-up Phase

1. To follow the program of inspection and execution of the geotechnical works, to trigger if necessary
the constructive provisions pre-defined during the study phase;
2. To verify the geotechnical data by survey during excavations and by a program of complementary
geotechnical investigations if necessary (to carry it out or to ensure the technical follow-up, to exploit the
results);
3. Participate in the preparation of the end-of-works file and maintenance recommendations for
geotechnical structures.

556
It makes it possible to verify the conformity with the objectives of the project, the study and the
geotechnical follow-up of execution. It is normally the responsibility of the owner.

Supervision phase of the study of execution

1. Advice on the geotechnical execution study, on the adaptations or potential
optimizations of the geotechnical works proposed by the contractor, on the monitoring
program and the associated threshold values.

Supervision phase of the execution monitoring

1. Notice, by occasional interventions on the site, on the geotechnical context as
observed by the contractor, on the observed behavior of the work and the
neighbors concerned and on the adaptation or the optimization of the
geotechnical work proposed by the contractor.
Geotechnical diagnosis (G5)

During the course of a project or during the life of a work, it may be necessary to proceed, in a strictly
limited manner, to the study of one or more specific geotechnical elements, within the framework of a
mission punctual.
1. Define, after documentary investigation, a specific program of geotechnical investigations, carry it out
or ensure its technical follow-up, exploit the results;
2. To study one or more specific geotechnical elements (for example, or tenement, drawdown,
geotechnical causes of a disorder) as part of this diagnosis, but without any involvement in other
geotechnical elements.
Geotechnical project and / or execution, monitoring and supervision studies must be carried out
subsequently, in accordance with the sequence of geotechnical engineering missions, if this diagnosis
leads to the modification or completion of works
