REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR HIGH-RISE AND PUBLIC BUILDING PROJECTS COMMITTEE Geotechnical Guidelines March, 2020Submission Requirements for Earth Retaining or Stabilizing Structures for High Rise Buildings with Basement Construction If the portion of a building is defined as the basement according to Myanmar National Building code (clause: 4.1.5.1, MNBC 2020), the followings shall be submitted: Deep excavation analysis and design Instrumentation and monitoring system Calculation of ERSS design Submission Document Check-List Presentation Geotechnical Impact Assessment (GIA) Letter from YCDC (to be attached) Note: The above requirements are intended only for High Rise Buildings with basement construction. If other parties use this guide line, the submission requirements shall be amended by the authorized persons.GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN Basement Construction: General Requirements for Excavation and Lateral Support (ELS) |. ELS plans submission document shall include the geotechnical assessment, geotechnical details and calculations, site investigation reports. 2. Designer shall prepare and sign the plans and structural design as well as the structural assessment report of the effects of the excavation and dewatering on adjoining structures 3. ELS design report shall explain the references for recognized specific: ‘ions and code of practice for design calculation, 4. Construction methodology shall explain, for example, detail excavation and support installation sequence and then removal of temporary support, construction of permanent structure for each stage. 5. Designer shall prepare the impact assessment of surrounding building and facilities, monitoring plan and instrumentation, The impact assessment. shall include hydrological assessment including surface and subsurface ground water flow, ground movement during and/after construction, vibration due to construction and mitigation of impacts on surrounding buildings and facilities. 6. The followings shall be included in detail drawings of basement: a) Detail drawings of all structural elements, joint connection, reinforcement and technical notes. b) Detail site layout plan with adjacent buildings and bored hole location. ©) The construction structural details of the lateral support system, including detailing of the structural supports (struts, anchorage etc.) for each stage of excavation, 4) Detail excavation depth including localized pits and sloping ground. 7. Adjacent building survey shall be done according to the survey form in the guideline, Technical Requirements Consideration shall be given in geotechnical design as below. 1. Restricted Area 2. Protection to adjacent structures (road, building, underground related facilities ete.) 3. Construction hazards Geotechnical Design Requirement 1. The surcharge load shall be considered a minimum value of 10 kN/m?. Additional surcharge loading shall be used in the design to take account of incidental loading 2arising from adjacent buildings, working area, construction plant and stacking of materials, Dynamic load factor of traffic shall be considered due to the movement of vehicles during construction, The ground-water pressure, ground water flow into excavation and its influence on the wall stability and impact on the adjacent building shall be considered in design. The Ultimate Limit States (ULS) of the wall shall be checked by using the global safety factor of 2 for temporary work. Unfactored soil strength parameters and loads are used in the stability checks. Serviceability Limit States (SLS) checks shall be carried out to assess the impacts on adjoining buildings, structures, services and land that require the use of deformation parameters in given the attached Tables (2A, 2B and 2C). Wall deflection and ground settlement behind the basement wall shall be computed and submitted for critical sections, Analytical method is allowed for single excavation stage. 7. For the analysis of interaction of soil and support, recognized finite element computer 10, 12, 13. program shall be used where the excavation is multilayer excavation and supporting. The program used, soil model used, other specifications and design assumptions shall be clearly stated in calculation report. For multi layers of excavation and supporting, consideration shall be given the interaction between the removal of temporary support and performance of permanent support. . Over excavation depth shall be considered in the design. tn The accidental load (minimum $0 kN), temperature load (minimum 20°C) and live load (Construction Activity load) shall be properly designed in structural design. AISC specifications are recommended for the design of steel members. The axial force, bending moment and shear force of all structural members shall be computed and submitted. All geotechnical capacities of structural members (ground anchor, soil nail ete.) in compliance with relevant design codes of practices can be taken into account. (Minimum 1 % for proving test and 8% for acceptance test shall be performed as per code requirement.) . As built drawings endorsed by PE (Construction) shall be submitted after completion of retaining wall and piling works.14 Any changes on the basement depth or number of basements is not permitted after recommendation of Deep Excavation Design. Appendices for Geotechnical Design Table (1) 1 | Overall Stability To check the sufficient embedment depth to prevent overturning of the wall and overall slope stability 2 | Basal Failure To check the wall penetration depth to prevent basal failure in front of the wall after excavation to formation level 3. | Hydraulic Failure ‘To check the penetration of the wall to avoid piping or ‘blow out’ in front of the wall after excavation to formation level. Note: The design check methods or formula shall match with application of predetermined design concept. ‘Table (2A) Allowable Wall Deflection Limits 1 H>d Zone 1 <05%H 2 2H>d>H Zone 2 <0.7%H 0.7% H for ground type A 3 a>2H 3 = 1.0 % H for ground type B Where, 8y = maximum wall deflection H= Excavation depth, d= distance between existing structure and the edge of the excavation Ground Type A = over-consolidated stiff clays and silts, residual soils, and medium to dense sands Ground Type B = soft clays, silts or organic soils. Allowable displacement: Near existing building with allowable displacement shall be <05H%. Table (2B) Control of Wall Deflection during Construction Allowable Limit Check level Alert level Work suspension level 50% of WSL 70% of WSL Allowable wall deflection limit Note: Work Suspension Level is equivalent to the maximum analysis results. 4Table (2C) Control of Angular Distortion during Construction Allowable Limit Check level Alert level 1/1000 1/750 Control of Vertical Settlement during Construction settlement shall be considered by the 1. For nonstructural building, the allowable vertic: recognized criteria, 2. Based on the types of foundation of adjacent buildings, the allowable differential settlement shall be estimated by the recognized criteria. 3. The safety factor shall be considered for sensitive building. Detail Excavation Depth of Excavation 700m ca @ tna (D)Adjacent Structure Survey (for building) A. Survey B. Building Photo 1.
