1.1. Site Survey
20/02/09
Definition:
Site Survey is the first stage to be carried
out before constructing the building. It willinvolve site visit and gathering informationregarding the site location, such aslocation area, climate, lighting, public
facilities, type of soil and previous locationactivities.

1.1.1. Information needed before
construction are:-

a. Site Location gather information regardingwhere the sunrise is and this is important toprovide a better space for lighting.
b. Overview a better overview of a buildingcan give better price & get more costumer topurchase the building.

1.1.1. Information needed before
construction are:-a. Ground condition not easily flooding during
raining season and not attached directlynear to the rivers
b. Public facilities supply with electricity,water & telephone. Attach with roadways,transportation, school, recreation center, &
etcc. Ground composition - make sure the origin
soil type (not clay type or embankmentarea)
d. Away from mining area and airport area 20/02/09

1.2.1. Soil Investigations
Objectives1. To gather information regarding the soils
types in different locations
2. To get the soil structure, thickness andstrength for every strata of the soil
3. To get information on how deep is the bed-rock, location, situation, layer, thickness and
its hardness & the explanation regardingevery type of rock that it has in every strata.

1.2.1. Soil Investigations
Objectives1. To get the water level in the soil and the
water pressure for every location
2. To know the soil characteristics from everytests that had been carried out

1.2.2. Things to be prepared
before doing soil investigationSoil must be tested before carry out soil
investigation . Other information needed incarrying out soil investigation are:-
b.Geology map
c.Mining records
d.Dam system or water drainage system

1.2.4. SoilSoil divided into TWO(2) types:
Top soil soil that at the earth surface area.
Soil that good for agriculture in within 100 300 mm
-Types of topsoil: loose soil, healthy three &fertile ground soil, soft ground and not
suitable for foundation ground.Ground soil soil which is at below thesurface earth. This soil will be collecteddepend on its sizes and shape of particles
and its soils density.20/02/09

1. Coarse grain and non-stick soil.Example: sand, fine gravel (easily settleduring construction)
4. Fine grain and stick soil
Example: clay soil (settlement are slow &continous)

1.2.4.2. Factors causes Settlement
a. Soil compaction caused from buildings load
b. Changes of soil volume follow season
c. Soil improvement because of site clearance
(three cutting)d. Unstable soil movement such as
embankment area & mining area.
e. Unstable soil causes of excavation and
releasing water (drying area) such as soilcutting for road construction

1.3. SITE PREPARATION
Definition:
The main purpose of site clearance is
to remove existing buildings,waste, vegetation and, mostimportantly, the surface layer ofsoil referred to as topsoil

1.3. SITE PREPARATION
Why Topsoil NEED TO BE REMOVED?
It is necessary to remove this layer of soil, asit is unsuitable to build on.
This surface layer of soil is difficult tocompact down due to the high content ofvegetable matter, which makes the
composition of the soil soft and loose.The topsoil also contains various chemicals
that encourage plant growth, which mayadversely affect some structures over time

Excavation for drain & FoundationExcavation for drain and foundation trenches
are one of the most dangerous areas wheresite operatives are employed
The safety legislation is defined in theconstruction.

Excavation for drain & FoundationEmphasis are:-
2. If the trench depth is less than 1.2 m and the
sides are self supporting3. Where the sides of the excavation are sloped
below the subsoil angle of repose (selfsupporting angle)
- Exmples of angles are:dry clay 46 wet sand 22

dry sand 4020/02/09
