Project Background
These calculations are prepared to evaluate expected settlement due to dewatering required during
construction of Irrigation Reservoir & Pumping Station (IRR).

Purpose of Calculations
1) To calculate settlement due to increased stress due to dewatering.

Design Basis / References

1) ACES Geotechnical Interpretative Report No. S18000008 Rev.1 dated 25 March 2018
2) Abu Dhabi City Municipality, Town Planning Sector Geotechnical, Geophysical, and Hydrogeological
Investigation Project (GGHIP) Dewatering Guidelines, Rev. 1, Dated 08 July 2014.
3) Expected dewatering depth for IRR is 4.5m (h2) and as per the nearest Borehole Log BH-01, GWT is at 1.6m
(h1) depth from existing ground.
Calculation of Radius of Influence
Co-efficient of Permeability of the soil is 6.7 x 10-6 as per section 6.3.3 of the references ACES Report.
Radius of Influence = 3000 x (h2-h1) x (co-efficient of Permeability)^0.5
= 3000 x (4.5-1.6 ) x (6.7 x 10-6)^0.5
Radius of Influence = 22.55 # 23m

Where: Cc = compression index = 0.06 {values of all Geotechnical Parameters have been assumed}
H = height of consolidating soil layer = 12m
e0 = void ratio of sand = 0.68
p0 = effective stress under initial conditions = (16 x 1.6)+(11 x 4.4) = 74 kN/m2
'p+p0 = effective stress under final condition = [(16 x 4.5)+(11x1.5)] = 88.5 kN/m2
Bulk Unit weight of soil = 16 kN/m3

Submerged Unit Weight of soil = 11 kN/m

Conclusion :
1) It is concluded that at the maximum anticipated settlement expected at the point of dewatering will be
33mm.
2) Nearest existing road is 35m away; which is beyond radius of influence, hence the anticipated settlement
for the existing road due to dewatering for the Irrigation Reservoir & Pumping Station would be minimal,
i.e. less than 5mm.
