1.364 ADVANCED GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING HOMEWORK NO.1 FALL SEMESTER 2003 Due: Friday 26 September 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Post Office Square project in Boston, Massachusetts involves the demolition of an existing garage (two storeys above and one storey below ground) and the construction of new building structures and a 7-level underground parking. The site is bounded by the intersections of Pearl, Congress, Milk and Franklin Streets (Figure 1). Existing buildings up to 40 stories tall are located adjacent to the site and are supported on shallow foundations (mats and footings). The site investigations for the project were carried out in two main phases. The details are contained in the Report Nos. 1 to 4. 2. AVAILABLE DATA Report No.1 presents the geotechnical information obtained from the initial investigation (BH 1 to 15). The report also includes a compilation of additional borehole data derived from other sources for the surrounding areas outside the site boundary. Report No.2 contains a summary of the supplementary laboratory tests conducted. Phase 2 of the site investigation program addresses mainly the ground water conditions surrounding the site (BH101 to 115) and field vane shear tests. The information is given in Report No.3. The final Report No.4 summarizes the data obtained from water pumping tests. Five copies of the site investigation data are available in binders.These can be signed out for limited periods of time. Please be courteous to your fellow students and return them when you are not actually using them. 3. TASKS You are required to evalu
