or outflow from the specimen against back pressure. The specimens shall be
consolidated at confining pressures to be determined as part of the test,
specimens shall be wrapped with filter paper with vertical slots to accelerate
consolidation.
For tests under partially saturated conditions, the test specimen shall be
consolidated under confining pressures to be specified by the Engineer, and
shall then be compressed at a constant rate of strain sufficiently low to prevent
any buildup of pore pressures, either positive or negative.
For tests under saturated conditions, the test specimen shall first be
consolidated at the moisture content as for the partially saturated test, by
measuring the volume changes, without the application of back pressure.
The test report shall include moisture contents and dry unit weights (initial,
after the initial consolidation, after saturation and final); plots of volume
changes and pore pressure dissipation versus logarithm of elapsed time during
consolidation; and plots of deviator stress a volume changes during axial
compression. The Contractor shall give details of equipment used and the
methods adopted for measuring volume changes during consolidation, axial
deformation and excess pore pressure, and the rate of strain used during
compression.

water pressure and stress/strain data and their appropriate plots together with
total and effective shear strength envelopes for both peak shear strength and
shear strength at twenty (20) percent strain.

were performed on separate specimens, and the test procedures, rates of
strain and test reports shall be in general as described above for tests on
separate specimens.

PAINT APPLICATION
Conformance
Application of paint shall conform to : the requirements of SSPC Paint
Application Specification No.1 "Shop, Field and Maintenance Painting";
manufacturer's instructions and the requirements of mentioned ‘Painting Work
System’ above.
Time Restrictions
Application of the prime coat painting shall normally be made over a blast
cleaned area within 8 hours after completion of blast cleaning. This time
restriction may be modified to more or less than 8 hours, depending on the
temperature and humidity control exercised. The main criteria is that any rust
bloom shall form on the surface prior to the application of the prime coat. In
case any rust bloom does form, the surface shall be blast cleaned again, before
application of the prime coat.
Temperature Restrictions
Paint shall not be applied when the surrounding air temperature is below 50C,
nor when the temperature is expected to drop to 00C before the paint dries.
Paint shall not be applied to steel which has temperature of more than two
degrees below the surrounding air temperature, or which at a temperature
lower than 30C.
Paint shall not be applied to steel which is at a temperature of over 50 0C unless
the paint is specifically formulated for such application. Whenever necessary
to paint steel in hot weather, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the
specified dry film thickness of paint is achieved.
Method of Application
Application of paint shall primarily be made by using proper size grade of brushes,
except, where spray equipment or rollers can be used to advantage. Spray
equipment, if used, shall be accurately and fully controlled at all times in order
to prevent damage to adjacent surfaces.
In case two or more coat work is specified, the following shall apply:
a. The second coat of paint shall not be applied until the prime coat has been
completed and checked. If the second coat is applied before the check of
the prime coat, it will be assumed that the prime coat has not been applied,
and at the option of the Owner, the entire painting shall be removed and
such shall be area repainted.
b. Sufficient time for drying shall be allowed between coats.
Verification of paint thickness may be made by the Owner at this option; based
on measuring average wet film thickness, using a Wet Film Gauge. Gauges shall
be furnished by the Contractor.
The paint manufacturers shall accordingly be requested by the Contractor to
furnish the wet film thickness required, for each type of paint and method of
application, to obtain the specified dry film thickness. The wet films thickness
shall be based on applying the paint directly from the original containers
without any additional thinners.
In case the Contractor intends to use thinners, he shall inform the Owner and
the paint manufacturer of his intended method of application. The paint
manufacturer shall then re-evaluate the paint and furnish the Owner and the
Contractor with the new wet film thickness required.
Dry film thickness (DFT) may also be verified by the Owner; for verification of
the paint thickness, the dry thickness will be measured using an Elcometer
gauge or a Nordson Micro gauge. SSPC Method PA 2 will be used to determine
the DFT using such gauges.
If the required minimum dry film thickness is not attained, as determined by
the dry-film verification, additional coats of paint shall be applied to obtain the
specification of thickness.
4.4.2.22.6 INSPECTION
All Work covered by this Specification will be subject to inspection by the
Owner; any work found does not in accordance with the Specification shall be
satisfactorily redone by the Contractor with no cost to the Owner.
The Owner may make random spot checks on materials, equipment etc. which
have been painted, by removing small swatches of paints to bare metal with
acetone and examining the surface with a 5x power magnifying glass to
observe the absence or presence of rust under the prime coat.
The presence of rust or rust stains under such swatches shall be a sufficient
cause for rejecting the work, and the Contractor shall repair and repaint the
work in the field at his own expense.
Each paint application such as primer coat and intermediate coat shall be free
of dry spray, overspray, pinholes, and discontinuities. Areas where such
detrimental conditions occur shall be redone by the Contractor at no cost to
the Owner before applying the next coat.

The soil investigation were carried out by PT. Petrosol from October 16 up to
November 19, 2011 at ± 50 m from KDL CFSPP 1 x 150 MW . The results of
geotechnical analysis are presented here in :
Soil Profile
Soil profile is determined based on soil investigation result.In general, soil profile
consist of loose silty sand in the surface, and dense to very dense silty sand in the
bottom. Soil profile condition in the location comprise of :
Groundwater
1. Since the soil is dominated by loose and saturated sand layer, it possible
that liquefaction condition will be occurs during earthquake. Therefore
pile capacities for two types of soil conditions, normal soil condition and
liquefaction condition, are calculated frome existing ground surface to
end of boring at each borehole locations.
2. Soils displacement (vertical and horizontal) due to embankment film
does not involve in the pile capacities calculations. Vertical displacement
of soil may generate negative skin friction, whereas lateral displacement
of soil will produce additional lateral force.
3. Pile types that used in the calculation were driven pile (concrete) with
diameter of 450 mm.
4. In this study, the calculation of negative skin friction is excluded from
the analysis of pile bearing capacity since the soft soil layer is not found
at the proposed area.
5. The analysis of lateral capacity of pile was performed based on the
following assumptions:
Fixed head pile
No vertical load applies to the pile
6. It is noted that factor of safety should be applied to the ultimate
capacity due to the uncertainties during analysis process.
Liquefaction
It is known that the soil at the proposed project location is dominated by loose and
saturated sand layer above hard layer. Hence, it is possible that liquefaction
condition will be occurs during earthquake. The soil will loose their shear strength
when the liquefaction occurs. Therefore the pile will also lose their skin friction
capacity along loose sand layer and become freestanding pile. Refer to the lateral
capacity of pile diameter 45 cm as presented, it is known that the lateral capacity in
normal condition vary from 40 kN to 60 kN, however at liquefaction the capacity
far drop to 0.3 kN to 0.9 kN, is mean, piles will far from enough strength against
lateral load, especially during earthquake/liquefaction condition. In detail design
process, the engineers should consider about this liquefaction condition to increase
the resistance of the top loose sand layer until 15 m depth against liquefaction, it is
suggested or proposed to carry out sand compaction piles over the project area.
Therefore, at each proposed heavy structure location site exploration drilling shall
be carried out. In addition locating cavities at depth could be carried out by using
geophysical survey methods such as cross-hole ground penetrating radar and,
earth – resistivity ( Geo-Electric sounding ).
Large openings near the surface may be detected by gravity methods.
It should be noted that the foundation shall be designed in such a manner that
neither land subsidence nor cavity collapse will impair the structure.
