5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Babbage Consultants Limited (Babbage) was engaged by Foodstuffs North Island Ltd (FSNI) to carry out a geotechnical investigation to support the commercial redevelopment of a site at 980 to 986 Te Rapa Road, Hamilton. The investigation will be used to support a Resource Consent application for the project, and to assist with foundation design. Historical aerial photos show that pre 1971 the majority of the site was undeveloped. AF Porter Limited occupied the site in 1975, at which point levelling earthworks took place and industrial development was undertaken. A ground investigation comprising of test pits, Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) and a machine borehole was carried out on the site. The ground investigation indicated the site to be generally underlain by around 1.2m fill overlying natural alluvial sand and silt deposits with interbedded thin clayey layers. The soil stratigraphy on site is consistent with that anticipated from the geological map. CPT data and lab testing was used to assess the potential for consolidation and liquefaction induced settlement. Consolidation settlements are estimated to be low and within structural building limits. The site appears to be susceptible to liquefaction during an Ultimate Limit State (ULS) event, but not a Serviceability Limit State (SLS). ULS free-field settlement is expected to be around 30 to 60mm. Based on the geotechnical investigation undertaken, we consider that the site is suitable for the proposed commercial development, provided that foundations are compatible with the expected liquefaction settlement. We recommend that a raft or mat foundation be adopted, capable of managing differential settlement. Some sub-excavation of unsuitable fill may be required as part of foundation construction.

6 1.0 INTRODUCTION Babbage Consultants Limited (Babbage) was engaged by Foodstuffs North Island Limited (FSNI) to undertake a geotechnical assessment of the site at 980 to 986 Te Rapa Road, Hamilton (the site). The findings of our assessment will be used to undertake a detailed foundation, retaining wall and earthworks design and will support a resource consent application. Babbage has also undertaken a contamination assessment for the site, which is reported separately. 2.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The site is proposed to be developed as a supermarket, with associated parking, fuel depot, loading bays, and landscaping areas. Babbage received a conceptual drawing 1 provided by Wingate Architects showing the proposed layout of the site, with the main component (the building) located on the north western part of the site. We expect floor loadings to be around 5 to 10 kpa. The carpark and fuel depot will occupy the southern and north eastern parts of the site sharing access and boundaries with Eagle Way and Te Rapa Road. A goods vehicle entry has also been provided via a proposed road extension coming off the corner bend of Eagle way along the north eastern boundary of the site. We expect that upgrade/realignment of existing stormwater and sanitary sewerage systems will be required as part of the development and that overland flow paths need to be assessed. We have not considered these aspects as part of our scope. Considering the generally flat topography of the site, no significant earthworks is envisaged in developing the site. An earthworks plan was not made available to us at the time of writing this report. 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 LOCATION The subject site is located on Te Rapa Road in Hamilton. It fully encompasses 986 and part of 980 Te Rapa Road (Legally describe as LOT 1 DPS 8028, PT Lot 1 & Lot 2 DPS 4044). It is bound by Te Rapa road to the West, Eagle Way to the south and industrial developments to the north and east. The location of the site is indicated in Figure 1. Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

7 Figure 1: Site Location Plan 3.2 SITE USAGE / HISTORY A review of the historic aerial photographs 1 indicates that during 1963 and 1971 the majority of the site was undeveloped and used as pasture land with areas covered in scrub and bush, apart from LOT 1 DPS 8028 which was fully developed with structures. AF Porter Limited 2 occupied the site in 1975, after which the site was developed over the period of the ownership. This included filling with sand and capped with roading subgrade to create storage yards with a number of structures erected. The 1979 aerial photo shows that PT Lot 1 DPS 4044 is being utilised as an industrial yard with a large shed structure on the south eastern boundary. The 1991 photo shows that the industrial development also encompasses PT Lot 2 DPS Lysaght Consultants Limited Report Detailed contaminated Site Investigation Stage 1 for 980 to 1024 Te Rapa Road, Hamilton; Dated May Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

8 The 2012 aerial photo indicates that the majority of the southern portion of the site has been sealed with asphalt. 3.3 TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION The site is generally flat due to the filling carried out post The contours indicate that the highest point is at RL 33.0m with the lowest depression point located approximately in the middle of the site at an RL 32.0m. As the site has been utilised as an industrial yard it is devoid of vegetation, although there are some bushes, small trees and a small lawn within the south western part of the site near the now disused Porters entrance offices along Te Rapa Road. 4.0 SITE INVESTIGATIONS 4.1 SITE INVESTIGATIONS BY OTHER CONSULTANTS Babbage has been provided with two environmental reports carried out for a much larger site (encompassing our site) on 980 to 1024 Te Rapa road by Lysaght Limited: Preliminary site management plan 2, dated 14 May Detailed contaminated Site Investigation Stage 1 for 980 to 1024 Te Rapa Road, Hamilton 2, dated May These reports and a geotechnical site investigation report that Soil and Rock 3 prepared for the Countdown across the road at 8 Eagle Way have been overviewed. The findings of this report are summarised below (note that we do not necessarily endorse these findings): The site is underlain by Piako subgroup of the Tauranga Group. This material consists of alluvial or lacustrine mud, silt, sand with gravel and peat beds. The groundwater table was measure around 1.05m and 4.5m below ground level. A Class C shallow soil site subsoil category was selected based on the site investigation at 8 Eagle Way. Based on the near level topography we consider the risk of instability within the proposed building platform to be low. 2 Lysaght Consultants Limited Report Preliminary site management plan 980 to 1024 Te Rapa Road (Ref No ); Dated 14 May Soil and Rock Consultants Geotechnical Investigation Report Titled Proposed supermarket building corner Te Rapa and Eagle Way Hamilton (Ref No ); Dated 28 October Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

9 The potential for liquefaction is moderate to low. Shallow strip and pad foundations are appropriate and should be embedded 450mm below cleared or final ground levels. With an assumed 300kPa bearing capacity. Council records indicate that the majority of the retail buildings for the Base shopping centre across Te Rapa Road have been constructed on shallow strip and pad foundations. The assessed settlement potential using a standard 3.0m square pad footing is within tolerable limits at 8 Eagle Way. 4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION We understand that the previous environmental investigation was carried out for a much larger site, so was not site specific. A separate detailed site specific contamination report has been prepared by Babbage. 4.3 GEOTECHNICAL SITE INVESTIGATION Geotechnical ground investigation was carried out between 20 and 24 July The shallow ground investigation carried out Pemberton Civil, comprised thirteen test pits (TP101 to TP114) excavated to depths of between 1.6 to 3.0 metres, primarily for environmental sampling. These also provided valuable information regarding near surface soil quality. The deep ground investigation comprised of one sonic machine drilled borehole (BH101) and five Cone Penetration Tests (CPT s), which were carried out by DCN drilling. The machine borehole included Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) at 1.5m intervals. Penetration depths ranged from 4.9 to 23.3 mbgl. The Sonic borehole refused at 14.0 mbgl where heaving was encountered and the borehole could not be progressed further. CPT1, CPT2, CPT3 and CPT5 reached the target depth stratum past a 20.0 mbgl depth. CPT4 refused at a shallow depth of 4.9mbgl. The location of the investigations are presented on the site investigation plan (60729#GE SK-01) in Appendix A. Summary logs and CPT results are provided in Appendix B and C, respectively. Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

10 5.0 LABORATORY TESTING Three samples from the sonic borehole drilling were recovered to carry out Atterberg Limits testing and Particle Size Distribution (PSD) Testing by our IANZ accredited soil testing laboratory. Atterberg limits testing was carried out on the fine grained samples taken at depth of 1.5 and 4.5mbgl. The PSD testing was carried out on the granular material taken at 3.0mbgl. A summary of the results is given below. Location Test Type Test Results BH1, 1.5m Atterberg Limits Water content Liquid Limit Plastic Limit Plasticity Index BH1, 4.5m Atterberg Limits Water content Liquid Limit Plastic Limit Plasticity Index BH1, 3.0m Particle Size Gravel Distribution Sand Silt & Clay (<0.06mm) 47.8% % % 70% 21% The detailed results of the laboratory testing are presented in Appendix C. 6.0 GEOLOGY / STRATIGRAPHY 6.1 GEOLOGY The 1:250,000 scale geological map 4 for the region indicates that the anticipated geology at the site is the Piako subgroup of the Hinerua Formation of the Tauranga Group. This material consists of alluvial or lacustrine mud, silt, sand with gravel and peat beds deposited during the early Holocene late Pleistocene period by the Waikato River. An extract of the geology map for the area is shown in Figure 2 4 Institue of geological & nuclear sciences limited 1:250,000 scale geological map 4, Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

11 Figure 2. Geology Map While the depth of these deposits vary, it is likely that the subject site will have very deep alluvium overlying ash and ignimbrite as it is located within the Hamilton lowlands region. A hydrocarbon investigation borehole carried out at Te Rapa measured the thickness of alluvium at 610m. The block diagram (provided by the university of Waikato) shown in Figure 3 indicates the overall geology of the Hamilton basin area.

12 Figure 3. Overall General geology of the Hamilton Basin 6.2 STRATIGRAPHY The subsurface conditions encountered have been interpreted from the shallow test pits, the machine borehole and the inferred Soil Behaviour Types (SBT) 5 obtained from the CPT data. The logs and SBT plots have been attached to Appendix B and Appendix C. In general the subsurface conditions encountered comprised of nonengineered fill overlying the Tauranga Group consistent with the published geological information. Two geological cross sections for the site have been produced and attached in Appendix A. A more detailed description of each of these deposits is given below. Non Engineered Fill Fill was encountered in all of the test pits and within the machine borehole. The fill was generally around 1.2m in depth. However, in localised areas the fill ranged in depths between 0.75 to 1.8mbgl. The fill comprised of asphalt, fine to coarse grained sand, gravel, and silt with organic inclusions. The gravel was generally medium to coarse, angular to sub-angular in shape. The silt was generally non-plastic to slightly plastic. Localised moderately plastic silt was encountered in TP101 due to localised clayey material. 5 Robertson, P.K Soil classification using the cone penetration test. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 27 (1), Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

13 No testing was carried out within this layer. However, inferred correlations from CPT data indicates: Medium dense granular fill with a relative density generally around 40 to 60%. Shear strength of the fine grained material 50 to 150kPa. Tauranga Group Deposits The fill layer was underlain by sands and silts with interbedded thin clayey layers. Finer grained material was more prominent in the upper 3.7m of the soil profile. Samples taken at 1.5 and 4.5m for lab testing indicate highly plastic clay and silt or organic clay / silt with a high liquid limit (results in Appendix C). The machine borehole shows that the sand below this depth is generally coarser. It should be noted that localised peat was encountered in TP105. The CPT data and the shear vane testing indicate that fine grained material was generally firm to stiff, with shear strength generally between 40 and 100kPa. The SPT testing and relative density correlations obtained from the CPT data indicate a relative density is generally between 30 to 50%, signifying medium dense alluvial deposits. 7.0 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS A groundwater table reading was taken 30 minutes after the completion of the sonic borehole drilling to allow the groundwater level to equalise after drilling. On 24 July 2017 the groundwater level was measured at 4.1mbgl within BH1. CPT pore pressure data indicates at around 5 to 6 mbgl the pore pressures become positive. None of the test pits carried out on site encountered groundwater. A conservative ground water level of 3.0mbgl was adopted for geotechnical analysis purposes.

14 8.0 DISCUSSION 8.1 INTERPRETATION OF GEOLOGICAL MODEL Geological cross section models of Sections A-A and B-B are shown in sketch no #GE SK-02 Rev 0 in Appendix A. Recommendations and opinions in this report are based on the investigation described herein. The nature and continuity of the subsoil conditions away from the investigation locations are inferred and it must be appreciated that the actual conditions could vary from the assumed model. 8.2 INTERPRETATION OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES Moderately conservative effective soil parameters were inferred from strength data presented on attached test pit logs, machine borehole and CPT data. Adopted parameters are presented on the Table 1 below. Table 1: Adopted Soil Parameters Layer Friction Angle, φ ( ) Unit Weight, γ (kn/m3) Non Engineered Fill Tauranga Deposits Note the recommended cohesion is 0 due to the depositional process resulting in the majority of the profile comprising of non-cohesive material. 8.3 EARTHWORKS Should earthworks be required to form a level building platform or form overland flow paths, it should be carried out in accordance with the following documents: New Zealand Standard Code of Practice for Earthfill for Residential Development, NZS Land Development and subdivision Engineering NZS4404:2004. Hamilton City Council Technical Publications. Cut and full slopes are unlikely to exceed 1v:4h. Any fill placed should be appropriately monitored and tested during placement and compaction and its suitability for final residential development confirmed by way of a Statement of Professional Opinion by a suitably qualified Geotechnical Engineer.

15 greater than 600 mm depth should be assessed by a Geotechnical Engineer familiar with the contents of this report. 8.4 SETTLEMENT POTENTIAL Consolidation settlements (comprising of primary and secondary creep settlements) for the proposed development over a 50 year period under static loading were assessed from CPT data using the software package CPeT-IT 6. Predicted settlement calculations for two example foundation types are attached in Appendix D. A summary of the results is given below in Table 2. Table 2: Predicted Consolidation Settlements. Foundation Type* Loading applied (kpa) Total Settlement ** (mm) Isolated Pad Footing (3.0m x 3.0m) to 25 Raft Foundation (74.2m x 74.2m) to 25 *The foundations are embedded at a depth of 0.6mbgl for these calculations. **CPeT-IT indicated settlements less than 10mm. However, based on hand calculations and allowing for some soil variation we recommend allowing for quoted settlements. 8.5 SITE SEISMIC CLASSIFICATION In accordance with NZS the site should be classified at Site Class D (Deep or Soft Soils). The reasons for this classification are: The depth to rock is expected to be considerable (a hydrocarbon investigation well at Te Rapa measured alluvium depth at around 600m), which excludes Classes A, B and C The soils are generally denser than would be required for Class E. 8.6 LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL Assessment of liquefaction susceptibility was carried out in general accordance with New Zealand Geological Society and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Guidance 7. The assessment comprised screening procedures 6 Geologismiki Geotechnical Software, CPTeT-IT v CPT Assessment Software. 7 Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, 2016: Module 3 Identification and mitigation of liquefaction hazards. Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

16 based on evaluation of geological and compositional criteria. Our geotechnical investigation indicated that the site is underlain by young alluvial deposits, which can be susceptible to liquefaction. The compositional criteria indicates that under seismic loading soils can behave in two ways; in a sand like manner (i.e potentially subject to classic liquefaction), or clay like behaviour. The compositional criteria can be assessed in two ways; using CPT Data, and laboratory testing. With CPT data the soil SBT plots can be used. soils are assumed to be clay-like if the soil behaviour index (Ic) is greater than 2.6 and sand-like where Ic < 2.6. We tested three samples from BH1 to assess the composition of the alluvial deposits. The results of the lab testing indicated that the fine grained samples taken at 1.5 and 4.5mbgl were generally not susceptible to liquefaction as their Plasticity Index is greater than 12. The granular sample taken at 3.0mbgl is susceptible to liquefaction. Due to the susceptibility to liquefaction an assessment of the earthquake-induced free field settlements was carried out in accordance with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Guidance 8 and using propriety liquefaction assessment software 8. The results are outlined in Figure 4, which indicates the expected relationship between Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and settlement for the five CPT positions. Relevant design earthquake scenarios are the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and the Ultimate Limit State (ULS). Using the procedure outlined in the MBIE guidance 8 for an Importance Level 2 structure and Class D subsoil site, the calculated peak ground acceleration for an SLS and ULS is 0.06g and 0.22g respectively. Figure 4 indicates that free field settlement is not expected to occur at SLS loading. For a ULS event, expected settlements are 5 to 130mm. The 5mm estimate is associated with the shallow refusal of CPT4, which may not be representative of the site. Excluding the data from CPT4 ULS settlements were predicted to be around 60 to 130mm. By limiting our analyses to the upper 10m (in accordance with the MBIE Guidance), the estimated liquefaction-induced free-field settlement Index values under the ULS event are around 30 to 60mm. Figure 4 excluded CPT4 from the Index assessment because it refused before a 10m depth. Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

17 SLS ULS Figure 4: Estimated free-field ground surface liquefaction reconsolidation settlements. The results of our liquefaction assessment have been attached to Appendix E. The results indicate that under SLS event liquefaction is not triggered. Under ULS loading conditions, isolated layers with relatively low density between approximately 3.0m (earthquake groundwater level) and 21.0mbgl have the potential to liquefy. The crust of non-liquefiable soil near the surface will reduce the potential damage to surface foundations. However, we recommend that foundations for the project should be designed in accordance with recommendations for liquefiable soils. A raft or mat foundation will be the most appropriate to spread loading and deformation over localised areas with higher settlement. If isolated pad footings were considered, they should be well tied together to limit relative lateral movement. 8 Geologismiki Geotechnical Software, Cliq v CPT Liquefaction Assessment Software.

18 8.7 PAVEMENTS Based on our experience in this area we consider that for the design of roads and car parking a CBR of 3 can be used for preliminary design for in-situ soil and certified fill. It is however recommended that once earthworks is complete that confirmatory Scala penetrometer tests are carried out along the proposed roads and car parks areas to confirm the design CBR value for design. 8.8 RETAINING WALLS Should a retaining wall be required or there is a change in the proposed development that requires a retaining wall, the following recommendation have been given in this section. For the preliminary design of permanent retaining walls we recommend that the following parameters are adopted for in-situ soil. Unit Weight 17.5 kn/m³ Soil Friction Angle 29 Drained Cohesion 0 kpa In determining the active and passive pressures on the retaining wall, the designer should carefully consider effects of the toe slope, back slope and surcharges on the wall. The passive and active pressure can be derived from the provided friction angle. Furthermore, due to the depositional process of the soil, we have not provided an undrained shear strength, as the majority of the soil profile comprises granular material, the retaining wall should be design under drained conditions. The designer should also consider temporary works that may be required to construct the wall based on the selected type. We also recommend that the alignment of proposed services should, as far as practical, run perpendicular to any existing or proposed retaining wall to limit potential for local instability during construction. 8.9 FOUNDATIONS Considering the potential for liquefaction under a ULS earthquake event, we recommend that foundations within the proposed lot comprise of a shallowly embedded stiff raft (possibly a ribbed raft) founded a minimum of 600 mm below adjacent finished ground levels. It is anticipated that uncontrolled fill is present at this depth. This material may be unsuitable for founding on and we recommend that Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

19 further site verification be carried out using DPC testing after excavating to foundation depth to confirm the condition of the fill. Deposits of very loose/soft, organic, unsuitable material encountered at founding level should be removed to expose competent ground and replaced with either compacted GAP65 or 40 hardfill. Shallow foundations may be designed having a Geotechnical Ultimate Bearing Capacity of 300kPa under static loading. Alternatively piles (most likely driven) founded within the non-liquefiable material (encountered at a depth of 21.0mbgl) could be used to support structural loading of the building. We recommend that a Geotechnical Ultimate End Bearing Capacity of 1,000 kpa be adopted, with side frication of 50kPa in the non-liquefiable material. The effects of liquefaction could however cause significant down-drag and lateral pile loading which would need specific detailed analysis and design. We note however that a deep foundation system is likely far more costly than shallow foundations. In accordance with the New Zealand Building Code a strength reduction factor of 0.5 and 0.8 for static and seismic load cases respectively should be applied to the ultimate capacities given above. The Hamilton Council Plans indicate that there is a sewer and storm water line present beneath the building platform. Council recommends bridging over the service lines as not to load them. However, this would require piles extending to a depth of 21.0mbgl beneath the potential liquefiable material, which is not economical. We recommend that these existing services are removed and relocated due to the risk of ground settlement under ULS loading. The relocated services should be beyond the proposed building footprint so that the loading of the proposed structure does not influence the sewer and storm water line. 9.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the fieldwork covered by this investigation it is considered that the site is suitable for commercial development in accordance with the proposed earthworks and subject to the recommendations contained within this report. Geotechnical Assessment Report Page Geotechnical Assessment Report.doc

20 10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the fieldwork covered by this investigation it is considered that the site is suitable for commercial development in accordance with subject to the recommendations contained within this report. A summary of the recommendations is given below: For detailed design the recommendations must be read in conjunction with the relevant preceding sections where the subject is considered in greater detail. It is recommended that all earthworks are carried out in accordance with NZS 4431:1989 Code of Practise for Residential Development and in particular that cut and fill slopes do not exceed 1v:4h. In our opinion the consolidation settlements are within tolerable limits. In accordance with NZS the site should be classified at Site Class D. Under an SLS seismic event liquefaction is not triggered. Under ULS loading the predicted liquefaction induced free field settlement in the upper 10m of the soil profile is in the order of 30 to 60mm. For road and car park design it is recommended that a CBR of 3 for the in-situ residual soil be used for preliminary design. It is recommended that confirmatory Scala penetrometer tests are carried out along the proposed roads and car park areas to confirm the design CBR value during the proposed works. For retaining wall and pole retaining wall design it is recommended that the design parameters given in section 8.8 of this report are adopted for preliminary design of the residual soils and certified fill for the case of horizontal ground surface above and below the wall. For sloping ground surfaces the design parameters need to be reassessed taking into account the actual finished ground surface using an effective friction angle of 30 degrees. Shallow stiff raft foundation is recommended and should be designed using a geotechnical ultimate bearing capacity of 300kPa. If deep piles are used they should extend beyond the liquefiable material to a depth of 21.0mbgl where a Geotechnical Ultimate Bearing End Capacity of 1000 kpa and a shaft capacity of 50 kpa within the non-liquefiable material may be adopted. Existing services running below the proposed building footprint should be removed and relocated beyond the footprint with the void filled with controlled fill.

The following symbols are used to represent the condition of the samples. standard penetration undisturbed disturbed remoulded sample / solid nose SPT test no recovery rock core Type (and sample number) The type of sample and its sequential number is indicated in this column as follows: A auger sample P piston tube sample B block or bulk sample S standard penetration test (SPT) sample D disturbed sample (eg. open barrel core) T thin-walled tube sample J jar sample W wash or air return sample GW ground water sample O other (see text) Disturbed soils samples are transported and stored in plastic bags. Machine borehole disturbed samples are transported and stored in core boxes. Tube samples are sealed with plastic bags in the field and with wax on return to the laboratory.

30 EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND SYMBOLS This refers to the particular drilling/sampling technique: Recovery HA hand auger TU push-tube HD hand dug SSA solid stem machine auger HSA hollow stem machine auger SPT standard penetration test EX hydraulic excavator SP scala penetrometer OB open barrel TT triple tube PP pneumatic percussion WD wash drill VAC vacuumed SD sonic vibration drilling This column gives the sample recovery as a percentage of the sampled length for open barrel and triple tube core runs, and also split spoon SPT tests. If nothing is shown, the sample recovery was not measured. 8. TEST RESULTS Penetration Resistance The Penetration Resistance is the number of blows required to drive either a 50mm (outside diameter) open end spilt spoon or Raymond sampler the final 300mm of a 450mm penetration using a 64kg weight falling 760mm. The number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 300mm is referred to as the N value. The test is referred to as the Standard Penetration Test or SPT. The number of blows for each 150mm penetration of the test, or part-penetration when driving is terminated due to hard ground, are given in the Other Tests column, e.g. 15, 36, 46 for 55mm would indicate 15 blows for the first 150mm, 36 blows for the second 150mm and 46 blows for a further 55mm penetration and a N value of greater than 50 would be reported. In some cases a solid steel 60º cone is used for this test (a solid nose Standard Penetration Test). For these cases the penetration resistance is reported as an S value is reported in this column. Water Content and Atterberg Limits The moisture or water content, plastic limit and liquid limit of the recovered soil sample, as determined in the laboratory in accordance with the test procedures set out in NZS4402, is plotted against depth. The abbreviations and graphic symbols are defined as follows: w natural moisture content w P plastic limit + w L liquid limit Other Tests The following abbreviations are used to indicate the type of test undertaken: COM Compaction Test pp Pocket penetrometer strength *CON Consolidation test *Q Consolidated undrained triaxial test G Specific gravity or solid density of particles qu Unconfined compressive strength k Permeability coefficient *SB Shear box test LS Linear shrinkage SP Scala penetrometer OC Organic content *ST Swelling test *PSD Particle size distribution SV Vane shear strength: (U) undisturbed (R) remoulded *These tests are usually summarised separately. 9.
