13 4 14 Subsurface soil conditions at the site were investigated by 7 borings 15 drilled to depths ranging from 8 to 150 ft. at locations illustrated on 16 Fig. No. M1.

A cross section through the borings is shown in Fig. No. M2. 50 17 Detailed descriptions of the soils encountered are given on the boring logs 361.4 18 presented on Figures M3 through Figures M9. A key to the symbols and terms l9 appearing on the logs is included on Figure M10. 20 21 Bor#ngs were drilled with truck mounted drilling equipment. In the ulti-22 mate heat sink area, samples were obtained continuously to 20 ft or com-4 23 pletion depth, whichever was the lesser, 5-ft intervals to 100 ft and at 24 10-ft inter vals below 100 ft. Samples of cohesive soils were generally 25 obtained by alternating a 3-in. thin-walled tube and a 2-in, split-barrel. I 26 Most granular smspies were obtained with a 2-in. split-barrel. Driving i 27 *. resistances for the split-barrel sampler are recorded in the " Blows Per 28 Foot" column on the boring logs. Each of these samples was removed from 29 the sampler in the field and examined and classified by a soil technician. 30 Representative portions of each sample were sealed and packaged for trans-31 partation to the laboratory. 32 33 A Hvorslev-type stationary piston sampler, with a 3-in. thin-walled tube 34 was used to obtain undisturbed granular samples from Borings H-42A, H-43A 35 and H-44A. The tubes and soil were weighed immediately after sampling 36 to determine the undrained density of the soil. The sanples were retained 37 in the tube by using porous caps (to allow drainage) and transported to the 38 laboratory for further testing. Density result: :htain ed from the pistoc 39 samples are presented on Table M1. 40 41 Ihe depth to water in most borcholes was measured at least 24 hours af*.er 42 completion. The depths to water and the dates of observations are recorded 43 in the lower-right corner of the individual boring logs. In addition, four 44 piezometers were installed to monitor groundwater level; two were installed 45 in Boring H-44 to 10 and 25-ft depth and a similar installacion was done in 46 Boring H-48. 47 48 Test Pits 49 50 A test pit was excavated near each of the ultimate heat sink borings fo r 51 the purpose of visually examining the surface clays and in place density 52 testing and bulk sampling of the near surface sands. In place density 53 tests were nerformed at several depthe with a rubber balloon-densometer 54 2.5-M1 Am. No. 50, 1/15/79

Bulk samples were sealed for transportation to 03 the laboratory. 04 05 M3 LABORATORY INVESTICATIO_N_ 07 The laboratory program was directed towards evaluation of strength, com-08 pressibility and classification properties of the foundation soils, pri-09 marily of the slickensided clays. 10 50 11 Strength Tests 12 351.4 13 In order to estimate the undrained residual shear strength parameters of 14 the foundation soils, several repeat ed direct shear tests were performed 15 on two typical samples of the clay. These tests were conducted as con-16 solidated-undrained multiple-specimen type tests at incremental normal 17 stresses. The samples were strained forward and moved back manually in 18 the shear box several times until the minimum shear stress (residual 19 strength) was obtained for each load. Results are presented as Mohr's 20 diagram. Stress-strain curves are presented for the respective tests. 21 Figures No. M11 through M16 present the results. 22 23 Consolidated drained repeated direct shear tests were performed in accordance 24 with Appendix IXA of EM 1110-2-190 Engineering and Design, Laboratory Soils 25 Testing, Drained Repeated Direct Shear Test. This procedure includes pre-26 splitting samples and the repeated straining of them to simulate the drcined 27 ; strength along slickensided surfaces. Results are presented as Mohr's dia-28 grams. Stress-strain curves are presented for the respective tests on Figure 29 No. M17 through M19 preseet the results. 30 31 The shear strength properties of the near surface sands were estimated by 32 performing consolidated-drained triaxial tests. These tests were con-33 ducted on undisturbed sand samples obtained from a Hvorslev piston-type 34 s ampler. The results of these tests are presented as a Mohr's diagram on 35 Figure No. H20. 36 37 Density Tests 38 39 Modified Proctor (ASTM D 1557-70) and Maximum-Minimum Density 40 (ASE1 D 2049-69) tests were performed on eaa. bulk sample of granular 41 material. Maximum-Minimum density tests were performed by the dry method. 42 . Results of these tests are presented on Figure Nos. M21 through M25, and 43 Table M3 44 45 Consolidation and classification Tests 46 47 The compressibility characteristics of the foundation materials were 48 investigated by consolidation tests conducted on undisturbed cohesive 49 samples. Results are presented on Figure Nos. M26 through M30. 50 -51, Atterberg limit tests were performed for several samples to evaluate soil 52 plasticity and aid in soil identification. Grain-size analyses were per-53 formed on all Hvorslev and bulk samples and on sevetal other selected 54 granular smsples to aid in soil identification. 2.5-M2 Am. No. 50. 1/15/70

Borings H-37 through H-41 05 drilled in May 1977 provide additional data in the area of the causeway, 06 intake and basin area of the'1JHS. Figure No. 2.5.4-5C indicates the location 07 of all the borings in the UHS with the exception of the most recent borings. 08 09 16 DESIGN PARAMETERS - SHEAR STRENGTH 10 50 11 Several shear strength values are needed to completely define the strength 361.4 12 of the clay in the UHS under drained and undrained conditions. The pur-13 pose of this section is to discuss the different types of strength and 14 when each value is applicable. 15 16 Figure 2.5.6-26' of the PSAR indicates the undrained shear strength of the 17 recent flood plain clays with depth. The undrained shear strength ranges 18 from 0.5 ksf to 3.0 ksf with a lower bound average of 1.0 ksf for all depths. 19 20 Figure 2.5.6-27AA of the PSAR presents the Mohr circle results of triaxial 21 unconsolidated undrained tests on near surface samples of clay in the area 22 of the UHS. The undisturbed shear strength varies from 0.8 ks f to 1.9 ks f 23 with a lower bound average of approximately 1.0 ksf. 24 25 Figure 2.5.6-27AA also presents the Mohr circle results of the remolded un-26 consolidated undrained shear strength. The remolded strength was obtained 27

  • from samples kneaded, reshaped and retested. The values range from 0.4 ks f 28 '

to 3.8 ksf with an average value of 1.0 ks f. Based on this result the 29 undrained strength of the clay could be assigned a value of 1.0 ksf. This 30 includes in some way the effect of slickensided surfaces since the samples 31 were remolded. 32 33 Figures 2.5.6-27G, 27I and 27J of the PSAR present the Mohr circle results of 34 triaxial consolidated undrained triaxial tests with pore pressure measure-35 ments on undisturbed and remolded samples from the area of the 'JHS. The 36 total strength or undrained results from undisturbed samples shown on Figure 37 2.5.6-27G varies from 0.7 ksf to 1.2 ksf with an average of approximately 0.8 38 ks f. The remolded undrained strength shown on Figure 2.5.6-27G varies from 39 0.4 ks f to 2.4 ksf with an average of 1.0 ksf. 40 41 The effective strength or drained results from undisturbed sample shown on 42 . Figure 2.5.6-271 varies from &= 28 to &= 21 and C = 0 using the 43 maximum deviator stress as the peak and varies from &= 33 to & = 25 44 and C = 0.3 ksf using the maximum effective stress ratio as the peak. From 45 this data a conservative effective or drained strength would be & = 21 46 and C = 0.3 ksf. The samples presented on Figure 2.5.6-271 were recom-47 pacted to 90 pcf which is approximately 95% of the maximum density ob-48 tained using AS'Di D 698 as the base standard. The drained strength as 49 shown on Figure 2.5.6-27J veies from += 30 to &= 43 using the 50 maximum deviator stress as the peak and varies from += 30 to += 47 51 using the maximum ef fective stress ratio as the peak. Both of these 52 drained strengths are considerably greater than those shown on the 53 undisturbed samples in Figure 2.5.6-27I suggesting that the samples in 54 2.5-M4 Am. No. 50, 1/15/79

Therefore it would not be unreasonable to use 03 the drained strength from Figure 2.5.6-27I as the drained residual shear 04 strength of the UBS clays. 05 06 1igure Nos. M34 through M36 presents the results of unconsolidated undrained 07 triaxial tests on samples recently obtained in Boring H44. The stress 08 strain curves were carried out to 25% strain to develop the ordinary 09 residual undrained shear strength of the clays. The undisturbed strength 10 of the peak is approximately 1.5 ksf cimilar to that shown on' Figure 2.5.6-26, 11 2.5.6-27A and 2. 5.6-27G. The residual shear strength is 0.5 to 0.8 ksf 12 shown on the lower portion of Figure M34. This compares favorable with 13 the values from 2.5.6-27AA (remolded). 14 15 The lower bound average of shear strength for all the undrained undisturbed 50 16 shear strength samples is therefore 1.0 ksf for undisturbed samples and C = 361.4 17 C.5 ksf for a remolded sample. The lower bound of shear strength for all 18 the drained shear strength samgles is therefore &= 21, C = 0.3 ksf for 19 undisturbed samples and += 30 for a remolded sample. 20 21 At the NRC's consultants (WES) request tests were performed on presplit and 22 repeated direct shear samples. This dated is summarized on Figures Mil & 23 M12 for undrained condition and Figure M17 for drained conditions. The 24 lowest undrained residual strength is &= 8.5, C = 0.1 k*sf shown on Figure 25 M12. The lowest drained residual strength is &=9. As is the normal 26 case for this type of shear test there is practically no difference in 27

  • strength in drained or undrained. conditions suggesting that both tests 28 **

measure drained parameters. Therefore the absolutely lowest drained shear 29 strength is $=9 using the most critical test procedures, of Appendix 30 II A, EM 110-2-1906 of the Corps of Engineers. This value is extremely 31 conservative for use at Allens Creek since the clays at the site are 32 slickensided as a result of drying and shrinkage, not large scale move-33 ments. There are no large scale slickensided surfaces in the Allens Creek 34 clays, slickensides are approximately 1/4" in size, irregular and nonplanar. 35 Only large scale movements could result in the reduction to residual shear 36 strength values. At Allens Creek, as discussed in the following section, 37 large scale slope movements will not occur. 38 39 'two articles presented in the ASCE publication, Research Conference on 40 Shear Strength of Cohesive Soils, University of Colorado June, 1960 41 discuss the use of residual strength of saturated clay, Article 1. The 42-Physical Components of the Shear Strength of Saturated Clays by M Juul 43 Hvorslev indicates that the residual strength of some clays is attained 44 only after very large deformations and that the decrease in shear strength 45 after failure is primarily caused by a transient increase in pore water 46 pressure and a thixotropic loss in strength, which is regained in time upon 47 cessation of the deformations. This artical supports the statements 48 previously noted and indicates that the strength can be regained. Article 49 2, The Relevance of the Triaxial Test to the Solution of the Stability 50 Problems by Alan W. Bishop and Lauritus Bjerrum states that the presence 51 of fissures is reflected in the factors of safety obtained using the 52 effective stress analysis. Article 2 recommends that a factor of safety 53 of at least 1.0 be ensured. Table M5 attached presents the recommended 54 2.5-M5 Am. No. 50. 1/15/79

Discussions with WES indicated that they would like to see 03 a safety f actor of 1.25 for Class I slopes using the residual strength. 04 mile we believe that the design shear strength of f=9 and a safety 05 factor of 1.25 for effective stress conditions is very unrealistic as 06 . discussed above we will use ic in appropriate places in our analyses. 07 08 M7 STABILITY ANALYSES 09 10 Two representative cross-sections covering the various soil strata were 11 analyzed to determine the slope stability characteristics under different 50 12 conditions. Figure M2 indicates the cross-sections, designated E-E, UHS 361.4 13 Causeway and F-F, UHS Basin. Section D-D on Figure M2 indicates the dif-14 ferent soil strata, standard penetration test results and field descriptions. 15 16 The range of soil parameters used in the analyses are indicated in tables 17 for each cross-section. The parameters considered for the various cases are 18 consistent with the recommendations of Table M5 and developed as the result 19 of laboratory tests as noted in Section M3. Drained and undrained parameters 20 are used for static conditions including the consolidated drained repeated 21 direct shear test results from Figure No. M17. Undrained parameters are 22 used for rapid drawdown and dynamic analyses. At Allens Creek rapid draw-23 down can only occur from E1.118 to 100 as a result of loss of the Main Dam. 24 Below E1.100 the water is contained within the UHS basin and is recirculated. 25 A drained state of soil properties would be characteristic of a long term 26 static condition in which any buildup of pore pressures in the soil due to 27 construction is considered to be dissipated. The laboratory tests yielding ' 2 51 drained soil strength properties were therefore established to simulate this 29 field condition of normal water level pore pressures. An undrained soil 30 condition is one whereby the pore pressure in the soil has been built up as a 31 result of a quick load application as characterized by the water level rapid 32 drawdown or design seismic event. 33 34 Two methods of analysis, the simplified Bishop slip circle method and the 35 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sliding wedge method were used to investigate 36 the stability of all the slopes. 37 38 In performing the slip circle method of stability analysis the Ebasco 39 computer program was 'used. Tha method employed by the program, the sim-40 plified Bishop approach, is one in which a circular failure surface is 41 assumed to form about its center of rotation. The circle through the 42 slope is then divided into vertical slices and the tangential resisting 43 and driving forces along the circular surface are computed for each 44 slice. The factor of safety against sliding is computed as the ratio 45 of the sum of the resisting moments taken about the center of rotation 46 to the sum of the driving moments about the same center of rotation. 47 48 To use the program the slope geometry must be fully defined on a coordi-49 nate grid system along with changes in soil layers. The soil encountered 50 on the slope being analyzed must be fully defined with respect to its 51 saturated unit weight and shear strength. Water levels along the slope 52 must also be defined, whether it be in the form of freestanding water, 53 groundwater, or pore pressure built up within the soil. Finally, if 54 2.5-M6 Am.

The program 07 will investigate different radii from that center of rotation computing 03 and recording the safety factor for each radius. It then moves the cen-09 ter of rotation at a prescribed increment to a different trial location 10 and the above process is repeated until the lowest safety factor is 11 reached. 12 13 The simplified Bishop solution yields results that are conservative in 50 14 that shear resistance between slices, which would tend to raise the fac-361.4 15 tor of safety against sliding, is neglected. When the simplified Bishop 16 solution is used to compute a factor of safety under dynamic loading ad-17 ditional conservatism is built into the program in that the computed 18 safety factor is calculated assuming the components of the design earth-19 quake acceleration act only in one direction, neglecting any back and 20 forth motion, and the magnitude of the acceleration of the design earth-21 quake is taken to be a constant over the entire slope for an infinite 22 length of time. 23 24 In performing the sliding wedge method the Ebasco computer program was also 25 used. The sliding wedge method consists of an active wedge being mobilized 26 against a neutral horizontal block and a passive resisting wedge. The 27 = factor of safety is calculated as the ratio of the sum of the resisting 28 forces in the horizontal direction to the sum of the driving forces in the 29 horizontal direction. In applying the sliding wedge method to the two cross-30 sections the input data and search routine is similar to that of the slip 31 circle analysis previously discussed. This method also includes a seismic 32 loading in the analyses. This was done by including the product of the 33 weights of the wedges and the neutral block with the horizontal acceleration 34 faccor of 0.lg. This force was then considered to act in the direction of 35 the postulated slide as a driving force. The vertical component of the 36 seismic loading is also incorporated into the solution tending to reduce 37 frictional resistance between the sliding wedges.. This vertical seismic 38 force is computed as the product of the weights of the neutral block and 39 the wedges with the vertical acceleration factor of 0.067g. 40 41 The results of each of these analyses are presented on the tables on Figure 42 . M2. In all cases the actual safety factor exceeds the recommended minimum 43 safety factor from Table M5, indicating that the slopes are safe. 44 45 M8

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSIONS 46 47 The above described detailed investigation has accurately established the 48 soil conditions in the area of the ultimate heat sink at Allens Creek. The 49 continuous sampling in the upper soils and careful undisturbed sampling of 50 clays and sand establishes a sound basis for the selection of lower bound 51 strength samples. Selection of design strength parameters incorporated 52 the use of lower bound strength parameters from the test results, using 53 very conservative test procedures.
