Abstract
In conjunction with a construction project in Singapore, the soil properties of Sajahat Formation were studied using both field and laboratory tests.. Few studies were carried out for soil in Sajahat Formation as it was rarely encountered in the past. The tests carried out were pressuremeter tests and a series of laboratory tests including physical properties, oedometer, isotropically consolidated triaxial tests under different drainage conditions and direct simple shear tests. The mechanical properties of the soil studied included consolidation history, undrained shear strength, effective cohesion and friction angle, stiffness, and stress-strain behavior of the soil in the Sajahat Formation. The geology of the Sajahat Formation was also studied using dating tests.
