| Abstract | The MRT line No.2 from Nam Thang Long to Tran Hung Dao is a part of a UMRT construction project for Ha Noi city, financed with Japanese ODA loan. Total length of this section is 11.5km, of which 8.5 km is underground and 3 km is elevated railway, having double track with the gauge of 1,435 mm. The construction of the Nam Thang Long – Tran Hung Dao will be started in 2015 and expected to be completed in 2020. In this study, the data were collected from geotechnical soil investigation work and report conducted by TEDI NORTH and were processed and analyzed for detailed soil characterization along the UMRT line. First, a subsoil profile was completed, classified and constructed. It consist of following layers from the surface downward: layer 1 is filling soil, layer 2 is medium stiff to soft clay, layer 3 is stiff clay, layer 4 is very dense silty sand with gravel, layer 5 is medium silty sand, layer 6 is dense to very dense silty sand with gravel and layer 7 is poorly grade gravel. For clay layers, correlations between compression index, undrained shear strength and water content, void ratio and liquid limit were found. For the sand and clay layers, where sampling could not be done, some important parameters such as undrained shear strength, hydraulic conductivity were predicted using empirical analysis. |
