    The document describes the soil properties and parameters of different soil units found at a site. It includes the thickness, unit weight, shear strength parameters, compressibility, permeability and other properties. The soil units include river deposit, recent silt, Jolimont clay, upper and lower Fishermens Bend silt, Moray Street gravel, colluvium, and mudstone. Some parameter values are noted to need review and revision to be more realistic.

    * Value need to be reviewed. FBS is overconsolidated and above the Colluvium, so Colluvium is likely to have a higher value than FBS. ** Value need to be revised as using this value with low Su, in the insitu stage, the soil has failed. Either Su or Ko has to be revised to be more realistic.

    *** Value need to be reviewed. **** Permeability values need to be reviewed. They are assumed based on typical values.
