GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND RECOMMENDATION FOR
FOUNDATION OF BRIDGE AT BORBOHA TO PUB KANDURA.

1. INTRODUCTION: Sub-soil investigation was carried out for the construction of proposed RCC
bridge. Two number of bore holes were made at the proposed site up to the depth of 26.0 metres. All
works beginning from field investigation, collection of samples, laboratory testing, and interpretation
of results were done as per pertinent code of practices.
The results are presented in a tabular or graphical form according to convenience.

2. FIELD WORKS:
The fieldwork involved boring, recording soil profile by visual observation, collection of
disturbed and undisturbed samples for laboratory test, undertaking standard penetration test etc.

3. STANDARD PENETRATION TEST:
The standard penetration test is done as per IS 2131-1963 on undisturbed soil at site by
hammering with a hammer of 65 Kg weight falling freely through a height of 75cm. The number of
blows required to push the sampler tube through 45cm length is counted. The reading of first 15 cm
distance is not counted towards standard penetration values and it is called as seating penetration. The
N values are shown in the borehole logs.

4. BORE HOLE LOG :
The bore hole log is numbered for identification of location and also shows the following:
(1) Date of boring.
(2) Ground water table The reading for the ground water table is taken after waiting for
sufficient time till the water level in the casing become stationary.
(3) Depth of different strata from ground level.
(4) Graphical representation of N-value.

5. LABORATORY TESTS ON SOIL SAMPLES:
The following laboratory tests are performed on soil samples according to their feasibility
(1) Grain size analysis for classification of soil.
(2) Specific gravity.
(3) Natural moisture content.
(4) Determination of unit weight
(a) Bulk (b) Dry
(5) Triaxial shear test.
(6) Unconfined compression test.
(7) Direct shear test

Summary of result:
1. Silt factor to be adopted =1.0
2. Submerged density below scour level = 1.01ton/m
3

3. Avg. cohesion c= 0.00kg/cm
2

4. Avg.Angle of shearing resistance below scour level = 30
