1.6 METHODOLOGY OF FIELD INVESTIGATION:
The field exploration methods, sampling requirements, types and frequency of field tests are
performed based on project design requirements. Accordingly, we have developed the overall
investigation plan which enables us to obtain the data needed to define subsurface conditions and
perform Engineering analysis and design.
1.6.1 Boring:
Drilling of boreholes was carried out at specified locations to obtain information about the
subsoil profile, its nature, strength and also to collect soil samples for strata identification and
conducting laboratory tests. The sequence of boring was planned after ascertaining preliminary nature
of subsoil profile. Boring is carried out as per the provisions given in IS: 1892-1979. The Borelog
results are presented in Annexure-A.
1.6.2 Sampling:
All the accessories used for sampling and the method of sampling adopted confirms to IS:
2132. All the disturbed and undisturbed samples collected in the field have been classified at the
site as per IS: 1498.
1.6.2.1 Disturbed Sampling (DS):
Disturbed soil samples were collected from bore holes at regular intervals to determine
the soil type, grain size distribution, Atterberg limits and soil classification.

ANALYSIS REPORT
Page 3
1.6.2.2 Undisturbed Sampling (UDS):
In each borehole, undisturbed samples are collected at every change of strata. Undisturbed
sampler tubes are made up of 100mm diameter, 450mm long MS tubes provided with sampler head
with ball check arrangement. Samples are collected in such a manner that the structure of soil and its
moisture content do not get altered. At few locations, the sampling tubes could not be pushed into
the soil because of hard consistency. The specifications for the accessories used for sampling and the
sampling procedure adopted conforms to IS:1892 and IS:2132. Undisturbed samples are used to
determine the shear parameters, natural moisture content and unit weight.
1.6.2.3 Transportation and Storage of Samples:
Undisturbed Samples are hand carried holding them in vertical. Shipping and storage was done
vertically in most of the situations. Samples are kept as near to ground temperature during shipping.
Samples are stored in a dark humid room having 90 - 94% humidity to prevent loss of moisture.
1.6.3 Standard Penetration Test (SPT):
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was conducted at different depths in all boreholes. For shallow
depths SPT was conducted at close intervals of 1.5m. SPT split spoon sampler of standard dimensions
was driven into the soil from borehole bottom using 63.5kg hammer falling from 75cm height. The SPT
weight was mechanically lifted to the specified height and allowed to free fall. Blow count for each of
three 15cm penetrations was recorded and the N is reported as the blows count for the last 30cm
penetration of the sampler leaving the first 15cm penetration as seating drive. When the number of
blows exceeded 50 to penetrate the first or second 15cm length of the Sampler, the SPT ‘N’ is regarded
as more than 100 as described in IS: 2131 - 1981. SPT refusal is recorded when there is no penetration
of the sampler at any stage and also when a rebound of the sounding system is recorded. Samples from
the SPT split spoon sampler was preserved in polythene covers and transported to the laboratory. One
more polythene cover was provided to prevent the loss of moisture during the transit.
The degree of denseness or looseness of natural deposited cohesionless soils can be measured
in terms of their relative density. SPT ‘N’ values are correlated with relative density of non -
cohesive stratum and with consistency of cohesive stratum.

1.10 GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT AND FOUNDATION FEASIBILITY
By observing the nature of subsurface strata, the type of foundation for a given proposed
structure, expected heavy loads on piers and abutment foundations, the following types of foundations
can be recommended.
a) Shallow Foundations
b) Deep/ Pile Foundations
For satisfactory performance of a foundation, the following criteria must be satisfied;
I. The foundation must not fail in shear.

II. The foundation should not settle by an amount more than the permissible settlement.
The smaller of the bearing pressure values obtained according to above (I) and (II), is adopted
as the allowable bearing capacity.
1.10.1 DEPTH OF FOUNDATION
1.10.1.1 Depth of Analysis:
For footing resting on multilayer deposits, weighted average or average of the ‘C’ and ‘Ø’
values upto a depth of ‘H’ = 0.5 B Tan (45 + Ø/2)

ANALYSIS REPORT
Page 6
1.10.1.2 Foundation in Soil:
A foundation must have an adequate depth from the considerations of adverse environmental
influences. It must also be economically feasible in terms of overall structure. Depth of foundation in
soil shall be decided as per Clause 705.2 of IRC 78 for open foundations and confirmed with clause 7 of
IS : 1904 for special cases like; where volume change/ scour is expected/ or when foundation is to rest
on sloping ground/ made or filled up ground/ frost action is expected etc.
1.11 OPEN/ SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS IN SOIL
The safe bearing capacity of soil is the net intensity of loading which the foundation will carry,
without undergoing settlement in excess of the permissible value for the structure under
consideration.
Bearing capacity for shallow foundations in soil has been analyzed with IS:6403-1981 which is
based on modified terzaghi classical approach.
1.11.1 Net Safe Bearing Capacity from Shear Consideration:
1.11.1.1 ForClay Soils(Φ=0):
The net ultimate bearing capacity immediately after construction on fairly saturated
homogeneous cohesive soils shall be calculated using following equation.
qd = C Nc Sc dc ic ; Where Nc = 5.14
The value of ‘C’ shall be obtained from unconfined compressive strength test or static cone
penetration test or triaxial shear (UU) test.
Alternatively Net ultimate bearing capacity can be determined by using the following equation;
qd = C Nc Sc dc ; Where qd = Net ultimate bearing capacity
A factor of safety of 2.5 is used
Considering Φ = 0, Nc = 5.14
Thus the equation is simplified as
q (net safe) = 1/ 2.5 *C*5.14 Sc dc
= 2.056 C Sc dc
1.11.1.2 For C–Φ soils:
1. For General shear:
Φ ≥ 36° and C ≥ 5 t/m2

qd = C Nc Sc dc ic + q ( Nq-1) Sq dq iq + 0.5 g B Ng Sg dg ig W '

ANALYSIS REPORT
Page 7
2. For Local shear:
Φ ≤ 28° and C ≤ 3 t/m2

qd = (2/3) c Nc Sc dc ic + q ( Nq-1) Sq dq iq + 0.5 B g Ng Sg dg ig W’
3. For Intermediate Shear:

Average or interpolate between Local and General Shear.
1.11.1.3 Reduction Factors:
 Determined Bearing Capacity Factors Nc , Nq, Nγ from Table 1 of IS : 6403-1981

 Shape factors Sc Sq Sγ from Table 2 of IS : 6403 - 1981
 Depth factors dc dq dγ from clause 5.1.2.2 of IS : 6403 - 1981
 Inclination factors ic iq iγ from clause 5.1.2.3 of IS : 6403 – 1981
1.11.2 Net Safe Bearing Capacity:
Net safe bearing capacity is obtained by dividing the above Net Ultimate bearing capacity by
the factor of safety of 2.5.

Net Safe Bearing Capacity = X Net ultimate bearing capacity
FOS
1.11.3 Determination of Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) from SPT 'N' value con- side rations
As there is neither undisturbed sample nor C, Φ values are available, but only N values
are available, Net Safe Bearing Capacity has been assessed based on SPT (N) values. Therefore the safe
bearing capacity of foundation soil at proposed founding depth based on corrected SPT (N) value is
determined using following theories.
I) Based on Terzaghi-Peck Theory:
qa = 3.35*cb*(N-3)*[B+0.3/2B]2*Wγ*dt
where,
qa = Allowable net increase in soil pressure (t/m2).

Cb = Correction Factor
N = Corrected SPT number
B = Width of footing (m)
wγ = Water table Correction Factor
dt = Depth Factor

1.12 PILE FOUNDATIONS
The total vertical load carrying capacity of pile foundation is a combination of skin friction
resistance along the surface and end bearing resistance at pile tip, when Piles are installed through
layered soils. The pile design in soft soils has relatively high skin friction resistance and granular
soils have high end bearing resistance. Generally piles resting on sound rock can be loaded to their safe
structural capacity. But for the piles resting on weathered rock it is necessary to provide Socketing
depth. In the present situation socketing depth has been considered based on IS 14593-1998,
Table 1 of Clause 6.5.1 and IRC 78-2014 amendments. The General practice of calculating Ultimate
Bearing capacity of pile socketed into the rock is of following categories:
a) Ultimate load capacity calculated from end bearing resistance only.

b) Ultimate load capacity calculated from skin frictional resistance only.
c) Ultimate load capacity calculated from combination of both skin friction & end bearing
resistance.
d) Ultimate load capacity calculated from end bearing resistance and ultimate side socket shear in
case of piles resting on rock.
IRC: 78– 2014 amendments suggests the following methods for calculation of pile capacities
1.12.1 Capacity of Piles in Intermediate Geo-material and Rock:
The ultimate load carrying capacity may be calculated from one of the two approaches
given below:
Where Cores of the rock can be taken and Unconfined Compressive Strength directly
established using standard method of testing, the approach described in Method 1 can be used. In
situations where RQD shows highly fragmented strata (which is not classified as granular or clayey
soils), the approach described in Method 2 (Cole and Stroud approach) can be used. Also for weak rock
like Chalk, mudstone, clay stone, shale and other intermediate rocks this method is preferred.
Method:1
where Qu = Re + R af =Ksp qc df Ab + AsCus
Qu = Ultimate Capacity of Pile socketed into rock in Newton
Re = Ultimate End Bearing
Ra = Ultimate Side Socket Shear

K = An Empirical Co-efficient whose value ranges from 0.3 to 1.2 as
per the table given below for the rocks where core recovery is
reported and cores tested for Uniaxial Compressive Strength.

ANALYSIS REPORT

(CR+RQD)/ 2 Ksp
30% 0.3
100% 1.2
CR = Core Recovery in %
RQD = Rock Quality Designation in %
For Intermediate values, Ksp shall be linearly interpolated.

qc = Average Unconfined Compressive strength of Core below base of
pile for a depth twice the diameter /least lateral dimension of
pile in Mpa.
Ab = Cross sectional area of base of Pile
df = Depth Factor = 1 + 0.4 Length of Socket/ Diameter of Socket.

However, value of df, should not be taken more than 1.2.
As = Surface area of Socket
Cus = Ultimate Shear strength along socket length = 0.225√qc
For calculation of Socket resistance the same should be restricted to 3 MPa.
Method: 2
This method is applicable when cores and /or core testing results are not available or when
geo-material is highly fragmented. The shear strength of geo-material is obtained from its correlation
with extrapolated SPT values for 300mm of penetration as given in table below.

1.12.2 Ultimate Capacity of Pile inSoils: (IS 2911 Part-1/sec-2)
The Ultimate capacity of Pile socketed into the Rock shall be calculated using following
equation.
Q u = Q ep + Q sf
Q u =(Ap*Cp*Nc+q*Nq+0.5*D*g*Ng)+ ((Σ K*PDi*tan δ) *( Asi+ α*C*As))

Nq, Nγ = Bearing Capacity factors depending on angle of internal friction 'Ø' at toe.
ϒ = Effective Unit weight of bearing soil layer
D = Diameter of the pile.
AP = Cross sectional area of base of pile.
K = Coefficient of earth pressure

1.12.2.1 Total Ultimate Safe Capacity of Pile:
Total Ultimate Safe capacity of the pile in rock is obtained from above ultimate capacity divided
by factor of safety of 3 for end bearing resistance and 6 for side socket shear resistance. Where as In
soils the total safe capacity is obtained by dividing the ultimate capacity with a factor of safety of 2.5

1.14 RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendations contained in this report are based on our field observations, subsurface
exploration, laboratory tests and some assumptions. It is possible that soil conditions could vary between
or beyond the points explored. If soil conditions encountered during construction differs from those
described herein, concerned person at construction is requested to notify the same immediately in order
that a review may be made and any supplementary recommendations be provided.
Since the design load of the Flyover will be heavier we have recommended pile foundation as it is
safer and also economical.
