After certain tests on the soil, as detailed below, the desired recommendations have been made on page 3 of this Report. 2. FIELD WORK ‘The fieldwork consisted of sinking bore holes, collecting soil samples and conducting the necessary field tests. 2.1. Boring Taking guidance from IS: 1892, 150 mm diameter bore holes were sunk at locations shown in the bore hole location map. 2.2 Sampling 2.2.1 Undisturbed Soil Samples Open drive samplers of 100-mm diameter and about 450-mm length were used for obtaining undisturbed samples of cohesive soils. The collection, sealing, labeling and transportation of the samples to the laboratory were done as per the IS guide-lines. 2.2.2 Disturbed Soil Samples Disturbed soil samples were collected at suitable intervals of depth (not more than 2.5 m) and at all depths of change in the nature of the subsoil. These samples were sealed in polythene bags with proper identification labels. 2.3 Field Tests 2.3.1 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) These tests were conducted as per IS: 2131 - 1963. The depth interval between two consecutive tests was 1 to 1.5 m. The tests were located in between the levels at which undisturbed soil samples were collected.

LABORATORY TESTS Some or all of the following laboratory tests, as necessary, were done on the collected ‘soil samples. Representative soil samples were selected for this from the different soil strata encountered during boring. The tests were performed as per the relevant Indian Standard Codes of Practice. {a) Natural moisture content (b) Bulk density (c) Grain size analysis (using sieves and / or hydrometer) (d) Specific gravity of soil solids (c) Atterberg’s limit tests (liquid, plastic and shrinkage limits) (9 Shear Tests : * [I] Triaxial compression test (unconsolidated - undrained), generally for fine- grained soils + [ll] Unconfined compression tests, only on cohesive soils + [Il] Direct shear tests, generally for coarse-grained soils (h) Other tests as and when required. 4. PRESENTATION OF TEST RESULTS ‘The field and laboratory test results are given in the Appendix B. 5. SOIL STRATIFICATION The five bore holes, of 10.5 m depth each, sunk at the site and the results of field and laboratory tests conducted on the collected soil samples indicate that the soil stratification at the site is as describe below. The sub soil is clayey silt of types MI/ML up to about 4.0 m depth below GL [except in BH 2, where it is up to about 2.5 m depth[, followed by silty clay of types CI/CL up to the investigated depth of 10.5 m below GL. Water table was struck at about 2.0 m to 2.4 m below GL in January, 2014. 6. FOUNDATION ANALYSIS ‘The safe capacity of foundation of any type and size may be determined on the basis of the soil data given in this Report by using the standard methods of foundation design and following the relevant Indian Standard Codes.

RECOMMENDATIONS Construction of bored cast in situ plane or u/r pile may not be practicable due to the presence of silt layers. Hence they are not recommended in the present case. Therefore, the proposed structure may be provided with shallow foundations [rectangular or square]. The values of net allowable bearing pressures of foundations of certain sizes have been calculated [vide sample of Calculation in Appendix - F] and are tabulated below.
