2.2 Sampling
Sampling was carried out in such a way that reliable estimation of soil properties in each different
layer of soil is obtained.
2.2.1 Disturbed samples
Disturbed samples were collected during boring and from the split spoon sampler. The samples
recovered were logged, labeled and placed in polyethylene bags and sent to laboratory for testing.
2.2.2 Undisturbed samples
Undisturbed soil samples were collected in thin walled seamless stainless steel Shelby tubes as per
IS 2132. The UDS were collected at various depths in different boreholes to represent various
strata. The samples were sealed with paraffin wax, labeled and transported to our laboratory at
Gota, Ahmedabad for testing.
2.2.3 Standard penetration test
The standard penetration tests were conduct in accordance with IS: 2131-1981. The test results
show, N Value i.e. the blow counts of last 30 cm penetration of split spoon sampler when 63.5 kg
hammer is dropped from 75 cm height.
3.0 Laboratory Testing
The following table lists the laboratory tests conducted on soil samples collected from various
depths to find physical properties and strength characteristics.

services were provided. The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based upon
sub soil conditions inferred from site explorations, interpolation of the sub soil conditions between
exploration locations and extrapolation of sub soil conditions throughout the rest of site area. The
extent of investigation as well as specific exploration locations were dictated by the clients. The
findings and recommendations are further based on the assumption that the subsurface conditions
do not deviate appreciably from those reported and those assumed. The potential for encountering
conditions different from those considered can never be discounted. If different subsurface
conditions are encountered, if any, must be brought to our attention before execution and in a
timely manner so that the need for revised recommendations can be evaluated. In the event of
changes in design loads or in structural characteristics or in structure location or in construction
methodology, clients shall invariably review the adequacy and applicability of geotechnical
exploration findings reported herein, in consultation with us in a timely manner and shall get our
opinion before proceeding.

Notes :
1) The factor of safety of 2.5 is considered.
2) The depth of foundation is considered from the NGL at the time of exploration.
3) Calculations are considering the effect of water table at 1.5 m.
