3.0 METHODOLOGY
OBJECTIVE
3.1 Geotechnical investigation was planned to obtain subsoil stratification in proposed
project area and collect soil, rock and ground water samples for laboratory testing to
determine engineering properties such as shear strength, compressibility, along with basic
soil classification of subsurface stratum.
3.2 Locations of boreholes were selected in consultation with client. Data and results
obtained from this investigation will be used in design of foundation of proposed project.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
3.3 For geotechnical investigation work, standard rotary type drilling rig was used. This
rig is coupled with diesel engine and has tripod and all drilling accessories. Drilling rig
deployed is suitable for and has arrangement for driving as well as extracting casing, boring
drilling by mud circulation method, conducting Standard Penetration Test (SPT) collection of
Undisturbed Soil Sample (UDS) and Disturbed or wash Soil Sample (DS).
3.4 Drilling rig was installed at each specified borehole location. Rig was stabilised by
making level ground. Initially casing of adequate diameter to suit boring of 100 mm hole was
lowered and boring was commenced.
3.5 Sampling in each borehole was carried out generally as per the guidelines given in
the IS code. Undisturbed soil samples were to be collected and SPTs were conducted at
regular intervals. Undisturbed soil samples were not collected as cohesive stratum is stiff in
consistency.
3.6 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were conducted in boreholes to obtain SPT ‘N’
values i.e. no. of blows of 63.5 kg hammer falling through 75 cm, required to penetrate 30
cm of SPT split spoon. This test was conducted as per IS-2131. SPT ‘N’ values are
correlated with the relative density of non-cohesive soils and consistency of saturated
cohesive soils. This test also collected samples in the split spoon assembly, which are
treated as disturbed samples. SPTs were taken @ 1.00 m to 1.50 m interval.
3.7 SPT ‘N’ values are co-related with relative density of non-cohesive stratum and with
consistency of cohesive stratum. Co-relations are tabulated below.

Geotechnical Investigation Report
3.8 When rock was encountered, size of borehole was changed to Nx (76 mm) diameter.
A core barrel and Nx sized bits are used for drilling and recovering rock cores. Recovered
rock cores were numbered serially and preserved in good quality sturdy wooden core boxes.
Rock core recovery and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) were computed for every run
length drilled. Rock samples have been selected based on the probable founding elevation
of the proposed structure.
3.9 Rock classification in terms of weathering and state of fractures and strength is
carried out in the following manner. Tabulations given in below explain it briefly.
SCALE OF WEATHERING GRADES OF ROCK MASS
Terms Description Grade Interpretation
Fresh No visible sign of rock material weathering; perhaps slight I CR > 90 %
discoloration on major discontinuity surfaces.
Slightly Discoloration indicates weathering of rock material and II CR between 70
discontinuity surfaces. All the rock material may be discoloured
Weathered by weathering.
% to 90 %
Moderately Less than half of the rock material is decomposed or III CR between 51
disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discolored rock is present either
Weathered % to 70 %
as a continuous framework or as corestones.
Highly More than half of the rock material is decomposed or IV CR between 11
disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discolored rock is present either
Weathered % to 50 %
as a discontinuous framework or as corestones
Completely All rock material is decomposed and / or disintegrated to soil. V CR between
The original mass structure is still largely intact.
Weathered zero to 10 %
Residual Soil All rock material is converted to soil. The mass structure and VI CR = Zero %
material fabric are destroyed. There is a large change in
volume, but the soil has not been significantly transported.

Geotechnical Investigation Report
3.10 It should be understood that all grades of weathering may not be seen in a given rock
mass and that in some cases a particular grade may be present to a very small extent.
Distribution of the various weathering grades of rock material in the rock mass may be
related to the porosity of the rock material and the presence of open discontinuities of all
types in the rock mass.
3.11 ‘Interpretation’ in above table has been done by Author of this report based on his
understanding of above table & experience and is NOT a part of original table and
observation of entire of rock mass instead of individual rock pieces.
3.12 Rock quality is further measured by frequency of natural joints in rock mass. Rock
Quality Designation (RQD) is used to define state of fractures or massiveness of rock.
Following table defines the quality of rock mass.
RELATION BETWEEN RQD AND IN-SITU ROCK QUALITY
RQD CLASSIFICATION RQD (%)
Excellent 91 to 100
Good 76 to 90
Fair 51 to 75
Poor 26 to 50
Very Poor 00 to 25
3.13 Rock is also classified by strength of intact rock cores collected during drilling. Rock
compressive strength (UCS) is used to define strength of rock. Following table summarizes
classification of rock based on strength.
CLASSIFICATION OF ROCK WRT COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
ROCK STRENGTH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (MPA)
Extremely weak < 2.00
Very Weak 2.00 to 10.00
Weak 10.01 to 25.00
Average 25.01 to 50.00
Strong 50.01 to 100.00
Very Strong 100.01 to 250.00
Extremely Strong > 250.00

lower values of 63, 67 & 68. These values of rock core recoveries show slightly weathered
condition of rock mass. Rock quality designation values are from 20 to 90 percent. These
values indicate fair to good state of fractures in rock stratum. Six rock core samples selected
from this stratum were tested in laboratory. Reported saturated crushing strength values on
six rock core samples are from 7.35 to 21.97 MPa. These values indicate that rock is
average in strength. Other test results are as below.

Saturated Crushing Strength MPa 7.35, 12.11, 20.28, 9.25, 10.68, 21.97
4.9 Water level fluctuations due to seasonal variations, amount of rainfall, runoff and
other factors were not evident at the time of fieldwork. Trapped or “perched” water could
occur within the fill materials and/or above low permeability soil and rock layers. Water level
fluctuations and perched water may be considered while developing design and construction
drawings and specifications for the project.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
4.10 Five water sample collected from boreholes was analysed chemically in the
laboratory. Following results are reported.
‘pH’ Value 7.74, 7.62, 7.16, 7.24, 7.06 Alkaline Water
Sulphates (ppm) 50, 50, 100, 100, 150 Class I /Table IV/IS 456
Chlorides (ppm) 20, 10, 20, 20, 30 Less than 500 ppm/Table 1/IS 456
Results of chemical analysis indicate that water is not aggressive to concrete and not
corrosive to reinforcement steel.

Geotechnical Investigation Report
5.1 M/s Unnathi Estate, Thane have proposed redevelopment of building 54, 55 & 56 at
Vartak Nagar, Thane (W). Proposed building will be RCC framed structure having stilt plus
up to twenty nine upper floors.
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
5.2 Foundation system designed for proposed structure shall satisfy two following
independent criteria.
1. Foundation design shall have adequate factor of safety with respect to shear strength of
foundation stratum.
2. Vertical deformation (settlement) caused by loading intensity on foundation stratum shall be
within permissible limits of the structure. These criteria shall also ensure that magnitude of
differential settlement between any two adjoining columns must remain within tolerances. So
that finishing of proposed structures does not show distress.
FOUNDATION SYSTEM
5.3 Top stratum of subsoil profile is overburden soil. This stratum is present in all
boreholes. Thickness of this stratum is 4.50 m in BH 1, 3.00 m in BH 2, BH 3, BH 4 and 1.00
m in BH 5. Engineering properties of this stratum cannot be determined reliably. Therefore,
foundations shall not be placed in this stratum.
5.4 This stratum is followed by yellow stiff silty clay. This stratum is present only in BH
5. Thickness of this stratum is 2.60 m in BH 5. This stratum is present only in one borehole
and has very limited thickness. Therefore, foundations shall not be placed in this stratum.
5.5 This stratum is followed by completely weathered rock. This stratum is present in
BH 3, BH4 and BH 5. Thickness of this stratum is 1.00 m in BH 3 & BH 4 and 0.40 m in BH
5. This stratum has variable thickness and placing footing foundations in this stratum likely
cause differential settlement. Therefore, foundations shall not be placed in this stratum.

Geotechnical Investigation Report
5.7 To evaluate safe bearing capacity of highly & moderately weathered Basalt, rock
mass rating value was determined. Average rock mass properties were considered to
determine RMR value as per IS 13365 (part I). RMR rating value of highly & moderately
weathered Basalt for given condition is 10 & 44 respectively. Using this value and referring
to Table 8 of IS 12070-1987, net safe bearing capacity value works out to be 425 kN/m2 &
1503 kN/m2 respectively. RMR computation is enclosed with this report. Considering 10 mm
permissible settlement of foundations, modulus of sub grade reaction value also calculated
as 42500 kN/m2/m & 150000 kN/m2/m.
5.8 Recommended founding depths and net SBC value are tabulated as below.
Foundations shall be placed minimum 50 cm in rock stratum.
Option 1- Raft Foundation : Founding stratum - Highly Weathered Basalt
Modulas of Subgrade
Borehole Minimum Founding Net Safe Bearing
Reaction
No Depth (m) Capacity kN/m2 (T/m2)
(kN/m2/m)
BH 1 5.00 425 (42.50) 42500
BH 2 3.50 425 (42.50) 42500
BH 3 4.50 425 (42.50) 42500
BH 4 4.50 425 (42.50) 42500
BH 5 4.50 425 (42.50) 42500
5.9 It will be necessary to place footing of entire structure on rock of similar quality to
ensure uniformity of foundation stratum and compatibility of deformation. It will be desirable
that structural engineer inspects founding stratum to confirm that there are no soft pockets in
the footing plan area before placing PCC.
5.10 To account for variation in founding depth thus achieved, only PCC or plum concrete
of design strength recommended by structural consultant shall be used make good the
difference between founding stratum and bottom of raft foundation at founding depth.

Subject : Safe Bearing Capacity by RMR Method Highly Weathered Basalt
To determine net safe bearing pressure of rock stratum, strength of rock core alone is not used.
Overall characteristics of rock mass which are covered by five parameters such as Rock Quality
Designation value, Spacing of Discontinuty, Condition of Discontinuity and Ground Water Condition
are studied and used to calculate net safe bearing pressure of rock mass instead of rock core.
Average rock mass parameters as obtained from boreholes are used below.
SETTLEMENT CALCULATIONS
Settlement can be calculated using elastic theory by adopting appropriate values for modulus of
elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of the rock mass. Magnitude of settlement is calculated using following
equation;
qsB(1-2) (Reference : Duncan C Wyllie,
= Cd Foundations On Rock, equation No
Where, E 5.18, page No 129)
δ = Settlement of foundation For calculating Young’s modulus, relation given by Serafim-
qs = Safe bearing pressure Pereira (1983) is used.
B = Width/diameter of foundation E = 10(RMR-10)/40 GPa
µ = Poisson’s ratio E = 1000000 kN/m 2
E = Young’s Modulus Poisson’s ratio (μ) = 0.25 (J E Bowles, Foundation Analysis and
Design, 5th edition, Table 2-7, Page
Cd = Shape (influence) factor No 123)
Considering square footing,
Width of Foundation (B) = 6.00 m Therefore, H/B = 0.75
Depth of Foundation (H) = 4.50 m L/B = 1.00
Shape Factor, Cd = 0.62 (Duncan C Wyllie, Foundations On Rock, Table 5.5, page No 131)
