 REPORT ON SUB SOIL EXPLORATION
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
The investigation of the site is an essential prerequisite to the construction of all civil
engineering works with a view to assess the general suitability of the site for the proposed new
works and to enable in preparing an adequate and economic design.
In particular, it is necessary to assess the changes that may occur during or after the
construction of structure due to the choice of materials or methods of construction, which may
adversely affect safety of structure or after its performance or utility.
It is usually judicious to collect information relating to the site prior to commencing its
exploration. The exploration of the site for an important structure requires the exploration and
sampling of all strata likely to be significantly affected by the structural load. The extent of this
exploration will depend on the site and structure.
All structures rest on the foundation soil and their performance depends on soil behavior. Soil
forms the most widely used material of construction of earth dams, roads and canals. To study
the behavior of soil in foundation or earthwork engineering, properties of soil under the actual
field conditions have to be obtained.
Soil mechanics is the application of the laws of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering
problems dealing with sediments and other unconsolidated accumulation of solid particles
produced by the mechanical and chemical disintegration of rocks, regardless of whether or not
they contain an admixture of organic constituent.
Soil exploration provides the detailed sub soil conditions such as Stratification, Hardness &
Denseness of the strata, Water table level, Compressibility, Soil stability, Stress analysis,
Shearing resistance & Failure analysis.
This complete report is very much useful for …

Sieve analysis was performed by using IS sieves of size 4.75mm, 2.00mm, 0.425mm &
0.075mm & 0.002mm for obtaining particle size distribution i.e., Gravel, Sand & Silt +
Clay of Disturbed, Undisturbed & SPT samples. The grain size distributions are
tabulated under Table 9.2 indicating coarse, medium & fine grain & shown graphically
in Fig 10.3.
5.0 Analysis of data:
The field data and laboratory classification reveal stratification in general as given under.
5.1 Standard Penetration Resistance:
The SPT ‘N’ Values are range varies from 10 to 58 for 300mm which indicate stiff / very
stiff to hard consistency silty clay strata up to investigation depth. The average SPT N value
at foundation depth is worked out as 34. These are not corrected due to clayey strata. The

5.2 Laboratory Tests:
The laboratory tests were conducted on Disturbed and Undisturbed samples. The results
are given in Bore Logs. From the test results, following interpretations are made.
5.2.1 Dry Density and Moisture content:
The insitu dry unit weight of soil is needed for stability analysis, for the determination of
the degree of compaction, for evaluation of void ratio and thereby to find out degree of
saturation etc. Percentage moisture content ranges from 20 to 22%. It is compared with
Atterberg limits in Fig.10.2. The dry density ranges from 14.89 to 15.52kN/m3.
5.2.2 Atterberg Limits:
The liquid and plastic limits of soils are both dependent on the amount and type of clay in
a soil and from the basis for the soil classification system for cohesive soils based on the
plasticity tests. Besides their use for identification, the plasticity tests give information
concerning the cohesion properties of soil and the amount of capillary properties of soil
and the amount of capillary water, which it can hold.
The Liquid limit (WL) by cone penetrometer ranges from 48 to 85%.
The Plastic limit (Wp) ranges from 17 to 28%.
The Plasticity Index (Ip) ranges from 29 to 57%.
5.2.3 Specific Gravity:

It has application in finding out the degree of saturation and unit weight of moist soil. The
Specific Gravity is important parameter for finding out various engineering parameters
like void ratio, degree of saturation, shears failure, etc. and is also needed in pressure,
settlement and stability problems in soil engineering. In order to determine Specific
gravity of soil, undisturbed samples were selected. The Specific gravity range varies from
2.60 to 2.67.
5.2.4 Shear parameters:

The controlled strain method was used in case of shear test. These parameters are used in
evaluation of stability analysis and in evaluation of ultimate bearing capacity. The
cylindrical specimen for triaxial compression (without the measurement of pore water
pressure) was prepared from undisturbed sample. Shear as well as Triaxial Compression
Test (Unconsolidated Undrained) was conducted.

Project No. Sheet No.

210326-R1 05
 Direct Shear Test was conducted on specimen remoulded at FDD and submerged for 24
hrs saturation. The cohesion ‘c’ & the angle of shearing resistance‘φ’ are tabulated under
Table – 9.3.
5.2.5 Swelling Characteristics:
Soil sample at and below the foundation depth from EGL was tested for swelling
characteristics.
The Shrinkage Limit range varies from 16 to 19%.
The Volumetric Differential Swelling Index range varies from 40 to 100%.
These characteristics show low expansive nature of stratum at foundation depth from
EGL.
5.2.6 Consolidation Characteristics:

The main purpose of consolidation tests is to obtain soil data, which are used in predicting
the rate and the amount of settlement of the structure. Compression index Cc indicates the
magnitude of compression and the over consolidation pressure Pc indicates the
compaction of strata at natural condition. This test gives the values of various parameters
as under @ the foundation depth. This test is performed at 5.50m depth from EGL.

6.0 Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC)
Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) based on Shear failure criterion and Safe Bearing Pressure
(SBP) based on 75mm settlement (IS 1904: 1986, RA.2006) criterion is worked out.
The allowable bearing capacity shall be taken from the following values whichever is
less.
a) SBC based on Shear parameters: The Net Safe bearing capacity (SBC) based
on shear failure criterion. The Safe Bearing Capacity has been computed based on
shear strength characteristics. The evaluation of SBC is as per Indian Standard IS
6403:1981(RA. 2002).
b) SBP based on Consolidation parameters: The net safe bearing pressure that
can be impressed on maximum settlement of 75mm (permissible value for raft
foundations as given in IS 1904: 1986, RA.2006). The Total settlement has considered
as per IS 8009 (Part: I) 1976 (RA.2003).
c) SBC & SBP based on SPT ‘N’ Value: Based on foundation depth recommended
@ 3.00m depth from EGL, the average corrected SPT ‘N’-value is at foundation depth
worked out as 34 No. of blows/300 mm penetration. These are not corrected due to
clayey strata.
Corrections are applied As per IS 2131 [Clause- 3.6, Page No. 07]
Due to Overburden-The N value for cohesion less soil shall be corrected for
overburden as N’.
Due to Dilatancy - The value obtained in overburden shall be corrected for
dilatancy if the stratum consists of fine sand and silt
below water table for values of N’ greater than 15 as N”,
N”=15+1/2 (N’-15)
The safe settlement pressure is calculated by the empirical method based on N-value
as per IS 6403:1981 & IS 8009 (Part-1):1976 for usual size footings.

The Angle of Friction for sandy soil is taken as per IS 6403 from SPT N value and it is
restricted up to max. 35 degree in pile capacity calculations.

Cohesive soil, the relationship between SPT N value and consistency, as proposed by
Terzaghi and Peck (Fig.1.11.3 of Foundation Design Manual, NV Nayak, Fifth Edition.

The Angle of wall friction between pile & soil is taken as δ =ɸ.

The skin friction of the top 1.00m depth strata is considered as negative effect.

MT= Metric Tone, 1MT = 1000kgf.

The borehole should be well flushed and the bottom slurry specific gravity should be
less then 1.12.

The Slump for pile work shall be required 150mm to 180mm at time of pouring.

The Bored Cast in-situ piles for capacity calculations are considered.

Proper group efficiency factor shall be considered if no. of piles is provided based on
no. of piles in a group.

8.0 CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION:
Proposed Site at L&T/DFCC/STP-17/TH-03, CH-54.205, Height: 30m, was explored
by one borehole up to 15.45m depth from GL & subsequent field and laboratory test
results show that…
1. The site is leveled and cleaned & all levels mentioned in this report are w.r.t. Ground
level. The Site Co-ordinates are: 2380422.0m N & 290049.4m E.
2. Site Existing Ground Level (EGL) & Original Ground Level (OGL) RL are as under:
Height of Filled up soil
Sr. No. Location Tower(m) OGL RL (m) EGL RL (m)
Depth(m)
1 TH-03 30.00 28.300 28.300 0.00m

3. Layer wise stratification shows,

Sub soil consists of blackish to brownish high to medium plastic silty clay with sand &
gravels up to 2.30m depth followed by yellowish high plastic silty clay up to 4.50m
depth followed by light yellowish to grayish high to medium plastic silty clay with sand
up to 6.50m depth followed by yellowish to grayish high plastic silty clay with sand up
to 12.50m depth followed by light yellowish high plastic silty clay with sand & gravels
up to 14.80m depth followed by yellowish to grayish high plastic silty clay up to
investigation depth of 15.45m.
4. The ground water table was observed at 7.50m depth from GL during sub soil
exploration carried out in March ‘2021. But, the effect of water table is considered
accordingly for evaluation of SBC & settlement values.
No long term monitoring of Ground Water was specified. Thus, the ground water
conditions established is applicable for the time of investigation only. The ground water
condition may vary with rainfall patterns, long term climatic changes and any changes in
the surrounding area. Reconfirmation of ground water level is recommended prior to any
work relating to the ground water regime.
5. The SBC for various size of foundation is recommended as per Section 7.
6. These values of SBC/ SBP are only for symmetric static loading conditions. The
inclined & dynamic loading condition has not considered while computing the Safe
Bearing Capacity (SBC).
7. MDD/OMC of Soil at 3.00m depth from EGL is as following:

Project No. Sheet No.

210326-R1 014
 Sr. No. MDD (g/cc) OMC (%)
1 1.77 16.57
8. The value of SBC evaluated in this report depends on technical details of foundation
i.e. depth, type and width. The change of any of this design parameter of foundation
will change the value of SBC. These may be kept in view in final design. The SBC
values other than the footing sizes mentioned under topic 7.0 shall be supplied on
demand.
9. The chemical analysis of soil & water shows sulphate content of the soil as 0.055% and
PH is >7.00 in soil, which are within the required limits for concrete sub-structures.
OPC Cement may be used with proper content for construction of same. The chloride
content of the soil & water are also within limits of concrete requirements as per
IS:456-2000.
10. Engineering properties of strata below foundation level, i.e. void ratio (e), Coefficient
of uniformity (Cu), Plasticity index (Ip), D60, & Soil Classification and SPT-N value
indicate the strata up to investigation depth is having lower possibility of liquefaction
occurrence.
11. The value of SBC is based on fieldwork carried out from 01 No boreholes data up to
15.45m depth from GL and laboratory test results of the samples collected from them.
During excavation of trenches, if any change in strata is found, it is advisable to report
immediately for further investigation
