Abstract

ABSTRACT

In the following pages, is presented the Report with Analysis, prepared from the thorough
study of investigation results.

The detailed scope of work was decided in consultation with the representatives of clients
and consultants.

The work for soil/subgrade investigation along with collection of samples was undertaken to
obtain the required information to study and define the nature and behaviour of soil, under
application of loads of proposed pavements. Such informations were obtained through
following steps:

• by performing required in-situ tests.


• by testing the soil in laboratory to classify it and to determine the engineering
properties of soil.

SECTION I
NATURE OF INVESTIGATIONS

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

We (KBM Engineering Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad) have carried out Investigation,


covering field work and tests, laboratory tests and analysis of the same.

The entire field testing was carried out as per relevant IS codes, IRC guidelines and as per
the instructions of the representatives of the clients. The samples collected from various
test locations, were sealed, labelled and transported to our laboratory at Ahmedabad. The
required laboratory tests were conducted as per relevant IS codes.

This report has been prepared after careful study of the field and laboratory test results.

1.2 LOCATION:

The locations for conducting field tests/collection of samples were as under:

1.3 FIELD WORK AND LABORATORY TESTING:

1.3.1 TRIAL PITS:

Trial pits of size 0.8m x 0.6m up to subgrade top were excavated manually at the locations
suggested by clients consultants. After excavation of trial pits field density of subgade was
determined. Pavement layers were also logged and photograph taken in a manner where
layer thickness could be self explanatory. Samples of subgrade were collected and
following laboratory tests were carried out:

• Field Moisture Content – As per IS:2720 P-2


• Atterberg’s Limits - As per IS:2720 P-5
• Grain Size Analysis- As per IS:2720 P-4
• Maximum Dry Density
And Optimum Moisture
By Heavy Compaction- As per IS:2720 P-8
• Soaked CBR & Unsoaked CBR - As per IS:2720 P-16

Test results for pavement composition along with photographs are given Table No.1
enclosed in Appendix A.

Laboratory test results are given Table No. 2 in Appendix A.
