3. DETAILS OF FIELD WORK

i. Selection of Borehole:

One Bore-hole was selected by the Engineer in charge in order to obtain comprehensive
sub-soil data for this site with a provision of borings up to 10.0m depth as required as per
IS:1892 - 1979. For detailed laboratory investigation SPT is conducted @ 1.50 m intervals or
at change of soil Strata in different Boreholes and S.P.T soil samples were collected for
laboratory analysis. Disturbed representative, soil samples from all the Boreholes were
collected at 1.5 m. interval for different tests.
ii. Boring:

It is the main part of sub soil investigation work as the soil samples were collected for
different tests at different levels. The sub-soil exploration work at the proposed site was
carried out manually / mechanically using 150 mm diameter shell and auger manual
equipment in soft strata and power operated Mechanical boring in hard strata using diamond
cutter , as per IS : 1892 – 1979 .

iii. Standard Penetration Tests:

Standard penetration test plays a major role in sub soil investigation termination of safe
bearing capacity of soil in non cohesive type soil, particularly in non-cohesive granular sandy
soil and where the UDS could not be collected either due to high liquidity or non cohesive
nature of soil .The SPT tests were conducted as per IS: 2131-1981 respectively. The SPT
sampler was lower inside the borehole after drilling the required level and is driven by a
63.50 kg Rammer with a free fall of 750 mm. driving 450 mm in One stages 150 mm each
and the number of blows for each 150mm penetration for 2nd & 3rd 150 mm drive recorded
as “N”. Refusal was considered for N>100. The details of location of test and SPT value [N]
are presented in bore log data annexed separately.

iv. Ground Water Table:

During exploration work of the Location, 24hours observation it is found that the water table
is at 1.55m depth in BH-08 within the Boring depth from the existing ground level depending
on the location of boring. The water table may be fluctuating due to change of season.

4. LABORATORY TESTS
The laboratory-tests were conducted on selected representative disturbed / undisturbed soil
samples collected from different Borehole drilled at the proposed site. The tests include
Grain size analysis, Natural moisture content, D.F.S, Specific Gravity and Liquid limit, Plastic
limit, Plasticity index, Shear test, and Particles size distribution tests on representative soil
sample were also carried out. All the tests conducted confirming to the requirements of I.S
specification. The results of all these tests have been annexed separately.

i. Grain Size Analysis:

The grain size analysis of different soil samples were done as per the requirement of IS:
2720 (Pt-IV) 1985 – method of test for soil, Grain size analysis. The details of the test results
are shown test result sheet separately. The results of grain size analysis are used to classify
the soil in various depths of boreholes. The results of all these tests have been annexed
separately.

ii. Natural Moisture Content:

The natural moisture content was determined from different undisturbed samples of different
Boreholes at different depths, as per IS: 2720(Pt-II)-1973: Method of test for soil,
determination of Water content.

iii. Determination of Specific Gravity:

The specific gravity of the UDS / DS samples have been determined at different levels as
per IS: 2720 (Pt-III) - 1980. It is used for determining void ratio, porosity, saturated density,
S.B.C, settlement of foundation system. The results of all these tests have been annexed
separately.

iv. Determination of Void Ratio:

The void-ratio of the UDS / DS samples has been determined at different levels and the
results are shown separately. It is used for determining specific gravity, optimum moisture
content, S.B.C, settlement of foundation system. The results of all these tests have been
annexed separately.

v. Determination of Liquid Limit / Plastic Limit:

The liquid and plastic limits of soils were other index properties of soil have also been
determined as per the relevant as per IS: 2720(Pt-v)-1985 Code of practice. The liquid and
plastic limits of soil samples have been determined in the laboratory and it is used for
determining S.B.C, settlement of foundation system etc. The results of all these tests have
been annexed separately.

i. Core Recovery:

Rock core samples are kept in the same order as recovered from bore hole run wise
(marked arrow on cores in the increasing order of depth). The length of all core samples is
measured. Core recovery is the ratio of the sum of the lengths of all the cores recovered
from drilling per run.

Core Recovery (%) = (Total length of core pieces recovered/Length of run x 100

It is expressed in percentage (%).

ii. RQD:

Rock Quality Designation indicates the quality of the rock. RQD is defined as the ratio of the
sum of the total length of the cores of length 10cm and longer recovered from the drilling of
the total length of the borehole is 1.5m.

RQD = (Total length of cores in pieces of 10cm length or longer/length of the run) x 100

It is expressed in percentage (%).

iii. Unconfined compressive strength of rock specimens:

As soon as the rock core samples were received in the laboratory, Core Recovery
percentages and RQD percentages were determined. Then core samples which were longer
than the diameter that was 54mm were selected for preparation of specific specimens as per
IS: 9143-1979 in the ratio of length : diameter = 1:1 and correction factors applied ( since
limited intact rock core sampling was possible). Then the specimens were tested for
unconfined compressive strength.

7. FOUNDATION & RECOMMENDATION

Based on our field and laboratory investigation, the following recommendations are made:

i. The stratum encountered in different boreholes at different depths is presented in

respective soil profile sheets.

ii. The water table if encountered in the boreholes is also indicated in the soil profile
sheets.

iii. The depth of foundation shall be decided based on bearing capacity and uplift
resistance required.

iv. The recommended safe bearing capacity for the footing is computed based on
footing size as specified for suggested foundations are given below.

v. As per site condition which, visual observations of soil samples at site, field bore log
record, local geology of the area, type of sample received, laboratory classification of
soil samples and based on the experience of our Geotechnical Expert, it is
recommended to provide open foundation.

vi. The recommended safe bearing capacity for the footing is computed based on
footing size as specified for suggested foundations are given below. It is feasible to
provide open foundations. Open foundations can be placed at a depth of 3.0m below
the existing ground level. However for heavily loaded structures the foundation depth
can be increased as per the design load.
