After all the final results from site investigation three critical boreholes were provided from which given informa-
tion, deep or shallow foundations have to be designed. All the major factors were also kept in mind before de
signing foundation. Structure type for which foundations are designed
is a commerical or residential building.

used in the soil. After referring research
papers, the range of percentage of ad-
ditive to be added was between 8-9 %
by weight of soil.

A geotechnical field and lab investigations were conducted for developing a two-floor factory at Sanand highway-
Dipen bricks. The objective of this was to provide information collected during the investigation period and from labo-
ratory tests results to understand strata and give soil properties to derive foundation design parameters.
