REPORT ON
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION WORK
FOR 414 KTPA ALUMINIUM EXPANSION PROJECT
AT BALCO
1. INTRODUCTION
M/s. Bharat Aluminium Company Limited has proposed the BALCO expansion project at
Balco, Korba, Chattisgarh. For designing the sub-structures, it was necessary to conduct a
thorough Geotechnical Investigation and the job was awarded to M/s. C. E. Testing
Company Pvt. Ltd., Kolkata.
This is a part of the whole project and deals with 16 nos. bore holes (i.e. ABH-01 to 07, 11
to 14, 16, 18 to 21) of WTP / ETP Area.
The boreholes of 150 mm in diameter in soil were advanced by Shell and Auger method. In
rock, rotary core drilling of “NX” size was adopted. The scope also included conducting
Standard Penetration Tests, collecting disturbed samples at regular intervals for
identification and logging purposes, collecting undisturbed tube samples at suitable intervals
or at change of strata whichever is earlier, collecting rock core samples and testing these in
the laboratory.
Considering the nature of the subsoil, most suitable type of foundation is recommended.

2. FIELD INVESTIGATION & SUB-SOIL PROPERTIES:

Boring has been carried out by Shell and Auger method using full-length flush jointed
casings. The bore holes are 150 mm diameter. Undisturbed tube samples have been
collected from the soil deposits and Standard Penetration Tests have also been conducted
as per standard norms.
The subsoils in general are of medium to good quality. The soil is characterised by loose
sand followed by stiff to very stiff silty clay. Below this medium dense sand / hard silty clay
layer observed. After that weathered rock layer was struck and continues upto the
terminating depth of all boreholes.
A list of the bore holes with the Co-ordinates, reduced level and standing water level are
presented in tabular form below.

3. DISCUSSION
3.1. CHOICE OF FOUNDATION:
Considering the subsoil condition (due to presence of thick loose sand varies from 2.70m to
6.70m at the top) and type of structures to be constructed at the present site, deep
foundation on form of pile is suggested. Bored cast in-situ piles are preferred due to typical
geological formation, availability of construction agencies, ease of construction and less
sound pollution.
At first, the design strength parameters are determined. Thereafter, the pile capacity values
are calculated using average properties and design layer stratification. While determining the
pile capacity, the following considerations are made.
a) Diameter of piles used = 600mm, 750mm, 1000mm and 1200mm
b) Cut-off = 2.50m
c) Finished Floor Level, FFL = 293.000M, corresponding approximate FGL = 292.700M
d) Pile capacity is calculated using design layer stratification as stated below.
Layer IIIA – EGL to 6.50m
Layer II – 6.50m to 13.00m
Layer III – 13.00m to 13.95m
Layer IIA – 13.95m to 15.50m
Layer V – 15.50m to Termination depth
3.2. PILE FOUNDATION AROUND ABH-01 TO ABH-06:

3.2.1. EVALUATION OF STRENGTH PARAMETERS:
For Stratum IIIA (From EGL to 6.50M)
Average corrected "N" in this layer = 7
So, let us use, C = 0.00 kg/sqcm &  = 28°. Use Ko = 1.00
For Stratum II (From 6.50M to 13.00M)

Average N = 19, corresponding cohesion from N value = 0.95 kg/sqcm
From laboratory TRSH-UU test results, average C = 0.87 kg/sqcm &  = 0°
Thus average C = 0.91 kg/sqcm &  = 0°
Let us use C = 0.90 kg/sqcm &  = 0°
Use Adhesion factor,  = 0.500
For Stratum III (From 13.00M to 13.95M)

Average corrected "N" in this layer = 20
Page 10/17
Average fine content of the stratum III is more than 5%.

For N = 20 corresponding Relative Density (Dr) = 50.00 %
Hence, Friction angle 1 = 25+0.15Dr = 25+0.15x50  32.5°
For bored cast-in-situ piles the soil get loosened during boring.
Poulos (1980) suggested that  = 1 – 3 = 32.5 - 3  29.5°
So, let us use, C = 0.00 kg/sqcm &  = 29°. Use Ko = 1.00
For Stratum IIA (From 13.95M to 15.50M)

Design N = 100, corresponding cohesion from N value = 3.70 kg/sqcm
However, let us restrict the C value to 2.00 kg/sqcm &  = 0°
Use Adhesion factor,  = 0.268
For Rock Layer (Stratum V) (from 15.50M to Termination depth)

The disintegrated / weathered or very soft rock may be treated as soil (As per IRC:78-2000,
Clause 706.3.1.1.2)
Now from literature we know that the c and  values of a rock specimen is in the range of c =
35 to 175 kg/sqcm and  is seldom less than 40 degree [Bowles, J. E., Foundation Analysis and
Design, pp-278, 5th Edition]. When the rock is fractured so that good intact core is not
recovered, it is the cohesion value that will be missed. The friction value will remain in tact.
However, to be in the safer side, use  value to 35°. Use K0 = 1.25
3.2.2. DETERMINATION OF VERTICAL PILE CAPACITY:

Using the above values, the pile capacity values are calculated for different pile depth and
for different pile diameter. A few sample calculations are enclosed herewith.
Based on the above, the following pile capacities have been recommended.

PILE CAPACITY AROUND ABH-01 to 06
Bottom depth of Pile = 18.50 m below FGL

RL= 292.650M, FGL = 292.700M. Therefore Filling = (292.700-292.650) = 0.05m
Cut-off Length = 2.50 m below FGL
Diameter of Pile = 750 mm
Job No. : 4432WT
FOS of Shaft Resistance = 2.50

FOS for End Bearing = 2.50 Critical depth 15.00 D
So, maximum Depth upto which pressure will increase = 11.25 m Maximum OVP = 10.125 t/sqm

For End Bearing
Cohesion C= 0 kg/sqcm Uplift Pile Capacity:
Friction Angle = 35 ° Uplift capacity = 1/3 x [(Shaft Resistance in Vertical Capacity) + self weight of pile (Buoyant)]
= 1/3x[183.28+(3.1415/4)x(750/1000)2 x (18.5-2.50) x (2.5-1)]

Nq = 51.42 = 64.62903112 , Recommended Uplift Capacity = 60 ton
Ng = 48.03 [Refer to Table 1 of IS: 6403 : 1981]
Sheet No.
Eff. Ovp. Pressure=p(tip) 10.13 t/sqm

q(tip) =C.Nc+p(tip).Nq+0.5gDNg= 536.80 t/sqm
Ultimate End Bearing = 220.89 T
Safe End Bearing = 88.36 T
Safe Shaft Resistance= 73.31 T
So, Total Pile Capacity = 161.67 T
So, Recommended Vertical Pile Capacity = 155 T
3.3.4. DETERMINATION OF LATERAL PILE CAPACITY:

Around ABH-01 to 06:
Use average corrected N = 7 for determining lateral pile capacity calculation.
Refer to IS : 2911 (Part I/Sec 2) - 2010, Appendix - C
Modulus of Subgrade Reaction, h = 0.08 kg/cucm corresponding to ''N'' value = 7 [Assuming
Submerged Sand]
T = [EI/h]1/5
Now, I = 1.55 x 106 cm4 [for 750mm dia pile]
E = 5000 x (fck)0.5 = 5000 x (25)0.5 = 25000 N/sqmm = 2.50 x 105 kg/sqcm
Hence, T = 348.57 cm
From Graph (Fig.4), Lf = 2.18 x T = 759.87 cm [Assuming Fixed Head Piles in Sands]
Pile Head deflection, Y = H x Lf3 / 12EI = 0.9416mm for 1T load
So, for 5mm horizontal deflection, H = 5.31T, say 5T
Now, Moment = [H x Lf/2] = [1 x 7.60/2] = 3.80t-m per T of thrust
The Reduction Factor for computation of Maximum Moment in Pile, m = 0.82
So, the corrected actual moment, M = 3.80 x 0.82 = 3.12t-m per T of thrust
Similarly for 600mm, 1000mm and 1200mm dia. Pile, H = 3.50T, 8.00T and 11.00T and
corresponding M = 2.61, 3.92 and 4.54 t-m per T of thrust respectively.
3.3.5. RECOMMENDATION:

Note:
1) Finished Floor Level, FFL = 293.000M, FGL is considered as 292.700M
2) Cutoff is considered as 2.50m below FGL.
3) While evaluating pile capacity, it assumed that the pile will be socketed inside rock which shall be
confirmed during pile execution
4) Pile Load Tests shall be carried out as per IS 2911, Part 4 to verify the pile capacity.

3.4. SWELLING CHARACTERISTICS:

The swelling pressure and Free Swell Index tests were performed on few samples and the
test results are presented at the end of the report. The average swelling pressure and Free
Swell Index as found from the tests are 0.148 kg/sqcm and 12.23% respectively.
3.5. CHEMICAL TESTS:

Chemical tests were performed on few soil samples for determining the pH value, Sulphate,
Chloride content etc.
CHEMICAL TEST RESULTS ON SOIL SAMPLES:-

BH/Sample No. Depth pH Sulphate as Chloride as
(m) value SO3 (%) Cl (%)
ABH-19 / UDS01 3.00 7.20 BDL 0.016
Note: * - B.D.L. = Below Detection Limit (i.e. below 0.050%)
It is seen that the values are on a safer side and so no special cement will be required for
foundation concrete. Either Ordinary Portland cement or Portland slag cement or
Portland Pozzolana cement can be used for the purpose.
Page 15/17
4. SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the field and laboratory tests and the foregoing discussion the following are
summarised.
1. The subsoils in general are of medium to good quality. The soil is characterised by loose
sand followed by stiff to very stiff silty clay. Below this medium dense sand / hard silty
clay layer observed. After that weathered rock layer was struck and continues upto the
terminating depth of all boreholes.
2. Open Foundation: Due to presence of loose sand (varies from 2.70m to 6.70m) at the
top, open foundation is not recommended.
3. Pile Foundation: For higher bearing capacity recommendation, it is suggested to go for

deep foundation in form pile.
4. Bored cast in-situ piles are preferred due to typical geological formation, availability of
construction agencies, ease of construction and less sound pollution.
5. The recommended pile capacity values are presented in Section 3.3.5.
6. The discussion on swelling characteristics is given in Section 3.4.
7. Chemical tests were carried out on few soil samples so as to detect the pH value,
Sulphate, Chloride etc. It is seen that the values are on a safe side. So, any cement
can be used for foundation concrete. Either Ordinary Portland cement or Portland
slag cement or Portland Pozzolana cement can be used for the purpose.
