4.0 FIELD INVESTIGATIONS-GEO-TECHNICAL STUDIES
4.1 Boring rig, with all requisite equipments and accessories, were mobilized at the worksite.
A team of technical personnel with skilled laborers were also deputed.
4.2 Two bore holes (BH 11 & BH 12) of 150 mm diameter were bored to a maximum depth up to
25 m below the existing ground level. The bore holes were made as per relevant Indian
Standard IS: 1892: 2021.
4.3 Representative soil samples were collected at every change of strata or at 1 m depth
intervals, up to 5 m, from the existing ground level, 1.5 m depth intervals, up to termination
depth in BH 11. In BH 12, 1 m depth intervals, up to 5 m, from the existing ground level, 1.5 m
depth intervals, up to 17 m, 1 m depth intervals, up to termination depth. The samples so
collected were sealed and numbered with full particulars for identification and sent to the
laboratory for conducting the required tests.

4.4 Standard Penetration tests were conducted in the bore holes at 1 m depth intervals, up to
5 m, from the existing ground level, 1.5 m depth intervals, up to termination depth in BH 11. In
BH 12, 1 m depth intervals, up to 5 m, from the existing ground level, 1.5 m depth intervals, up
to 17 m, 1 m depth intervals, up to termination depth, as per the relevant Indian Standard, IS:
2131-1981(Reaffirmed 2021). In this test, a standard split spoon sampler is driven into the
ground at the required depth by means of standard hammer of 63.5 kgs weight, falling from
a height of 75 cm. Number of blows for the first 15 cm is not taken into consideration because
of possible disturbances or presence of settled, suspended matters at the bottom of the bore-
holes. The total number of blows for the next 30 cm depth of penetration is considered as SPT
„N‟ value as shown in Figure nos.1 & 2 (Appendix I).

7.0 GROUND WATER TABLE
Ground water level was met at a depth of 1.4 m from the existing ground level at the time of
investigation in the 2 boreholes, during continuous boring from 19.11.2022 to 22.11.2022.
8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUITABLE TYPE OF FOUNDATIONS:
Bore holes were made for soil investigation to assess the nature and strength of the subsoil strata
for sustainability of the loads. This report gives the details of the soil strata, suitable type of
foundations and safe bearing capacity. Based on the subsoil conditions described in Sl. No. 6,
considering very low SPT N values varying from 1 to 9 at some depths between 1 m to 9.5 m,
from below existing ground, open foundations are not feasible without ground improvement for
heavily loaded structures. Since the total and differential settlements will be very large, pile
foundations are recommended for the proposed Parcel Office (G+1 Floor) structure.
8.1 Alternative I: Pile Foundations
8.1.1 Bored cast in situ concrete pile foundations are recommended.
8.1.2 The recommended safe load carrying capacity of bored cast in situ concrete piles are
considered as per IS 2911 (Part 1/Sec2): 2010 (Reaffirmed 2020)

5
8.1.3 The pile bore may be terminated at a depth of minimum five times diameter of the pile into
weathered rock (SPT>100).
8.1.4 To satisfy the above criterion, the pile length may be of the order of 19 m from the existing
ground level.
8.1.5 In terms of concrete used for the piles, to provide the required factor of safety of 2.5 for
stress in the pile concrete, as per the clients requirement, considering minimum M 40 Grade
of Concrete for design.
8.1.6 According to the structural strength of concrete determined for different pile diameters,
assuming 5 grades less to allow for underwater concreting, consider M 35 grade concrete
instead of M 40 grade concrete.
8.1.7 The recommended safe load carrying capacity of bored cast in situ concrete piles as per IS
2911 (Part 1/Sec2): 2010 (Reaffirmed 2020) for different pile diameters are presented in
Table A.

8.1.8 R.C.C. BORED CAST IN SITU PILES
Safe capacity of RCC Bored cast-in-situ pile can be computed by using the formula given in
IS: 2911 (Part-1/Sec-2):2010 (Reaffirmed 2020)
Ultimate bearing capacity Qu of piles in Cohesionless soil:

6
I=n
Qu= Ap(0.5.D..N+PD.Nq) +∑K .PDi.tan .Asi

I=1
Where, Ap = Cross sectional area of pile toe in cm²
D= Stem dia. in cm
= Effective unit weight of soil at pile toe in kg /cm³
PD = Effective overburden pressure in kg / cm²
N and Nq = Bearing capacity factors depending upon the angle of internal
friction Ø at toe
i =n
∑ = Summation of N layers in which pile is installed i =1
K = Coefficient of earth pressure
PDi = Effective overburden pressure in kg /cm² for the ith layer where i varies
from 1 to n.
δ= Angle of wall friction between pile and soil in degrees (may be taken
equal to Ø)
Asi =Surface area of pile stem in cm² in the i th layer where i varies from 1 to n.
For cohesive soil:-
Safe capacity of pile = 1/f {AP. Nc. Cp+. C.AS)
Where,
Ap- c/s area of pile toe in cm²
Nc- bearing capacity factor
Cp- average cohesion at pile tip in kg/cm²
 - Reduction factor
C – average cohesion throughout the length of pile in kg/cm²
AS- Surface area of pile shaft in cm²
f - factor of safety.

8.2 Alternative II: Open Foundations
8.2.1 Open Foundations (individual column footings or combined footings if there are two or more
columns close to each other, or Strip Raft combining each row of columns, if each row of
columns are close to each other when compared to the distance or span between the rows
of columns, or raft foundation) are recommended.
8.2.2 Excavation shall be made up to the required depth below the existing ground level as given in
the Table B.
8.2.3 After thorough compaction of the bottom of excavation, PCC for the foundations can then be
laid at the depth below the ground level which existed at the time of soil investigation as given
in the Table B.
8.2.4 As per the client requirement, the recommended safe bearing capacities under the RCC
foundation are given in Table B. However, the width of any column footing or strip raft shall not
be less than 1 m.
Table B
Depth of Excavation for Recommended

Borehole No Foundation from EGL Safe Bearing Capacity
(m) (T/m2)
BH 11 2 5
BH 12 2 3.5
8.2.5 At the time of excavation for foundations, if ground water table occurs within the
recommended depth of excavation, sumps may be made to an additional depth of 0.3 m at
one or more corners of the foundation pits for column footings/combined footings or at
desired locations along the periphery of excavation for strip raft/raft foundation, and the
water collected in the sumps may be bailed out. At the time of laying the PCC, the bottom of
excavation shall be relatively dry (not slushy). Dewatering shall be maintained until that part
of the concrete in the foundations, which comes below the ground water table level, sets.

9.0 CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GROUND WATER
The results of chemical analysis on the ground water samples collected from the boreholes,
presented in Appendix – III show that:
 Since the pH value is more than 6, the ground water, in terms of pH value, is suitable for
mixing concrete as per Clause 5.4.2 of Indian Standard: 456-2000, (Reaffirmed 2021), plain
and reinforced concrete – code of practice (Fourth Revision).
 The chloride content is less than the permissible upper limit of 500 mg/l. for use of ground
water for mixing in concrete for RCC, as per IS: 456-2000, (Reaffirmed 2021). Therefore, in
terms of chloride content in the ground water, the ground water is suitable for mixing
concrete for RCC.
 The sulphate content (expressed as SO3) is less than the permissible upper limit of 400 mg/l
for use of ground water for mixing in concrete, as per IS: 456-2000 (Reaffirmed 2021).
Therefore, in terms of sulphate content, the ground water is suitable for mixing concrete for
RCC. The sulphate content (expressed as SO3) is less than 300 mg/l which comes under Class
1 of “Requirements for concrete exposed to sulphate attack”, as per IS:456-2000
(Reaffirmed 2021), Table 4. For this Class, the requirements are: Ordinary Portland cement or
Portland slag cement or Portland pozzolana cement can be used with a minimum cement
content of 280 kg/ m3 of concrete and with a maximum water: cement ratio of 0.55”
Hence, the ground water is suitable for mixing concrete for Construction purpose.
10.0 The results given in this report are based on the results of the soil investigation carried out. In
actual execution, if any variation is found, the consultants may also be referred to.
