1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
M/s Lahore Smart City (LSC), hereinafter called the Client, plans to construct a Special
Children Academy at Lahore Smart City (LSC) Kala Shah Kaku (KSK). The Special
Children Academy will be a 4-storey structure, consisting of a basement, ground floor
and four additional floors. M/s Berkeley Associates (Pvt.) Ltd. (BAL) were engaged to
carry out the geotechnical investigations at the proposed site of both buildings.
The purpose of the Geotechnical Investigation was to delineate the subsurface

conditions and soil engineering characteristics in order to yield a set of rational
foundation design parameters by advancing a total of three (03) sampled boreholes
(Boreholes BH-01 to BH-03) on the site. The geotechnical investigations comprised
drilling of boreholes, performance of in-situ testing in boreholes, collection of soil/water
samples, laboratory testing and preparation and submission of geotechnical
investigations report. The information gathered from the Geotechnical Investigations
was used to provide geotechnical design recommendations for the proposed
development.
The entire fieldwork was carried out under the fulltime supervision of our site supervisor
of M/s Berkeley Associates (Pvt.) Ltd.
The fieldwork for these geotechnical investigations was carried out from May 06, 2023
to May 08, 2023.
1.2 Scope of Work

4 GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SUBSOIL
4.1 General
The geotechnical investigations conducted for the project comprised field and
laboratory work. The field and laboratory investigations were aimed at evaluating the
engineering characteristics of the foundation soils. The subsurface conditions and
engineering characteristics of the soils existing at the proposed project site are
discussed in the following sections.
4.2 Topography and Geology
The topography of the project site is predominately flat. The alluvial deposits were
encountered in the project area which mainly consist of flood plain deposits. As the
project site is flat, ground elevation of all boreholes is assumed as 100.0m.
4.3 Stratigraphy
During these investigations, the subsurface was explored to a maximum depth of

15.5m below the existing ground level (EGL) and the following lithological units have
been identified;
• The 1st natural soil layer comprises LEAN CLAY that extends to maximum
depth of 4.0m below EGL.
• The 2nd natural layer comprises SILTY SAND / POORLY GRADED SAND
with SILT which extends down to maximum explored depth of 15.5m below
EGL.
The above information has been detailed on the respective borehole logs (Appendix-
B).
4.4 Site Classification
In accordance with the Building Code of Pakistan (Ref. 7.2), the criteria for
classification of uncemented soil profiles are to be based on;

Doc. No. J-829
Rev. 01
• 𝑣̅𝑠 = average shear wave velocity of the top 100 ft (30 m).
or
• ̅ 𝑜𝑟 ̅̅̅̅̅
𝑁 𝑁𝑐ℎ = average field SPT resistance for the top 100 ft (30 m).
or
• 𝑠̅𝑢 = = average undrained shear strength for the top 100 ft (30 m).
During these investigations, subsurface was explored to a maximum depth of 15.5 On

5 FOUNDATION DESIGN
5.1 General
Various field and laboratory tests have been carried out during these geotechnical
investigations. These test results have been examined for evaluation of subsurface
conditions at the project site and determination of geotechnical design parameters.
Design parameters have been selected on the basis of field & laboratory test results,
literature and engineering judgement. Evaluations have been made for allowable
bearing pressures for the shallow foundations which are discussed in the following
sections.
5.2 Type of Foundation
Keeping in view the requirement of structural foundations and subsurface soil

conditions present at the site, the Strip and Square footings as well as Raft foundations
have been recommended as shallow foundations for the proposed project. The design
criteria, geotechnical design parameters and allowable bearing pressures for shallow
foundations are discussed in the following sections.
5.3 Design Parameters
Field and laboratory test data have been used to determine the foundation design
parameters. Following soil parameters are recommended for design of shallow
foundations below existing ground level;

5.4 Shallow Foundations
The type and depth of footings, design criteria and net allowable bearing pressures are
discussed in the following sections.
5.4.1 Depth of Foundations

Keeping in view the encountered subsurface conditions and the information about the
type of building isolated square/strip footings at 4.0m depth below EGL have been
evaluated for various foundation sizes. The evaluations have also been made for
raft/mat foundation at 4.0 depth below EGL.
5.4.2 Design Criteria
Allowable bearing pressures for shallow foundations have been evaluated for different
sizes of foundations. For evaluation of allowable bearing pressures, the following two
criteria are adopted;
i- The allowable load should not initiate the shear failure of the foundation
soils, and
ii- The total as well as differential settlements caused by the application of

superimposed loads should be within specified tolerable limits of
25.4mm for square/strip foundations and 50.8mm for raft/mat
foundations.
5.4.3 Allowable Bearing Pressures

The allowable bearing pressures on the basis of shear and settlement failure of soil
were determined by Brinch-Hansen (Ref. 7.1) and Meyerhof (1956) approach,
respectively.
The evaluated net allowable bearing pressures for different sizes of square/strip
footings placed at 4.0m depth below existing ground level (EGL) are shown on Fig. 5-
1 (Appendix-A).
The evaluated net/gross allowable bearing pressures for different sizes of raft
foundations placed at 4.0m depth below existing ground level (EGL) are shown on Fig.
5-2 (Appendix-A).

Doc. No. J-829
Rev. 01
5.4.4 Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
Modulus of subgrade reaction Ks to be used in computer model for structural analysis

can be evaluated from the basic definition of Ks by using the evaluated net allowable
bearing pressure which causes the settlement under the maximum structural pressure
and is as follows:
For Square/Strip Footing with 25.4 mm tolerable settlement
Ks (kN/m3) = Evaluated Net Allowable Bearing Pressure x FS______

Settlement (25.4 mm) under maximum structural pressure
For Raft foundation with 50 mm tolerable settlement
Ks (kN/m3) = Evaluated Net Allowable Bearing Pressure x FS______

Settlement (50.8 mm) under maximum structural pressure
5.5 Construction Considerations
The soils at foundation level should be carefully inspected prior to placing the
foundations to ensure that the soils are similar to those encountered in the boreholes.
In case any loose / weak material is encountered in the foundation trenches / pits, it
must be completely removed and foundations should be placed at deeper depth on
intact soil. For any different soil conditions, geotechnical engineer must be consulted
prior to initiate foundation construction.
