INTRODUCTION The soil investigation Survey was necessary for the purpose of the foundation design and construction of the said proposed project Accordingly the subsoil exploration work with 3 boreholes (2x 10.00 m and 1x 15.00 m depth) was carried out as per contractual requirement of the project. During borehole exploration, disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected. The present report deals with the geotechnical investigation findings at the location and the recommendation suitable methodology to be adopted for execution of brahmani river crossing by HDD Method based upon field laboratory test results 2. SOIL EXPLORATION Three boreholes were sunk within the premises of the proposed project, the depths of boreholes were measured from the existing ground level and hence the depth of borehole indicates depth below ground level (BGL). The execution of the subsoil exploration job at site was commenced on August STH, 2023 and completed on August 10°, 2028. Our site in-charge has maintained the log sheets of the boreholes, Visually classified soils encountered according to the standard soil classification system. We have also obtained relatively undisturbed and bulk samples for the sub-surface materials from each borehole advanced at different locations. The soil exploration methodology followed at site, has been explained below. 3. FIELD INVESTIGATION Geotechnical Investigation was conducted in an attempt for optimization in the design of foundation for the laying of steel pipeline across the brahmani river at this site. The entire Investigation program had been divided mainly into two parts, |) Field works & Il) Laboratory tests. |) Field works unfold the sub-surface deposit types and their characteristios Il) Laboratory tests part would help determining the relevant physical and oR © SS op TTPROJECT NAME.

Boreholes were advanced into the soil by Auger to sink 150 mm diameter bore holes by using manually operated equipment. The Auger boring continued upto maximum depth of 4.5m and thereafter wash boring technique was adopted. Stabilization of the boreholes was achieved by circulating Bentonite slurry, Suitable casings were used upto about 3.0 m below ground level (BGL) to prevent cave-in of soil inside the boreholes. Log sheet of each borehole has been presented in Annexure. FIELD AND LABORATORY WORKS. Field and laboratory works associated with this Survey has been conducted as per the following specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS):PROJECT NAME.

Sampling The disturbed samples were collected from split spoon sampler of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) at different depths of each borehole; the disturbed samples were also collected near the ground level. The undisturbed samples were collected at average 3m interval, while the SPT field test was conducted at average 1.5m interval. Groundwater table was observed and recorded in the field bore log sheet. Undisturbed sample were obtained as per the specification by forcing a thin wall sample of internal diameter 100 mm and 450 mm length open drive sampling assembly having area ratio of about 10% (as per IS: 2132-1986). Before insertion of sampling tube in the borehole the disturbed soils were removed properly form the same. The sampling assembly was driven to the required depth manually with the help of jarring link. ThePROJECT NAME -: Carrying out Complete Geotechnical Investigation of River Crossing for Pipeline Project at Rourkela undisturbed samples retained in the lowest tube were brought to the surface and both the ends of the tube were sealed by a thin layer of molten wax. Further the end of the tube was closed by screwed caps or tight fittings lids. The depth of the samples and other particulars were marked on the tube along with the label Representative disturbed soil samples were collected from Auger, cutting shoe of the undisturbed sampling assembly and split spoon of standard penetrometer, as per the specification, at close intervals to maintain a continuous record of subsurface strata. The collected samples were kept in airtight polythene packets and labeled properly about project name, date of sampling, borehole number, and depth of sampling. 6, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) These tests were conducted in the boreholes at regular intervals or the change of strata; it was carried out by standard sampler (a split-spoon sampler) of standard design and dimension (50 mm OD and 35 mm ID, with minimum length of 450 mm). The sampler was driven by a 63.5 kg drive weight (monkey) as per guidelines laid in IS: 2131. As per the IS code of practice for this test, the monkey was allowed to fall on the top of the drill rod from a height of 750 mm several times until the sample penetrates about 150 mm. into the soil as a seating drive. The numbers of blows required to drive the spoon from 150 mm to 450 mm i.e., beyond the seating drive, were recorded and this number of blows is called 'N’ value or Standard Penetration Test (SPT) value of the sub-soil at that particular depth Where the test has been carried out on completion of a test, the split spoon sampler was brought out of the borehole and opened the same. The collected soil sample from the split spoon sampler was preserved in air tight polythene packets for classification purpose. The samples were labeled properly with the project name, borehole and the depth of sampling 7. Ground Water Table (GWT) Ground water observations were made during boring and the depth at which it was encountered and the standing water level was recorded in the respective bore logPROJECT NAME -: Carrying out Complete Geotechnical Investigation of River Crossing for Pipeline Project at Rourkela sheet. Moreover the standing water level was measured in the boreholes after 24 hours of removal of casings. It was noticed that the ground water table was observed at a borehole, Such as depth for 0.50 m, 0.00 m and 1.00 m for BH-1, BH-2 and BH-3 respectively below ground level in a borehole. However, in the existing condition, these levels of ground water are likely to change with the seasonal variation 8, LABORATORY TEST The soil samples from the 100 mm diameter sampling tubes were extracted in the laboratory by pushing out the soil cone by employing and extractor frame. The cone was jacked out in the direction that corresponds with the soil movement within the tube during sampling. The extracted samples using 100 mm diameter were made to the actual size of the samples to be used for the testing. Relevant laboratory tests were conducted on selected disturbed and undisturbed soil samples collected during the field investigation for proper identification, classification and for determining the various engineering properties including the shear strength parameters of these sub-soils deposits. Some of the routine tests were also carried out using the soil samples. In general, the following tests were carried out on representative soil samples collected from exploratory boreholes at different depth’ strata: 1. Natural Moisture content (NMC) Atterberg limits Bulk density/ Dry density Triaxial test Unconfined compressive strength test Grain size analysis NOARON Consolidation tests. The above mentioned laboratory tests were conducted as per the relevant Indian Standard Codes of practice and the results of these tests are furnished in the Annexure of this report. Results have been presented in the form of tables and graphs.PROJECT NAME -: Carrying out Complete Geotechnical Investigation of River Crossing for Pipeline Project at Rourkela 8.1 Natural Moisture Content (NMC) and Atterberg Limits Natural moisture content (NMC), Liquid limit (LL), Plastic limit (PL), and Shrinkage limit (SL) of silty clay/ clayey silt samples were determined to (a) classify the soil by the unified soil classification system, (b) qualitatively assess their consistency and compressibility, and © obtain swelling characteristics of the soil. Soil has been considered both from disturbed and undisturbed samples collected from the exploratory boreholes. 8.2 Bulk density and Dry density These were determined by measuring the weight and dimension of triaxial unconfined compression test samples. The dry density has been caloulated from the estimated bulk density and the NMC, The bulk density and dry density values have been given in the laboratory test results sheets. 8.3 Grain size analysis (Sieve and Hydrometer) The grain size distribution of some representative samples were determined from sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis depending upon the average grain diameter of the soil samples. The higher grained samples like sand were analyzed through sieve and the lower grain samples like fine silt and clay were analyzed through hydrometer. The results have been presented in the tables and graphs. 8.4 Tri-axial Test and Unconfined Compressive strength test For Tri-axial test, 38 mm diameter and 76 mm long specimens were obtained by jacking out the soil core into three thin-walled brass tubes, each having a wall thickness of 1/800 mm. The inside of the tubes was coated with a thin layer of silicon oil. To obtain the specimens for consolidation test the Odometer ring was placed on the trimmed horizontal face of the soil within the 100 mm sampling tube and the soil around the cutting edge was gradually removed with a spatula as the ring was gently pushed into the soil. The ring with the soil was then removed by cutting across the soil core with the help of piano wire saw. The Tri-axial test was conducted on the clay / silty clay/ clayey silt samples to determine the shear strength parameters of the collected soil samples. The cell pressuresPROJECT NAME -: Carrying out Complete Geotechnical Investigation of River Crossing for Pipeline Project at Rourkela ‘employed for the test were 1.0 kg/ om?, 1.5 kg/ om?, and 2.0 kg/ cm?. The strain rate for the triaxial test under quick condition has been taken 1.25 mm/min. The samples both for Triaxial test and unconfined compressive strength test were loaded maximum upto 20% of axial strain, if not failed before the said strain. 8.5 Consolidation test Consolidation test was conducted in floating ring type odometers in single and four units consolidation frame under standard load increment ratio starting from % kg/cm? and upto 8 kg/cm? in general. The soil was kept saturated during the consolidation test, as specified the relevant IS code of practice. The void ratio (e) vs. Log (p) curves has been presented in the report as Annexure. The values of cx/(1+e0), which represents the volume compressibility of soil at different depths are given in the report as results in the form of data sheet. During consolidation no swelling pressure was observed during the incremental loading in the tests. 9.A. SOIL PROFILE The subsoil stratification has been considered for the design.
