9.2 Excavation for test setup
This section describes the process of open excavation for plate load test.
➢ Before the excavation for the plate load test is commenced, the site shall be cleared of
vegetation, brushwood, stumps of trees etc. The working area is thus established on the site and
the levels from nearest benchmark shall be transferred to particular location, establishing
temporary benchmark.
➢ Open excavation method shall be carried out using excavators for soil strata and rock breakers
for rocky strata. Open excavation shall facilitate the conduction of plate load test which is used
to ensure the ultimate bearing capacity.
➢ Detailed site survey shall be conducted to record existing ground level conditions and to mark
the area required and the obstructions. All the required equipment, manpower and supervisory
staff shall be mobilized.
➢ Excavation shall be carried out as per the design profile using Excavators/Rock breakers (if
required). At locations where the water table is above the founding level of excavation,
dewatering shall be carried out. Dewatering shall be carried out according to the scheme suitable
for the existing soil profile, soil strata and discharge. The excavated materials suitable for
backfilling shall be carried out at the designated locations.
➢ Excavation inside/near any part of the existing services, structures shall always be properly
fenced and marked with suitable warning boards or lights. Measures shall be taken to safeguard
the utilities encountered during excavation. Material shall not be stacked near the edge of the
excavation or opening in the ground.
➢ Movement of equipment, trucks, and storage of excavated materials shall be such that it will not
obstruct any construction activities of adjacent structures. Wherever required, safety barriers

9.2.1 Excavation in Soil
The soil profile as mentioned in the borelog shall be referred for excavation depth. The Borelogs are
attached as Annexure -III and open excavation is possible for shallow depth as per Borelogs. Safe slope
shall be maintained during excavation in soil. Soil properties and layer thickness shall be chosen from
the nearest available bore log.
9.2.2 Excavation in Rock
Rock breakers shall be used for carrying out excavation in rocks. Boulders shall be handled carefully
while disposing the excavated rock mass. Water seepage if any shall be controlled by sump pumping.
9.3 Dewatering
9.3.1 Sump Pumping
This is the most common method of dewatering as gravity is the main playing force.
i. Sump is created in the excavated area into which the surrounding water converges and
accumulates facilitating easy discharge of water through robust solid handling pumps.

SPEED RAIL

Rev No: 0 Date: 06-01-2021
AT CH. KM-205.447 AS PER JGS 1521-2012
ii. Since the bottom of the sump is situated at a level lower than that of the excavation bottom, it
will abridge the seepage way along which groundwater from outside seeps into the excavation
zone and as a result the exit gradient of the sump bottom will be larger than that on the
excavation surface.
iii. If the excavation area is large, several sumps may be placed along the longer side or simply use
a long narrow sump which is called a ditch. Whereas in our case excavation area for plate load
test is very minimal, dewatering shall be carried out with single sump system. The water
collected in the sump shall be pumped out periodically using submersible pump.
The typical arrangement of sump pumping method is shown in Figure 10.

5. At the proposed test location, stand in Excavator 210 is used as the loading platform.
6. The CG of the loading plate shall coincide with the CG of the Excavator 210 platform.
7. An initial seating pressure of 7 kPa is applied as a preliminary loading to improve the contact
between the ground and the loading plate. The seating pressure is released before starting the
test. In order to increase contact between the loading plate and the test ground, a thin layer of
dry sand may be spread over the test ground.
8. The load for first stage is then placed on plate and settlements are recorded by means of dial
gauges.
9. The load increments shall be one-eighth of the ultimate bearing capacity
10. Displacement measurements at every loading step shall be recorded at 0, 1, 2 and 5 minutes and
thereafter for every 5 minutes up to 30 minutes as per Clause 5.4.4 of JGS 1521-2012.
11. The load at every step during loading is maintained for 30 minutes approximately.
12. After reaching the maximum test load, the unloading shall be carried out in stages with holding
time of 5 minutes for every stage.
9.4.1 In case bearing stratum is Rock
1. During the preparation of test surface, any parts of the rock that have been loosened by
excavation or any damaged rock shall be removed. The surface shall be levelled to eliminate
significant irregularities. The minimum extent to be finished is around 1.5 to 2 times larger than
the diameter of the loading plate as per Clause 5.2.2 of JGS 1521-2012.
2. In order to ensure proper contact between loading plate and test rock surface, a cement paste or
other facing material shall be applied to the test ground before placing the loading plate

UBC.
a) Loading pressure at the point at which settlement increases dramatically until it becomes
generally parallel to settlement axis in ‘P v/s S’ curve (Figure 13 curve A).
b) If (a) cannot be clearly determined and as long as the settlement of the plate does not exceed
10% of the plate diameter, UBC shall be interpreted to be the smaller of below
i. Loading pressure at which settlement linearly increases on ‘P v/s S’ curve (Figure 13
curve B)
ii. Loading pressure at which settlement becomes parallel to settlement axis on ‘log P v/s
S’ curve (Figure 14)

c) If it is difficult to determine either (a) or (b) and it is confirmed that settlement of the plate
exceeds 10% of the plate diameter, loading pressure corresponding to the point at which
settlement is equal to 10% of plate diameter is considered as UBC.
d) If there is a sudden and dramatic change in state of loading plate and surrounding ground and it
begins to be difficult to maintain the load or apply a new staged load, the corresponding loading
pressure is taken as UBC.
