 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT

1 Introduction:

For foundation analysis of the structure on the site, it is necessary

1 To determine soil profile of the site.

2 To know physical properties and strength characteristics of soil at various depths.
3 To determine the Safe Bearing Capacity of the soil at different depths for the
different width of footings for the test point.
4 To locate the presence of ground water level.
5 To give conclusion and recommendation.

The soil exploration work was carried out at the project site / location given by the client.

The following points were decided:

1 Bore hole - 01
2 Depth of Borehole 5.00 meters

Based on the above points the detailed Geotechnical Program includes

A Field Investigation

1 Drilling of Bore hole

2 Collection of soil samples (Disturbed & Undisturbed)
3 Conducting standard penetration test

B Laboratory Investigation

For Soil
1 Bulk density and moisture contents
2 Grain size analysis
3 Index properties
4 Shear tests

C Recommendations

Based on the above investigations, the results are to be obtained. The findings would be
based on interpretation of results, analysis and computations as per relevant Indian standards.

Bore hole - 01 5.00

BR. No. 2B CH - 6045.250

The exploratory boreholes of 100/150 mm diameter were drilled by Percussion
& Hand Augering method. The depth of the test bore at the
proposed location is 5.00 Meter

2.2 Sampling

2.2.1 Disturbed samples

Disturbed samples were collected during boring and also from the split spoon
sampler. The samples collected were logged, labeled and placed in polyethylene
bags and sent to laboratory for testing.

2.2.2 Undisturbed samples

Undisturbed samples were collected in thin walled Shelby tubes, sealed with
wax, labeled and transported to laboratory for testing.

2.2.3 Standard Penetration Test

The standard penetration tests were conducted in accordance with IS 2131-1981.

The test gives N – Value, which is the number of blows of last 30cms penetration
of split spoon sampler with 65Kg. hammer free fall from 75cms height.

 3 Laboratory Investigation

The following laboratory tests were conducted on undisturbed and disturbed soil samples
collected from various depths to find physical properties and strength characteristics. To
measure the soil properties in the laboratory, following tests were conducted.

 6 A-Typical Calculation for Allowable Bearing Pressure (As per IS 12070 – 1987)
based on Core Strength

Calculation for Permissible Bearing Pressure of Rock

Safe Bearing Pressure(Gross) (qs) = Nj * qc

Where Nj = Empirical coefficient depending upon spacing of discontinuities.

& Including a Factor of Safety of 3

3+S/Bt 0.14
Nj =
10 √1+300ᵟ/S

ᵟ = thickness of discontinuities in cm, 0.4

S = spacing of discontinuities in cm, 30
Bt = footing width in cm. 700

Type of Discontinuity Nj
Very Wide 0.40
Wide 0.25
Moderately 0.10

qc = Average unconfined compressive strength of rock

= 46 Kg/cm2 at 3.00 meter depth

Considering Moderately Discontinuity & Computing the above values,

qs = 0.14 46

= 6.26 Kg/cm

Gross Safe Bearing Pressure = 6.26 Kg/cm2

S.B.P.(Gross) = 62.60 t/m2

Correction for Submerged Condition = 0.50

Correction for Cavities = 1.00

Correction for Slope = 0.50

Say A.B.P. = 16 t/m (After Applying Corrections)

 8 Conclusion & Recommendations:

 The study of the soil investigation at the site at various depths indicates
layers as shown in the general stratifications.
 Ground water table is not encountered at the time of investigation.
 Any variation in stratification in any of the foundation location shall be studied
thoroughly before executing the foundation work.
 For design of foundation, it is recommended that sub-soil condition should be
considered in the influence zone of foundation.
 The depth of Foundation is to be considered from natural ground level.
 S.B.C. / A.B.P. is recommended by considering all the parameters affecting to soil
& rock at the field as well as in the laboratory.
 If at the time of actual excavation major solution cavaties have been found which
have rendered the ground surface uneven, the depth of foundation should be taken
to a level such that 80 percent rock area is available. It must be ensured that the raft
does not over hang at any corner.
 Otherwise excavate the filled up soil up to 80 percent area level and backfill it by
Iean concrete of required strength. However, the rock has to be excavated up to
the pre-selected foundation level.
 If after excavation, loose pockets of talus deposit are found out at a few places, the
same should be cleaned and backfilled with lean concrete.
 If very deep observation pits have been made at the site, the same should be
backfilled by lean concrete up to the foundation level.
 Due attention should be paid to problems of foundation on hetrogeneous rocks
particularly foundations on rock slopes and necessary remedial measures should
be taken.
 Care should be taken to remove loosened pieces of rock from the foundation after
blasting (if required) and washing & air jetting has been done so that foundation rest
on practically undisturbed rock mass.
 Depth of rock may vary other than exploration point so it is advisable to rest the
foudation on rock surface by removing upper loose granular soil strata.
