 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED
MULTISTORY BUILDING (G+5) AT Dr. S KUMAR LAYOUT,
NAGAYANAPALYA, BNEGLAURU.

INTRODUCTION
M/s. ARIL VENTURES. Bengaluru had entrusted us with the work of carrying out the
geotechnical

investigation for the Proposed Construction of Multistory Building (G+5) at Dr. S Kumar Layout,

Nagayanapalya, Bengaluru. The primary objective of this investigation is to establish the geotechnical

condition at the site and to evaluate the allowable bearing pressure and other engineering design

parameters through the various field and laboratory tests. This report consists of the details about the

field and laboratory tests performed and the recommendations made based on the test results.

SCOPE
The scope of work includes both the field and laboratory tests Three boreholes by manual auger method
were drilled in the construction area to obtain the sub-surface stratification. Fig 1: shows the location of
the boreholes on the entire plan of the proposed construction site.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
Boring and Sampling
150 mm diameter boring at all places is carried out in accordance with IS: 1892 -1979 Code of
Practice for sub-surface investigation of foundation (re – affirmed in 1992) by adopting auger
boring. Representative / undisturbed samples are collected at different depths as the boring
operation progressed. Various laboratory tests are conducted on the samples collected. Standard
penetration tests are conducted at every 1.50m interval as per IS: 2131 – 1981.

Field testing
Standard penetration test
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is carried out at different depths in all the boreholes & the ‘N’ values
are recorded. The number of blows required to drive a 50mm diameter split spoon sampler for a depth
of 30cm using a 63.5 kg hammer for a drop of 75cm is recorded as ‘N’ value.
The results of all the penetration tests are performed in each of the boreholes and they are shown in
their respective Bore logs. The test is halted if,
i) 50 blows are required for any 150mm penetration.
ii) 100 blows are required for 300mm penetration.
iii) 10 successive blows produce no advance and the N – value is recorded as “REFUSAL”.

LABORATORY TESTING
Samples procured were transported to laboratory for obtaining Index and Engineering properties. In the
laboratory, samples were visually classified by Geotechnical Engineer. Laboratory tests are being
carried out as per relevant IS: 2720 guidelines.
Generally Soil Samples were tested for following parameters
 Particle Size analysis
 Bulk Density
 Natural Moisture content
 Atterberg’s limits
 Direct Shear strength tests.
The above said test results are tabulated in table 1 to 3.
SUB SOIL PROFILE
The sub-soil formations comprise of from 0.00 to 1.50m (Filled Up) depth Reddish Brown Gravelly
Clayey Silty Sand followed by 1.50m to 3.00m Greyish Brown with light Yellow Clayey Silty Sand
was encountered up to 3.00m In BH-01. All Bore Hole were terminated at the stage of “REFUSAL
STRATA”. During the time of investigation water table was not encountered, however the same may
be subjected to seasonal fluctuations.

CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions are drawn based on field and laboratory investigations.
1. All Bore Hole were terminated at the stage of “REFUSAL STRATA”.
2. During the time of investigation water table was not encountered, however the same may be
subjected to seasonal fluctuations.
3. The standard penetration resistance indicates that the sub-soil is medium dense followed by
dense in nature.
4. The atterberg’s limits indicate that the sub-soil is medium compressible in nature.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are made based on the detailed investigation conducted at the
proposed construction site.
 Isolated/combined footing up to maximum width of 2m/combined foundation may be
designed with the following allowable bearing pressure of, which gives a factor of safety of
3.0 against shear failure and for an allowable settlement of 25mm:

Depth below Natural Ground Level Net SBC KN/m2

1.50m Average Filled Up
2.00m 167
2.50m 205
3.00m 244
3.50m 285
Note:
 SBC has given below the Natural Ground Level.
 During excavations, in case any variation is noticed in the strata/seepage water, same shall be
brought to the notice of geotechnical engineer for review of net SBC recommended.
