4 INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
4.1 METHODOLOGY OF FIELD TESTS
Soil investigation work is carried out as per IS codes & Technical Specification for
Geotechnical Investigation Work.
4.1.1 DRILLING METHODOLOGY
A. DRILLING AND SAMPLING

After setting the drilling rig at particular borehole location a casing of suitable
diameter is fixed through which specified diameter borehole can be drilled. The
geotechnical Investigation is carried out as per IS 1892 – 1979: “Code of Practice for
subsoil Investigations for foundations".
The rig deployed at the site is rotary type calyx drilling rig with mud
circulation method. These rigs have an arrangement for driving and extracting of
casing, boring, and drilling by mud circulation method, conducting SPT tests,
collection of disturbed & undisturbed samples. Casing is used to support sides of
borehole until stiff strata is encountered.
B. STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (SPT)

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) are carried out at intervals of 1.5 metres and at
any change of strata, in accordance with IS 2131 – 1981. Using this procedure, the
split spoon sampler resting on the bottom of borehole is allowed to sink under its
own weight. The entire sampler may sometimes sink under its own weight when very
soft sub-soil stratum is encountered. Under such conditions, it may not be
necessary to give any blow to the split spoon sampler and SPT value is indicated as
zero.
This split-barrel sampler is driven into the soil by 63.5 kilograms weight falling
through 75 centimetres height. After an initial set of 15 centimetres, the number of
Page | 02
blows required to drive the sampler an additional 30 centimetres, is known as
“penetration resistance” or “N value”. The N values are indicative of the relative
density of cohesion less soils and consistencies of cohesive soils. Each sample
retrieved from SPT spoon is inspected for visual identification of strata as per IS
1498. The samples are preserved in polythene bags, duly numbered and N values
mentioned for proper identification.
The sampler is lowered to the bottom of the borehole. The following information is
noted and recorded:
a. Depth of bottom of borehole below ground level,
b. Penetration of the sampler into the soil under the combined weight of
sampler and rods (noted from readings of the scale over the drill rod at the
top),
c. Water level in the borehole or casing and
d. Depth of bottom of casing below ground level.
C. ROCK DRILLING
When SPT refusal is obtained in hard strata, the diameter of the borehole is reduced
to NX. Tungsten carbide, Diamond impregnated bit is used in weathered/ hard rock
strata. Rock coring is done using diamond bit and double tube core barrel to obtain
good quality rock samples. Percent Rock Core Recovery (%RCR) and percent Rock
Quality Designation (%RQD) where, % RQD = 100 x Sum of Length of Rock Pieces
(cm) [each having lengths > 10 cm]/ Total Length of Core Run (cm). Rock core
samples recovered in drilling are arranged sequentially and numbered. All samples
were stored in sturdy good quality wooden boxes and boxes are identified.

Following observations are recorded during drilling operation
• During drilling operation / observation of return water.
• The colour of return water, the depth at which any change of colour of return
water is observed and recorded.
• Any heavy vibration or torque during drilling is recorded with depth.
• All the observation and other details are recorded as a daily drill report.
• Presence of artisan condition, drill water loss observed with depth and
recorded.
D. BOREHOLE TERMINATION CRITERION

Bore holes are terminated at depths as per specifications or as directed by the client/
contract.
E. GROUND WATER OBSERVATION

Water level is observed in the boreholes after 24 hrs on completion of bore holes
F. WATER SAMPLING
Collection of ground water sample for chemical analysis is as per IS 3025 or as per
the specification.

7 GENERAL GEOLOGY
GEOLOGY OF PUNE
The rocks present at the site belong to Deccan trap series of peninsular India. The
rocks occurring are Compact Basalts and amygdaloidal basalt with gas cavities filled
with secondary minerals, which give them a spotted appearance.
Basalt, extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock that is low in silica content, dark in colour,
and comparatively rich in iron and magnesium.
Some basalts are quite glassy (tachylitic), and many are very fine-grained and
compact. It is more usual, however, for them to exhibit porphyritic structure, with
larger crystals (phenocrysts) of olivine, augite, or feldspar in a finely
crystalline matrix (groundmass). Olivine and augite are the most common porphyritic
minerals in basalts; porphyritic plagioclase feldspars are also found.
Basaltic lavas are frequently spongy or pumiceous; the steam cavities become filled
with secondary minerals such as calcite, chlorite, and zeolites.
COMPACT BASALTS
All compact basalts flows occur as thick extensive flows characterized by regular
tabular form. Tops and bottoms are approximately parallel plane surfaces. They
have large lateral extent and have been traced for distances up to 20 km and the
larger ones cover an area about 100 sq km.
AMYGDALOIDAL BASALTS
Amygdaloidal basalt on the other hand, shows much variation in field character and
is characterized by much smaller size and irregular form. They usually do not occur
as thick, extensive and tabular as compact basalt flows do. In the thick chaotic piles
of smaller irregular flows of very limited lateral extent. They fall into two groups
similar in all respects except size, the thin ones being up to 2.50 m in the thickness
Page | 07
and up to 40.00 m in lateral extent. They characteristically show pinching and
bulging and very often, changes in thickness are very certain.
HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION
Magmatic gases that produce cavities sometimes chemically alter the basalts, that
this action is called hydrothermal alteration. The normal grey or bluish colour of
basalt is turned into shades of green, pink, red, purple or brown by hydrothermal
alteration. Most commonly hydrothermal alteration brings about only such colour
changes in basalts without affecting their physical properties but more intense
hydrothermal alteration at time weakens rocks.
TACHYLITE
Basalt in which practically no crystallization has taken place and which consist
mostly of basalt glass are called Tachylite. They are very fine grained because of low
degree of crystallization and pitch black when fresh. Black Tachylite on hydrothermal
alteration acquires a vivid red colour and red Tachylites are more common than the
black variety. Both black and red tachylites disintegrate on exposure to atmosphere
and fall to powder. The red powdery material commonly passing under name of red
bole is nothing but red Tachylite which has disintegrated on exposure to atmosphere.

Soil in volume, but the soil has not been significantly
transported.
As per IS 4464
It should be understood that all grades of weathering may not be seen in a given
rock mass and that in some cases a particular grade may be present to a very small
extent. Distribution of the various weathering grades of rock material in the rock
mass may be related to the porosity of the rock material and the presence of open
discontinuities of all types in the rock mass.
C. Rock quality is further measured by frequency of natural joints in rock mass. Rock
Quality Designation (RQD) is used to define state of fractures or massiveness of
rock. Following table defines the quality of rock mass.

9 SUB-SURFACE PROFILE
During the course of investigation, the following layers of stratum are observed. Details are
furnished in the bore logs attached in Annexure - II.
LAYER I – FILLING
This layer is encountered below ground level in the boreholes. The lower boundary of this
layer is encountered at a depth of 1.55 to 1.60m below ground level. SPT-N value is refusal.
LAYER II – GREYISH HARD GRAVELLY CLAY

This layer is encountered below layer I in borehole BH-3 only. The lower boundary of this
layer is encountered at a depth of 1.90m below ground level.
LAYER III – BASALT BEDROCK

Amygdaloidal basalt bedrock is encountered below layer I and II in the borehole and is found
to be completetely weathered to fresh rock. Core recoveries ranged between 15 to 100%
and RQD ranged between Nil to 100%. The boreholes were terminated at this layer below
ground level.

10 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Weathered rock is encountered in the borehole at shallow depth. Hence considering
the strata and type of structure, Shallow Spread Foundation can be installed on
this weathered rock and SBC can be taken as shown in the table below.
Foundations should have a minimum embedment of 0.6m in Weathered Rock.

Bearing capacity of foundation placed on rock as per IS 12070 “Design and

Construction of Shallow Foundation on Rocks” and IS 13365 (Part I) “Quantitative
Classification System of Rock Mass”. RMR (Rock Mass Rating) of the stratum at
foundation depth is determined. Based on the RMR, IS12070 recommends safe
bearing capacity value.
Maximum settlement of spread foundations will be less than 12mm in rock.
Exact foundation depth will depend on up-lift forces on the foundations.
For foundations placed on weathered rock, it is essential to ensure that there are no
loose pockets on rock surface. In case of loose pockets or over excavation, it shall
be filled by plain cement concrete.
It shall be ensured that all the foundations shall rest on one type of sub soil / rock to
minimize differential settlements.
Since water is encountered, suitable dewatering system will be required, so that

excavation for foundations as well as placement of concrete for foundations can be
carried out in dry condition.
Page | 12
Modulus of subgrade reaction can be arrived by dividing the allowable pressure by
their respective settlement.
Provide M15 levelling course below individual foundations placed on rocks. Care
should be taken to remove loosened pieces of rock from the foundation after
blasting, washing and air jetting has been done so that foundation rests on
practically undisturbed rock mass.
PILE FOUNDATIONS
Bored cast-in-situ piles can also be utilized for support of proposed structures. The
approximate length of pile below ground / bed level considering socket length is
given in Table 7 below. Pile rock Socketing along with corresponding pile capacities
are given in Table 8 below. Piles can be terminated earlier if hard bedrock is
encountered, which makes it practically impossible for piling equipment to penetrate
further.

Typically one of the methods to ensure that piles are seated on rock of adequate
capacity is to adopt “Chiseling Criteria”. It is normally considered that chisel
energy of 350 to 450T-m / m2 for 10 cm penetration of chisel will indicate rock
with compressive strength of 100 Kg /cm 2. However it is essential to perform
empty bore tests with known chisel weight and fall and calibrate against
compressive strength reported in laboratory test results. For hydraulic rotary rigs
with minimum torque of 180 KN-m, piles can be terminated if penetration is less
than 20 cms in 10 minutes of drilling.
Other relevant quality control tests as recommended in IS Code such as

collection of concrete samples, performing initial and routine load tests on piles,
bottom flushing of pile before pouring concrete, pouring pile concrete using
tremie etc. shall be carried out as per project specifications and relevant IS code.
It is recommended to perform initial and routine load tests and low intensity
impact testing on pile.
Page | 14
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
It is essential to ensure that trees and other landscaped area will be about 3.0 m
away from the structure boundary. Area around the structure shall have proper slope
so that the water is drained away from the structure boundary. It is expected that
concrete apron will be provided around the structure. This will reduce ingress of
water.
FOUNDATION PROTECTION
As per IS456-2000, CIRIA Special Publication No. 31, and Reference No. 4. A mild
exposure condition was assigned to this site. Hence, following precautions shall be
taken to protect concrete and reinforcement in foundations;
a) Type of cement OPC or PPC
b) Minimum Grade of concrete M25
c) Minimum Cement Content 300 kg/m3
d) Maximum Water Cement Ratio 0.50
e) Minimum Cover for Reinforcement 50 mm

PILES SOCKETED 1D IN BEDROCK for BH-01:
A) SKIN FRICTION CAPACITY:
Safe Skin Friction Capacity = Qsf = Qc x α x β x (π x D x Ls) [From Reference 6]

Where,
Qc = uniaxial compressive strength of rock = 3400 T/m2 (Conservatively restricted)
α = Rock socket side resistance reduction factor = 0.05 for Qc of 3400 t/m2
β = Rock socket correction factor = minimum of 0.2
D = Diameter of pile = 0.6m
Ls = Socket length into the rock = 0.6m
Qsf = 3400 x 0.05 x 0.2 x (3.14 x 0.6 x 0.6) = 38.43 tons
B) END BEARING CAPACITY:
Safe load carrying capacity = Qeb = Qc x NØ x Nj x Ap [Reference 6]

Where,
Qc = uniaxial compressive strength of rock = 3400 T/m2 (Conservatively restricted)
NØ = Depth factor = 0.8 + 0.2 (ls/D) = 1 for 1D rock socket
Nj = 0.1 to 0.4 (assumed as 0.15 for moderately weathered bedrock at pile tip)
Ap = Area of pile toe = 0.283 m2
Qeb = 3400 x 1.0 x 0.15 x 0.283 = 144.33 tons
THEREFORE,
SAFE VERTICAL PILE CAPACITY = 38.43 + 144.33 = 182.76 tons
Say 180.00 tons
SAFE UPLIFT CAPACITY = 38.43/1.5 = 25.62 tons

Say 25.00 tons

The Purpose of the investigation is to determine the subsurface stratification. To

The scope of work includes the following.

• Sinking of total 04 no’s of boreholes designated as BH-1 to BH-4 upto 10.0m

depth below ground level.

• Megascopic lithologic characteristics and identification of rock mass types in

Core specimens from the geotechnical point of view.

• Collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples and transportation of

selected soil and rock samples to laboratory for its analysis.

• Submission of interpretative geotechnical report.
