When the bed rock is met, the surface should be plotted by a number of borings or surroundings in order to locate any depressions. For this purpose, a few borings and sub-surface soundings are first made at large intervals and intermediate values, if needed, can be normally obtained by soundings, or by further borings in case of unpredictable profile nature. ACCORDING TO STANDARD The following specifications are laid down in this regard 1. For a compact building site covering an area of about 0.4 hectare (Le. 4000 m?), one bore hole or trial pit in each corner and one in the centre (ie. 5 boreholes in all) should be adequate. 2. For smaller areas and less important buildings even one bore hole or trial pit in the centre should be sufficient. 3, For very large areas covering industrial and residential colonies, the ‘geological nature of the terrain will help in deciding the number of bore holes or trial pits. Dynamic or static cone penetration tests may be performed at every 100 metre by dividing the area in a grid pattern and numbers of bore holes or trial pits are decided by examining the variation in the penetration curves. 4, For exploration purposes, the minimum depth is taken as 1.5 m because the weathering processes affect the soil up to this depth. But ‘where industrial processes affect the soil characteristics this depth may be more, 5. Normally the depth of exploration should be taken 1.5 to 2 times the estimated width of the largest footings (single or combined), from the base level foundation; but in weak soils, the exploration should be continued to a depth at which the loads can be carried safely (generally up to the hard stratum). ACCORDING TO THUMB RULE The following values are suggested 1. For preliminary estimate, the boring spacing may be adopted as follows: Types of Buildings Very Uniform Soil Average Soil Multisstoreyed 30-60m 15-30m htpeivbiog.og/2015108/26Mnow4o-decide-depth-and:-spacing-oF-val-pts-and-borng!

Asingle rule about the depth of exploration which is found to be satisfactory for most conditions is 2.5 m to 3.5 m of borings depth for each floor in the building or its equivalent in loading, Note: The depth of boring depends upon the type of proposed structure, its total weight and the type of sub-soil encountered. Though normally the depth of boring may be taken as 1.5 times the width of largest footing, but at least on boring should be made deep enough to ascertain the existence of any exceptionally compressible stratum, preferably up to rock, Your growth is my Inspiration and your comment is my Motivation.
