REPORT ON SOIL INVESTIGATION AND FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF TRANSIT ACCOMMODATION
BUILDING AT ASANUR.
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
M/s.Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Chennai are planning to construct transit

accommodation building at Asanur, (Ulundurpet), Viluppuram District, Tamilnadu, India.
M/s. Mars Synergy Geotech Pvt Ltd, Chennai, carried out this investigation and
completed on 10th May 2011 according to the instructions from owner of the project.
The scope of work includes the following:

Making two numbers of Standard Soil Investigation bore-holes
Collecting soil samples at regular depth intervals
Conducting SPTs at every 1.0m/1.50m depth intervals
Conducting laboratory tests on samples collected
Submitting report with laboratory test results and recommendations for
foundations.
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE:
The proposed structure is transit accommodation building (G+2). The exact details of
columns are not available at the time of preparation of this report. Assuming an
approximate column spacing of 4 to 5 m c/c considering this the central column load
works about 70 tones for proposed building. These loads are assumed for the purpose
of foundation only and for the structural design, exact loads are to be estimated based
on a suitable structural analysis.
1.2 SOIL INVESTIGATION:

The field investigation works were carried our using 1 set of Rotary mechanical drilling
Rig. The following activities, carried out in chronological sequence, comprised the
fieldwork for the project
• Mobilisation of rotary drill rig, water pump, testing tools and accessories.
• Collection of disturbed samples of non-cohesive soils.
• Sampling and logging of the boreholes. Packing, labeling and dispatching the
samples to laboratory.
• Field investigation, tests and laboratory tests conducted as per IS-1892 and IS -2720
Geo-Technical Investigation Report 1
Building at Asanur
1.3 FIELD SAMPLING:

Two number of standard soil investigation borehole of 150mm diameter was made at the
locations shown in the figure, MSGTPL/SI-1574 enclosed. Investigations were
conducted 6.50m & 8.0m from existing ground level where SPT is more than 50blows.
SPTs were conducted at every 1.5m depth intervals and samples were collected for
identification and testing.
1.4 LABORATORY TESTS
The laboratory-testing scheme is so designed to obtain the design parameters for the
foundations. The following parameters are evaluated:
Type of soil and it's gradation properties

Atterberg Limits
Specific Gravity
Natural Moisture Content (NMC)
Sieve analysis on the coarse grained soil fraction
All the test results are presented in the tabular forms. Comprehensive field information
along with SPT values is presented on separate sheet.
1.5 SOIL PROFILE:
Based on visual identification of soil samples and test results (of both field and
laboratory tests), the soil profile arrived. Subsoil is made-up of four distinctive layers
there are
(i) Brownish soft silty CLAY up to -1.0m with SPT’s N=2

(ii) Brownish Silty Fine to Medium SAND -1.0m to -2.0m with SPT’s N=9
(iii) Brownish SAND with Stone Pieces -2.0m to -5.0m with SPT’s N=18-27
(iv) Dark Brownish Moorum With Mica-5.0m to -8.0m with SPT’s N= >100
The soil profile details are presented in the bore-chart.

1.6 GROUND WATER TABLE

At the time of soil investigation (09/5/2011 to 10/5/2011), the ground water table was
(-)0.42m encountered within the drilled depth.
1.7 DISCUSSION ON FOUNDATION

From the sub soil profile and laboratory test data, it can be seen that top 1.0m soft clay
followed by loose to medium dense SAND up to -5.0m. From -5.0m onwards very dense
moorum.
Based on soil strata for 3 storied residential building shallow foundation can be adopted
at -2.5m level. SBC calculations are shown below.
1.8 RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt open shallow foundation in the form of isolated footing/ strip raft at a depth of
2.5m below the G.L
The Safe bearing capacity can be taken of soil at 2.5m below G.L can be taken as
180kN/sq.m.
Foundation should rest on 100mm thick 1:4:8 concrete mat.
Columns shall be tied in both directions at plinth level.
All foundation works should be done in dry conditions only.
Excavated soil (CLAY SOIL) should not back fill in the foundation trench.

2.0 DETERMINATION OF BEARING CAPACITY OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS

[Based On IS: 6403-1981]
Size of Footing (1.5x1.5m) Calculation Purpose

Depth of Foundation: 2.5m
Existing Ground level: 0.00M
Ground Water Table level: -0.00M (Due to Heavy Rain Temporary)
Bulk Density (W) of Soil above Footing Base: 1.65
Submerged Density (W') of Soil above Footing Base: 0.65T/Cu.M.
Bulk Density (W) of Soil below Footing Base: 1.65/Cu.M.
Factor of Safety 3.0
Shape factor Depth Factor Inclination Factor

Sq = 1.200 Dq = 1.31 Iq = 1.000
Sg = 0.600 Dg = 1.31 Ig = 1.000
Water Table Correction Factor w’ = 0.50

Effective surcharge at base level q = 1.875 T/Sq.M.
Ultimate Net B.C. = Qult_n = q*(Nq-1)*Sq*Dq*Iq + 0.5*B*W*Ng*Sg*Dg*Ig*W'
Angle of Internal Friction (phai): 300

Bearing Capacity Factors
Nq = 18.40, Ng = 22.40
Thus Qult_n =54.50T/Sq.M.
Allowable Bearing Capacity (Qall) =18.17/Sq.M. Say 18T/m2
Settlement Calculations as per IS-8009-(Part1) 1998

S= Sc+Si
Sc≈10mm
(1 − µ 2 )
Si = pB I
Es
(1 − 0.3 2 )
Si = 18 x1.5 1.13 = 0.02145m =0.02145x1000=21.45mm
1500
S= Sc+Si
S=10+21.45=31.45mm
Total settlements 31.45 mm, It is less than 40mm hence it is safe

Geo-Technical Investigation Report

REPORT ON SOIL INVESTIGATION AND FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS

M/s.Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Chennai are planning to construct transit

The scope of work includes the following:

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE:

1.2 SOIL INVESTIGATION:

1.3 FIELD SAMPLING:

1.4 LABORATORY TESTS

Type of soil and it's gradation properties

1.5 SOIL PROFILE:

(i) Brownish soft silty CLAY up to -1.0m with SPT’s N=2

Geo-Technical Investigation Report 2

1.6 GROUND WATER TABLE

1.7 DISCUSSION ON FOUNDATION

Foundation should rest on 100mm thick 1:4:8 concrete mat.

Columns shall be tied in both directions at plinth level.

All foundation works should be done in dry conditions only.

Geo-Technical Investigation Report 3

2.0 DETERMINATION OF BEARING CAPACITY OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS

Size of Footing (1.5x1.5m) Calculation Purpose

Shape factor Depth Factor Inclination Factor

Water Table Correction Factor w’ = 0.50

Angle of Internal Friction (phai): 300

Settlement Calculations as per IS-8009-(Part1) 1998

Total settlements 31.45 mm, It is less than 40mm hence it is safe
