Ground water table is not encountered even at a depth of 3.0m below

existing ground level.

4.1.1 Reconnaissance:
a) Description of site (level or sloping) : sloping
b) General geology of site (in-situ soil, alluvial soil) : in-situ soil
c) Details of existing or demolished buildings and trees : Nil
d) Level of site with respect to road level : @ 2.00m above road level
(e)Local inquiry on GW conditions & Soil stratification: Nil
f) Comment on fill (Thickness, soil type and age) : Filled up Soil Found
g) Distance of site from coast : Far approx. 200 km
h) Is any water body (river/ nalla/ etc) exist near site : No Nalla / River Found

RECOMMENDATIONS

The safe bearing pressure of soil has been evaluated as per IS 6403-
1982, IS 8009 part I- 1993, as per Terzaghi Theory is determine.
RCC Isolated / Strip Foundation may be adopted through and allowable
Safe Bearing Capacity for minimum 3.0 m width of Footing is recommended.

Table 5.1 Details of Recommended Safe Bearing Capacity

03 01 3.0 Reddish latterite mixed 75.00 2.50 30.00
disintegtated fragmented boulder
mixed rock with low plasticity

5.2. Type of Foundations:

The following open types of Foundations are recommended.
i) RCC Isolated / Strip Footing

5.3 Additional Recommendations:

· The recommended minimum depth of foundation shall be 2.0m below EGL.
· All the columns are to be connected by an RCC Tie Beam at plinth level.
· From the results it is seen that soil is non swelling in nature.

Note: The recommendations were made in this report based on 1 Nos.

150mm size Auger borehole or one Trial Pit of Size 1.5 m x 1.5m x 3.0
m investigations. During actual excavation if you encountered with any
change of strata or low SPT value, it is advisable to bring to the notice
of Consultants.

From above results site can be classified under class 1 as per IS-456, therefore
attack of sulphates and chlorides to O.P.C.is negligible. Hence
O.P.C.construction can be made consideration to foundation and underground
works.
