REPORT
Manganese Ore India Ltd. (MOIL), Balaghat has proposed to construct the High speed Shaft at
Balaghat mine.
M/s. P. T. MASE & ASSOCIATES, Nagpur was awarded with the job of geotechnical Investigations to
generate the required geotechnical parameters for design of suitable foundations.
M/s. P. T. MASE & ASSOCIATES, Nagpur has completed the work of soil investigation at 7 borehole &
trial pit locations. Location and depth of investigation were decided by the client. Standard penetration
tests (SPT) were conducted in these boreholes. Disturbed & undisturbed soil/ rock samples were
collected from these boreholes & trial pit for laboratory testing. UU-triaxial/ direct shear test along with
other soil/ rock tests were carried out in laboratory to ascertain the safe pressure on the encountered
strata.
The Allowable Bearing Capacity is presented in clause - 6 of this report (Discussions &
Recommendations). All the tests were conducted as per B.I.S. codes.

6.1) The general stratification of this site was comprise of filling/ dump material at the top followed by
clayey sandy soil up to certain depth. This layer was underlying alternate layer of highly weathered
and weathered yellowish Mica Schist up to the depth of investigation.
6.2) Seepage of water was observed up to 6.00m depth and this factor should be considered at design
stage.
6.3) At all locations for allowable bearing capacity calculation and other for recommendations the depth
was considered from original ground level excluding the depth of top dump material.
6.4) All the dump material should be removed before execution of work. In no case foundation should be
rested on filling /dump material.
6.5) For major structure Raft foundation shall be provided at all test locations and rested at min. 7.5m
depth from OGL. At this depth recommended allowable bearing capacity of 20.00 T/m2 and 11.00
T/m2 may be considered with 50mm & 25mm permissible settlement respectively. Below PCC a
min.150mm thick well graded sand layer shall be provided.

2 2
T/m and 11.00 T/m may be considered with 50mm permissible settlement respectively.
At foundation level of same structure different stratification (Soft/hard) may encountered hence there
are chances of differential settlement. So foundation shall be designed considering this aspect with
lower permissible settlement.

As per the report C = 39 kN/m2 & φ = 6.5 0 φ' = 4.37 Bulk unit weight (γ) = 18 kN/m3
Assuming the depth factor, shape factor and load inclination factors as unity (1) &
assuming the water table correction factor as 0.5.Since φ = 6.5 0 local shear failure is
considered. The ultimate bearing capacity is calculated as under: IS 6403 Clause -5.1.2
The SBC work out by shear failure criteria to be check for settlement as per IS:1904-1986 for
foundation resting on clayey soil.

*Note: K = Influence factor for uniformly loaded rectangular area by After Newmark’s 1935.
Correction for depth factor = 0.85 (as per fig. 12 of IS: 8009)
For pressure intensity of 9.00t/m2 the total settlement is within the permissible limit. To keep the
differential settlement within the limit the size of the footing must be proportionate.
Hence the recommended allowable bearing capacity at 3.00m for footing size of 6m is 9.00

SAFE BEARING CAPACITY FOR COHESIONLESS SOIL BY SHEAR FAILURE CRITERIA FROM
SPT N-VALUE:
BH-1
Depth (Dt) = 5.00m
As per the report N= 41 N’’ = 28 φ = 35.5 Bulk unit weight (γ) = 18 kN/m3
Assuming the depth factor, shape factor and load inclination factors as unity (1) & assuming the
water table correction factor as 0.5.Since φ = 35.5 local shear is considered. The ultimate bearing
capacity is calculated as under: IS 6403 Clause -5.2.2.1
= 1317.48 + 304.40
= 1621.88 kN/m2
= 165.33 T/m2
Considering factor of safety = 3
qs = 55.11 T/m2
Settlement= 11/0.5=22 mm
Hence allowable bearing capacity at 5.00m for footing size of 6m is 22.00 T/m2 for isolated
footing.
