1. INTRODUCTION
Geotechnical investigation is carried out for the proposed construction of Bridge at MC-09
for Nagpur Smart City Project. Investigation was intended to evaluate allowable bearing
capacity of available soil/rock stratum and other physical parameters necessary for the
design of suitable foundation. Scope of work included two bores with Standard Penetration
Tests as well as disturbed & undisturbed soil sampling at field with necessary laboratory
testing on available soil /rock samples.
2. INVESTIGATION
Two bores up to 20 m. deep are drilled at locations indicated in the site map. Disturbed &
undisturbed soil samples are collected from the bores. Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)
(IS:2131: 1981) are also conducted in bores at different depths. During field work no water
level was observed up to final depth of investigation i.e. up to 20.0 m. below GL.
In laboratory, soil samples collected from field are tested for, soil classification (IS : 1498) i.e.
grain size analysis (IS:2720 part 4), liquid and plastic limits (IS:2720 part 5), free swell index
(IS:2720 part 40), natural moisture content & density (IS:2720 part 29), shrinkage limit (IS :
2720 part 6), swell pressure (IS : 2720 part 41), direct shear test (IS : 2720 part 13).
Chemical test on soil samples are carried out such as pH value (IS:2720 Part 26), Sulphate
(IS:2720 Part 27), Chlorides (IS:2720 Part 32).
In laboratory, Rock cores recovered during drilling are inspected for geological properties,
core recovery, rock quality designation (RQD) and tested for its physical properties like
Water Absorption, Dry/Wet Density, Specific Gravity, Porosity and Wet Unconfined
Compressive Strength (IS:9143, 9179 & 13030) and Point Load Strength (IS:8764) .

6. TYPE OF FOUNDATION
Bore log indicates that ‘Clayey Soil’ is present maximum up to 9.0 m. (BH1) followed by a
stratum of ‘Residual Soil of Gneiss Rock’. Considering deep clayey soil, open foundations are
not suitable and hence pile foundation may be adopted.
Pile capacity is worked out based on Standard Penetration Test Data due to alternate soft to
very soft bands are found and continuous rock is not present. Depth of fixity is not given &
which is to be confirmed by Structural Consultant. During execution strict supervision is
essential for dimensional checks on diameter. This also should be confirmed by quantity of
concrete pour in. Length of pile may vary depending on the depth of residual soil stratum
encountered at each pile location. Verification of pile design would be necessary by
conducting pile load test. Sample calculation is enclosed in appendix.
7.0 FOUNDATION DESIGN DISCUSSION
The recommendations presented herein have been developed on the basis of previously
described project characteristics and subsurface conditions. If variations in soil conditions
were encountered during construction, project characteristics or locations are changed; it
will be necessary for a re-evaluation of the recommendation of this report to be made after
performing on-site observations and noting the characteristics of any variations.
7.1 General
Since this investigation identified actual subsurface conditions only at the test boring
locations, it was necessary for our Geotechnical Engineers to extrapolate these conditions in
order to characterize the entire project site. Even under the best of circumstances, the
conditions encountered during construction can be expected to vary somewhat from the
test results and may, in the extreme case, differ to the extent that modifications to the
foundation recommendations become necessary.
Therefore, we recommend that STRUCTWEL DESIGNERS CONSULTANTS PVT. LTD be retained

as Geotechnical Consultant throughout the earth-related phases of this project to correlate
actual soil conditions with test boring data, identify variations, conduct additional tests that
may be needed and recommend solutions to earth-related problems that may develop.
7.2 Foundation Concept
Two (2) criteria must be fulfilled in the design of foundation. The load must be less than the
ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation soils to maintain stability, and secondly, the
differential settlement must not exceed a limit that will produce adverse behavior of the
structure. The allowable settlement of footings on granular soils is usually exceeded before
bearing capacity considerations become important. Thus, the allowable bearing capacity of
granular soils is normally controlled by settlement considerations.
In view the purpose of the proposed project and the subsurface condition of the proposed
site we would recommend to lay the foundation of this building onto the hard rock.
7.3 Open Foundation
Based on the existing subsurface conditions, the proposed structures can be supported on
Open Foundation placed on firm natural rock surface. The allowable bearing capacity has
been calculated based on the Soil/rock properties. The Isolated footing or Raft Foundation
can be designed for a recommended safe bearing capacity given in this report.
Under no conditions should foundation be placed on loose or soft materials. If such material
is encountered it should be removed until the rock surface disclosed and the undulated area
shall be filled with plain cement concrete of required strength.
Careful field control will contribute substantially to minimizing the settlements.
8.0 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION DISCUSSION
8.1 Site Preparation
The construction site must be suitably prepared. Prior to the placement of fill material,
clearing and grubbing at the site should be performed. All undesirable materials such as
roots, trash or other foreign materials shall be removed before placement of fill material.
After clearing and grubbing, the exposed sub grade should be proof rolled and inspected to
check for soft spots and loose zones. If any soft spots or loose zones are observed during
proof rolling, they should be compacted in place or excavated to firm soil and replaced with
properly compacted structural fill (Murum).
The exposed sub grade of floor slab should be carefully inspected by probing and
testing as needed. Any organic material still in place, wet, soft or loose soil and other
undesirable materials should be removed.
8.2 Excavation
Foundation excavations should be inspected properly to ensure that all existing

materials of rock surface should be clean and free from any loose soil, soft, wet or
otherwise undesirable materials. The dimensions of the excavation base should be
determined by imagining planes extending outward and downward on a 2 (vertical)

to 1 (horizontal) slope from the base perimeter of the area.
8.3 Trench Excavation and Stability
It may be possible to use open cut excavations for the construction of foundations
and any below ground elements. However, a support or bracing system may be
required to retain the surrounding soils and maintain a near vertical excavation face
where there are adjoining facilities, such as underground utility lines, structures,
roadways, etc.
Where open cut excavation is possible and bracing is unnecessary, the temporary
excavation side slopes must be made no steeper than 1.5 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical),
provided that there are no structures or roadways materials should be expected with
such slope. Some sloughing of loose or weak materials should be expected with such
slopes, although it should be minor. Where constraints will not allow open cut side
slopes, it will be necessary to use a retentions system. All open excavations should
be periodically monitored. If any signs of instability are observed, appropriate safety
and remedial actions should be initiated.
Soils at the bottom of satisfactory excavations should be protected against any

detrimental change in condition (such as disturbance or rain). Surface run-off water
should be drained way from the excavation.
8.4 Construction Dewatering
At the time of construction if groundwater will encountered then it is recommended to

use well point system or any other suitable methods of dewatering like pumping from
the sumps etc shall be adopted for dewatering during construction of the proposed
project. The dewatering should continue till the construction period when needed.
8.5 Site Drainage
Adequate drainage must be provided at the site to minimize any increase in moisture
content of the soils that underlay foundations both during the construction and the
service life of the building. The exterior grade slab should be sloped away from the
structure to prevent pounding of water.
8.6 Fill Placement and Compaction
All structural fill beneath footings, grade beams, and floor slabs should be
compacted to a dry density of at least 95 percent of the modified proctor maximum
dry density (IS 2720: 1983)
For cohesion less free draining soils, 85% relative density as determined by IS 2720 -
1983 (PART – 14) shall be used.
For foundations subjected to static loads greater than 320kPa, vibrating or heavy
machinery and for roads and pavement sub-grade fill shall be compacted to 85%
relative density for cohesion less soils or 95% of the maximum dry density as
determined by 2720: 1983 for cohesive materials.
The compaction should be accomplished by placing the fill in layers and mechanically
compacting each lift to at least the specified dry density. Thickness of each lift
should be not more than 250mm.
If hand-operated compaction equipment is used fill material shall be placed in lifts

not exceeding 150mm in loose depth.

ANNEX - PILE DESIGN – Bore 1

Bore log indicates following stratification. The effect of each stratum on pile capacity is also
indicated. Pile is proposed to be rested in Residual stratum. Pile is design as per IRC : 78 -2014,
clause 9, Method 2. Because in bore 1 from 9.0 m. to 20.0 m. ‘residual soil of Gneiss rock’ is present
The shear strength is obtained considering weak to very weak rock.

1. Geotechnical Capacity of a Single Pile
For piles, IRC:78-2000, Appendix 5,suggests the ultimate capacity of a single pile as follows. The
generalised form is Qu = Re + Raf – where first term referrers to base resistance – while second one is
for shaft resistance.
Qu = Re + Raf = Cub Nc Ab + Cus As …1 For ultimate capacity of pile in rock
Qallow = (Re / 3) + (Raf / 6) …2 For allowable capacity of pile in rock
Where,
Qu = Ultimate capacity of pile
Qallow = Allowable capacity of pile
Re = Ultimate end bearing
Raf = Ultimate side socket shear
D = Diameter of pile = 1.2 m.
2 2
Ab = Cross – sectional area of pile = 1.13 m or 11310 cm
L Length of socket = 6.9 m (limited to six times dia. Of pile = 7.2 m. but for calculation of socket
= friction capacity, the top 0.3 m. depth shall be neglected) Socket Length From 9.0 m. + 7.2 m =
16.2 m.
2 2
As = Surface area of socket ( D x length of socket = 26.0123 m or 260123 cm )
Nc = 9
Cub = Avg. Shear strength below base of pile, for the depth equal to twice the dia/least lateral
dimension of pile, considering weak to very weak strength. ( N value = 100, hence Cub =
0.7 Mpa or 7 Kg/cm2)
Cus = Ultimate shear strength along socket length considering weak to very weak strength (N = 100,
2
hence Cub = 0.7 Mpa or 7 Kg/cm )
2. CAPACITY OF SINGLE PILE
The details are given below –
Qu = Cub Nc Ab + Cus As
Qu = (7 x 9 x 11310) + (7 x 260123)
Qu = 713 + 1821 tons
Qallow = (713 / 3) + (1821 / 6)
Qallow = 238 + 304 tons
Hence , Qallow = 542 tons
3. Pile Details
3.1 Depth of Pile 16.2 m.

3.2 Diameter 1200 mm.
3.3 Bearing Stratum Residual Soil of Gneiss Rock
3.4 Pile Capacity 542 tons.
3.5 This capacity/design is based on soil/rock properties only and does not include structural capacity of pile.
This shall be worked-out separately by the structural designer.
3.6 The depth of fixity and lateral capacity of pile shall be checked considering actual lateral load, point of
action and corresponding bending moment at cut-off level.
3.7 The capacity of pile is determined for single pile. For group of piles if required, as it would be, the capacity
of group shall be worked out depending on number of piles and their arrangement by applying
appropriate group reduction-factor
3.8 Construction practices shall be followed as per IRC:78, Sec.VII and IS:2911 Part 1 Sec-2.
3.9 Initial Pile load tests are recommended for ascertaining the designed capacity of pile(s).
