Introduction:-
Gujarat State Police Housing Corporation Limited, Rajkot, proposes Soil Investigation work for
Construction of C-80 at PHQ Rajkot City.
The Job was carried out under work order No: PHC/TECH/E.E./149/2019 0n dated 23.01.2019
under the guidance and supervision of the soil personnel of Shreeji Material Testing Laboratory,
Bhavnagar and client's engineer.
The object of the sub soil/rock exploration was (i) To determine .the probable sub surface
conditions such as stratification, denseness or hardness of the strata, position of ground water
table etc., and, (ii) To give probable range of safe bearing capacity for the structure. To
Accomplish these purposes; the study was conducted in the following phases:
(1) Drilling boreholes in order to determine site stratification and to collect disturb, undisturbed
soil samples and rock core samples for laboratory testing
(2)Testing selected soil/rock samples in the laboratory to determine physical and engineering
Properties of the soil/rock.
(3)Analyzing all field and laboratory data in order to develop engineering recommendations for
foundation design and construction.
The exploratory boreholes were drilled by hydraulic feed rotary drilling. Drilling was carried out
using calyx type drilling machine fitted with TC section bits and surface set diamond bits. The
locations of boreholes were dictated by client. The depth of the test bore at the proposed location
is as under:

The trial pit was excavated and the stratifications were observed and the undisturbed soil samples were taken from
the bottom of the pit.

2.1.1 Disturbed Samples
Disturbed representative samples were collected, logged, labeled and placed in polythene bag &
send at Laboratory for testing.
Undisturbed soil samples are collected in 100 mm diameter thin walled sampler (Shelby tube)
from the boreholes. The sampler used for the sampling had smooth surface and appropriate area
ratio and cutting edge angle thereby minimizing disturbance of soil during sampling.
Ground Water table was encountered at 15.0 mt depths in the boreholes up to termination depth
(30 mt) below EGL at time investigated during the sub surface investigation carried out in the
month of (January-2019)
Sampler is coupled together with a sampler head to form a sampling assembly the sampler head
provide a non-flexible connection between the sampling tube and the drill rods. Vent holes are
provided in the sampler head to allow escape of water from the top of sampler tube during
penetration. The sampling tubes are made free from dust and rust. Coating of oil is applied on
both sides to obtain the undisturbed samples in best possible manner.
The sampler is then lowered inside the bore hole on a string of rods and driven to a
predetermined level. On completion of driving the sampler is first rotated within the borehole to
shear the soil sample at bottom and then pulled out. Upon removal of the sampling tubes, the
length of sample in the tube is recorded. The disturbed material in the upper end of the tube, if
any, is completely removed before sealing.
The soil at the lower end of the tube is trimmed to a distance of about 10 to 20 mm. After
cleaning and inserting an impervious disc at each end, both ends are sealed. The empty space in
the sampler, if any, is filled with the moist soil, and the ends covered with tight wrapper. The
identification mark is then made on each sample.
When rock was encountered a double tube core barrel and Nx sized Tc/Diamond bits are used
for drilling and recovering rock cores. Recovered rock cores were numbered serially and
preserved in wooden core boxes. Rock core recovery and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) were
computed for every run length drilled. Detailed core logs of boreholes were prepared by
geologist at site

Rock classification in terms of weathering and state of fractures and strength is carried out in the
following manner. Tabulations given in below explain it briefly.
Rock quality is further measured by frequency of natural joints in rock mass. Rock equality
Designation (RQD) is used to define state of fractures or massiveness of rock. Following table
defines the quality of rock mass.

2.1.6 List of IS Codes Followed
The Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) (lS-2131, 1981) was carried out in the bore hole at
predetermined depths. It gives indirect evaluation of strength-deformation characteristics of the
sub soil. The test includes driving a split spoon sampler using a 63.5 kg hammer with a free fall
of 750mm. The first 15cm is considered as seating drive. The no. of blows required to penetrate
next 30 cm is reported as N-value. Empirical relations are established to correlate N-value with
the shear parameters or bearing capacity of soil. A disturbed soil sample is collected inside the
split spoon sampler which can be used to find soil classification and In-situ water Content.
If the no. of blows exceeds 50 before desired penetration is achieved, it is reported as N- value
>50 with the actual penetration achieved. Corrections to SPT N-value are applied for Cohesion
less soil as given below:
1. Due to Overburden- The N Value for Cohesion less Soil Shall be corrected for
Overburden as

2.0 LABORATORY TEST
The laboratory tests on soil/rock samples were started immediately after the receipt of the same
in the laboratory. Following laboratory tests are carried out to determine the physical and
engineering properties of undisturbed, disturbed soil samples and rock core samples.
1. Dry Density and Natural Moisture Content (IS - 2720, Part - II)
2. Particle Size Analysis (IS - 2720, Part - IV, 1985)
3. Waterberg’s Limit (IS -2720, Paft-V,1985)
4. Specific Gravity (IS -2720 Part- 3, Section-2, '1980)
5. Shear Test (IS -2720 Part -XI 1986)
6. Water Absorption Test on Rock (lS-1330, 1991)
7. Density of Rock (IS-1330, 1991)
8. Unconfined Compressive Strength (IS-9143, 1979)
All laboratory tests are carried out as per the respective Indian Standards.

3.1 Unconfined Compressive Strength of Rock
The specimen was kept between two bearing plates wiped clean. The axis was aligned with the
Centre of the thrust of the cylindrical seat. A load was applied at a constant rate. The maximum
load was recorded with accuracy causing the failure.

CLASIFICATION BASED ON RMR VALUE
Calculation for safe bearing capacity (SBC) is carried out considering RMR parameters of the sub strata.
Values of SBC are mentioned below.
Table 2 : As per IS 12070, Table 3 Net Safe Bearing Pressures Based on RMR
Amendment 01 - 2008
Page | 13
4.0 SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS FOR RMR VALUE
Based on the field and laboratory test data allowable bearing capacity is derived for
open Footing. The typical calculation of safe bearing capacity is as follows:
RMR 35
Page | 14
RECOMMENDATION
1. For BH-1 RMR value as obtained is 35 as per IS 12070, the net safe bearing pressure is
evaluated as 135-48 T/m2 without exceeding total settlement of 12mm. However it is
suggested to consider the SBC value as 50 T/m2 at a depth of 4.0m or deep below
existing ground level.
2. The foundation base should be taken to a level such that minimum 80 percent rock area is
available. It must be ensured that the foundation does not overhang at any corner.
3. Foundation base shall be treated with cement slurry and shall be leveled.
4. If after excavation, loose pockets of talus ‘deposit is found out at a any places, the same
should be cleaned and backfilled with lean concrete.
6. The excavated soil can be used in the foundation trenches in plinth of the structure and in
sub base of pavements.
