2. SCOPE OF WORK
2.1 This geotechnical investigation has been carried out to ascertain the safe bearing
capacity and to decide upon suitable foundation system for the proposed structure. It
was instructed to make one number of bore hole. The BH -1 and BH-2 was driven upto
10.0m depth and terminated after encountering very dense condition of soil.
3. FIELD INVESTIGATION
3.1 GENERAL
Mobilizations of equipment, skilled and unskilled labours are arranged at site.
The various factors for the number and position of boreholes and spacing of boreholes
are based on the extent of the site, nature and type of structure. Depth of borehole is
concluded based on condition of soil, penetration capacity of soil, shear failure and hard
strata condition. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is conducted at various depths. The
disturbed soil sample is collected from the site and transported for examination to
Ashhirwaad Analytical Laboratory. The field investigation is being monitored by
experienced civil engineers/ Geotechnical/ Structural Engineer.
3.2 STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (IS: 2131 – 1981)
EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
3.2.1 DRILLING EQUIPMENT

The equipment used shall provide a clean borehole 100 to 150 mm in
diameter, for insertion of the sampler ensure that the penetration test is performed on
undisturbed soil and shall permit driving of the split spoon sampler to obtain
penetration record and sample in accordance with procedure.
4/27
Draft

3.2.2 DRIVE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY
The drive weight assembly shall consist of driving head and a 63.5 kg
weight with 75cm free fall. It is ensured that the energy of the falling weight is not
reduced by friction between the drive weight and the guides. The rods to which the
sampler is attached for driving should be straight, tightly coupled and straight in
alignment. For driving the casting, a hammer heavier than 63.5 kg may be used.
3.2.3 CLEANING THE BOREHOLE

In case wash boring is adopted for cleaning the borehole, side discharge
bits are permissible, but in no case a bottom discharge bit be permitted. In cohesive
soils, the borehole may be cleaned with bailer with a flap valve.
3.2.4 OBTAINING THE SAMPLES

Test shall be made at every change in stratum or at intervals of not more than
1.5 m whichever is less. Tests may be made at lesser or greater intervals if specified or
considered necessary.
The sampler shall be lowered to the bottom of the borehole. The following
information shall be noted and recorded.
(a) Depth of bottom of borehole below ground level.

(b) Penetration of the sampler into the soil under the combined weight of
sampler and rods
(c) Water level in the borehole or casting
(d) Depth of bottom of casting below ground level.
Labels shall be fixed to the jar or notation shall be written on the covers with the
following information:
a) Origin of sample
5/27

b) Job designation
c) Boring number
d) Sample number
e) Depth of sampling
f) Penetration record
g) Length of recovery

for the Proposed Construction Of Residential Building (G+2) at Plot no.63, Kamaraj
Nagar, V.Manaveli, Puducherry-605110.

5.3 DEEP FOUNDATION:
5.3.1 Alternatively, if Deep Foundation system is considered, the recommended type of
foundation system is Pile foundation at 7.5m depth. It is recommended to adopt
“Bored cast in – situ pile foundation” with casing pipe while driving. The casing pipe
has to be removed slowly and carefully after placing the concrete.
5.3.2 The recommended safe pile carrying capacities of different diameters for 7.5m depth
of “pile” are tabulated below.

5.3.3 The Recommended piles has to be terminated at a depth of 7.5m, which needs to be
confirmed by conducting necessary SPT during piling and it should be ensured that
the SPT values at 7.5m depth are greater than/equal to the observed values during
the field investigation made on 02.04.2021 – 03.04.2020.
5.3.4 It is highly recommended to conduct a Pile Load Test to confirm the actual Pile
Carrying Capacity and to perform PI (Pile Integrity Test) on all pile to check the
quality of driven piles. The PI test shall be carried out before performing load test on
pile. The Grade of Pile concrete mix shall be of M30 conforming to IS 456: 2000
(Design Mix).
5.3.5 The Grade of Pile concrete mix shall be of M30 conforming to IS 456: 2000
(Design Mix).
5.4 The Decision of selecting the suitable type of foundation rests with the Structural Engineer
Concerned.
5.5 For the sub structure [RCC] the environmental exposure condition may be considered as
‘Moderate’ and all the precautions as laid by the relevant code of practice for the design of
structures may be adopted.

Draft
5.6 The entire recommendations as above are based on two bore holes executed as per the
Clients directions and at the location as shown by the client’s representative as per terms
of reference. The uniformity or otherwise of the soil delineation and strength profile over
the entire site shall be verified during execution, If there are any variations the same shall
be reported to us for review and further advice.
