 REPORT ON SOIL INVESTIGATION WORK FOR CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE AT KM 127+648.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
1. INTRODUCTION:
1.1 This report presented herein deals with the field and laboratory investigations carried out by us to access
the nature of sub-strata and to evaluate the soil parameters required for design of foundations proposed to be
constructed for proposed bridge.
1.2 Client’s help is gratefully acknowledged in providing bore hole locations, close supervision and
checking during boring, sampling, various testing operations and cooperation and guidance during
finalization of report.
1.3 The work of Geotechnical Investigation was awarded to RELIANT FOUNDATIONS PVT LTD, H-7,
BYE LANE NO.1 (A.NORTH), PANJABARI ROAD, SIXMILE, GUWAHATI-22 for the project
construction of bridge.
1.4 This report is based upon the results of field , laboratory tests conducted on selected soil/rock samples
collected from bore hole up to the depth of 30.0 M each and interpretation of results were done as per IRC
78-2000 and pertinent IS code of practices.
most destructive earthquakes in human history. The mountainous tracts of the region are inhabited by people
of diverse ethnic groups and cultural affinities lured by the pioneering spirit of man in quest of the unknown,
be it geographical or geological. The earliest reference of the region is found in the Mahabharata and
documentation of the geological information was made mostly by the British military expeditions during the
early part of the nineteenth century prior to establishment of the GSI in 1851. This excludes the meticulous
records of the earthquakes which are available since the middle of the last century.

2. SCOPE OF WORK:
The scope of work provided to us for this project was limited to the following:-
3.1 Mobilizing necessary plant, equipments and personnel to the project site, setting up the equipment,
carrying out the field investigations on land and demobilization on completion of work.
3.2 Making 150 mm nominal diameter bore holes at the site in all types of soil using suitable approved
method of boring to be given at site by the Engineer-in-Charge. Refusal shall mean when SPT field ‘N’ value
reaches 100 for 30 cm or less penetration of SPT sampler.
3.2.1 Conducting standard penetration tests in the bore holes at 1.50 m interval in depth as per
specifications / instructions of Engineer-in-Charge.
3.2.2 Collecting undisturbed soil samples from bore holes at 3.0m interval or every change of strata,
whichever is earlier as per specifications.
3.2.3 Collecting disturbed soil samples from bore hole at regular interval and at every identifiable change
of strata to supplement the boring records.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
3.2.4 Recording the depth of ground water table in all the bore hole if observed up to the depth of
exploration during boring work as per specifications & withdrawing the casing pipe.
3.3 Conducting the following laboratory tests on selected disturbed / undisturbed soil samples collected
from bore hole / test locations :-
(a) Bulk density and Moisture content
(b) Sieve analysis
(c) Hydrometer analysis
(d) Liquid limit & Plastic limits
(e) Specific gravity
(f) Shear test on undisturbed and remoulded saturated disturbed soil samples
(g) Determination of void ratio.
3.4 Preparation and submission of report in three copies.

4.0 FIELD INVESTIGATIONS:

4.1 Necessary plant, equipment and personnel for conducting the requisite field work were mobilized to the
site.
4.2 Three numbers boreholes were first marked on the ground surface as per the layout given to us by the
Engineer-in-Charge.
4.3 Bore hole was bored at this site using rotary drilling method as per IS: 1892-1979.

4.3.1 Standard penetration tests were conducted in the above bore hole at every 1.50 m interval & at
change of strata as per specifications / instructions of Engineer-in-Charge. The bore was cleaned up to the
desired depths. Standard split spoon sampler attached to lower end of ‘A’ drill rods was driven in the bore
holes by means of standard hammer of 63.5 Kg. falling freely from a height of 75 cm. The sampler was
driven 45 cm as per specifications & the numbers of blows required for each 15 cm penetration were
recorded. The numbers of blows for the first 15 cm penetration were not taken into account. This was
considered as seating drive. The numbers of blows for next 30 cm penetration were designated as SPT ‘N’
value. Wherever the total penetration was less than 45 cm, the number of blows & the depth penetrated is
incorporated in respective bore logs. Disturbed soil samples obtained from standard split spoon sampler for
all the above standard penetration tests were collected in polythene bags of suitable size. These samples were
properly sealed, labeled, recorded and carefully transported to the laboratory for testing.
4.3.2 Undisturbed soil samples were collected from the bore hole at every 3.00 m interval in depth & at
change of strata as per sampling specifications. These sampling tubes after retrieval from the bore hole was
properly waxed and sealed at both ends. These were carefully labeled and transported to the laboratory for
testing. Undisturbed soil samples wherever slipped during lifting, were duly marked in the field bore logs as
well as in the soil profile.

4.3.3 Disturbed soil samples were also collected from the bore hole at suitable depths/intervals to
supplement the boring records. These samples were collected in polythene bags of suitable size. These
samples were properly sealed, labeled, recorded & carefully transported to the laboratory for testing.
4.3.4 The depth of ground water table was checked / measured in all bore holes.

5.0 LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS:
5.1 The following laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples recovered
From bore hole / test locations: -
(a) Bulk density and Moisture content
(b) Sieve analysis
(c) Hydrometer analysis
(d) Liquid limit & Plastic limits
(e) Specific gravity
(f) Shear test on remolded and saturated disturbed soil samples
(g) Determination of void ratio.
All the above laboratory tests were carried out as per relevant Indian Standards. All the soil samples were
identified and classified as per IS: 1498-1970.
6.0 FINDING OF GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION:
The study of bore logs/results of laboratory and other field tests are tabulated through different tables as
annexure.
7.0 Calculation of scour depth

7.1 Mehods for calculation of mean depth of scour ( cl : 703.2 IRC 78-2014)
The mean scour depth below Highest Flood Level (HFL) for natural channels flowing over
scourable bed can be calculated theoretically from the following equation:
d m = 1.34 ( Db2/ Ksf)1/3
Where Db = The design discharge for foundation per metre width of effective waterway.
K sf = Silt factor for a representative sample of bed material obtained upto the level of anticipated deepest
scour.
The value of D b may be determined by dividing the design discharge for foundation by lower of theoretical
and actual effective linear waterway as given in IRC:5.703.2.2
Ksf ' is given by the expression 1.76 √dm
dm being the weighted mean diameter in millimetre.
The value of Ksf for various grades of sandy bed are given below for ready reference and adoption: cl
703.2.2.1: IRC 78-2014

Page
 REPORT ON SOIL INVESTIGATION WORK FOR CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE AT KM 127+648.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Type of bed material dm (mm) Ksf

Coarse silt 0.04 0.35

Silt/fine sand 0.081 to 0.158 0.5 to 0.7

Medium sand 0.223 to 0.505 0.85 to 1.25

Coarse sand 0.725 1.5

Fine bajri and sand 0.988 1.75

Heavy sand 1.29 to 2.00 2.0 to 2.42

As per cl no : 703.2.2.2 No rational formula or data for determining scour depth for bed material consisting
of gravels and boulders (normally having weighted diameter more than 2.00 mm) and clayey bed is available.
In absence of any data on scour for such material, the mean scour depth may be calculated following the
guidelines given in Appendix-1.

Guidelines for calculating silt factor for bed material consisting of clay

In absence of any formula 'Ksf may be determined as per Clause 703.2.2 and may be adopted based on site
information and behaviour history of any existing structure. The clayey bed having weighted diameter
normally less than 0.04mm offers more resistance scour than sand though mean depth of scour as per the
formula given in Clause 703.2 indicates more scour. In absence of any accepted rational formula or any data
of scour at the site of the proposed bridge; the following theoretical calculation may be adopted:

i) In case of soil having φ <15° and c (cohesion of soil) > 0.2 kg/cm2

'K sf calculated as follows:

K sf = F(1 + √c ) where c in kg/cm2

Where, F = 1.50 for φ > 10° and < 15°

= 1.75 for φ >5° and < 10°

= 2.00 for φ < 5°

ii) Soils having φ >15° will be treated as sandy soil even if c is more than 0.2 kg/cm2 and silt factor will be
as per provisions of Clause 703.2.2.

8.0 Design of Pile foundation ( Uniform dia Pile )

Ultimate bearing capacity in compression in sand, QU from IS: 2911(Part-I)-1981
Qu = QP + Qf
= End bearing resistance + Frictional resistance of pile in sand and clay.
Qu = Ap (1/2 D γ Nγ + PD Nq) + ( Ca As +  K PDi tan  ASi )
QP = Ap (1/2 D γ Nγ + PD Nq)
Qfs =  K PDi tan  ASi
Qfc =  Ca As
Qsafe = QU/FOS = QU/2.5
where
Ap = Cross sectional area of pile toe in cm2..
As (cm 2) = surface area of the stem
Nγ, Nq = bearing capacity factors depending upon the angle of internal friction
K = earth pressure coefficient (usually taken as 1.5 for sandy soils)
 = Angle of wall friction between pile and soil.
As = Circumferential area of pile stem = x l x d
l = Length of embedment .
d = Diameter of the pile.
Pile load capacity in uplift
Ultimate uplift capacity Q Uf = Skin friction in sand + Skin friction in clay.
= Qfs + Qfc
