1.0 INTRODUCTION
M/s Marc Surveying System is being awarded the Construction of 6 lane flyovers at
Boragaon, Gorchuk, Lokhra & Basistha Junction along with six laning of approaches
from section Ch. Km 146+172 to Km 162+620 on Guwahati Bypass (NH-37) in the state
of Assam under Bharatmala Pariyojna on EPC Basis..
A detailed geotechnical exploration at different locations along the proposed alignment

was planned for comprehensive study and to confirm the subsoil conditions and to
establish the various soil parameters and its behavior, to assess the general stability of
site proposed for bridge to enable an adequate and economic design, to determine the
changes that may arise in ground and environmental conditions and to plan the best
method of construction etc.
2.0 GEOLOGY OF THE AREA
The diversified geological conditions, topographical characteristics, climatic situations and

vegetation types have favour the formation of different types of soil in the state. The soils
of Assam can broadly be divided into four main groups, viz. alluvial soils, piedmont soils,
hill soils and lateritic soils.
The alluvial soils are extensively distributed over the Brahmaputra and Barak plain and
are very fertile. The alluvial soils can further be divided into two main sub types-young
alluvial and old alluvial soils. The young alluvial soils is characterized by modern alluvium
deposits. The colour of these soils is generally gray to molted gray. On the other hand, the
old alluvial soils occurs in some patches of Kokrajgar, Barpeta, Nalbari, Kamrup, darrang,
Sonitpur, Lakhimpuir and Dhemaji district. Generally, the old alluvial soils are very deep
with fine loams to coarce loams in texture. The piedmont soils are confined to the northern
narrow zone along the piedmont zone of the Himalayan foothills. The soils are very deep
and fine to coarse loamy in texture. The hill soils are generally found in the southern hill
regions of the state. These soils are deep, dark grayish brown in colour and fine to coarse
loamy in texture. The lateritic soils are extensively occurring in N.C. Hills district and in
some parts of the southern Karbi Plateau. These soils are dark and finely textured with
heavy loams.

4.0 SITE EXPLORATION:
4.1 The required equipment and team were mobilized to the site for carrying out the
required field work. The locations for bore holes and depths adopted were given by
the engineer-in-charge. All the boreholes and tests on samples collected were
carried out in the presence of the representative of site-in-charge. Borehole
location plan are enclosed.
4.2 All the boreholes of 150 mm diameter in soil strata were bored using shell and
auger method. Casing was used as per requirement to retain the boreholes.
The details of the various bores/ tests conducted at site are given as below-

3
Basis.
4.3 The standard penetration tests were conducted at 1.5 m intervals up to the depth
of exploration.
For conducting SPT, IS Code: 2131-1981 was followed. After reaching the required
depth of test, the bottom of the bore hole was cleaned properly and spoon is
properly and centrally seated in position in the borehole. 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. and the number of blows required for each 15 cm.
penetration were recorded. The number of blows for the first 15 cm. penetration
was considered as seating drive. The number of blows for last 30 cm penetration
was designated as SPT ‘N’ value. SPT soil samples obtained from standard split
spoon sampler for all the above standard penetration tests were collected in
polythene bags, sealed, labeled and sent to the laboratory for testing.
4.4 The undisturbed soil samples were collected in good quality thin walled seamless
tubes, dia. of 100 mm and length of 450 mm with area ratio less than 15%. The
UDS tubes are gently pushed in soil using hydraulic push rig/gently hammering
action. After retrieval of UDS tube from the borehole, ends of the tube with sample
were sealed with freshly molten wax of minimum 20mm thick, properly labeled,
marked an arrow showing upward direction and dispatched to laboratory for
testing. At site sample tubes were covered with wet gunny bags.
4.5 On encountering the water table, its depth was recorded everyday in each
borehole prior to resumption of day’s work. The observation of depth of water table
was continued for next seven days in the completed boreholes. When it was fully
stabilized, the depth was recorded as depth of water table.
4.6 Ground water samples were collected from bore holes in an airtight clean bottle,
properly labeled, sealed and sent to the laboratory of its chemical analysis test.
Before collecting ground water sample, it was ensured that no external water was
added before collection of sample.
4.7 Soil sample ware collected from bore holes as per approved schedule and
chemical test were conducted on it in the laboratory.
5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
5.1 Grain Size Analysis
For this purpose an oven dry pulverized soil sample is sieved through the set of
sieves 20mm, 10mm, 4.75mm, 2.0m, 1.0m, 600micron, 300micron, 150micron and
75micron. The amounts of soil retained on each sieve are noted down. The %
retained, cumulative % retained and % passing are computed by these retained
weights.

4
Basis.
If the % passing 75 micron sieve is appreciable, Hydrometer method is used to find

the % fraction of particle sizes from 75micron to 2micron.
5.2 Liquid Limit
For liquid limit Casagrande apparatus is used. For this test air dry soil sample
passing 425micron is taken and mixed with distilled water to give a stiff and
homogeneous paste and is left for sufficient time for maturing in an air light
container.
A portion of the above paste is kept in the cup of Casagrande apparatus, a groove
is cut with groove cutting tool and blows are imported by turning the handle at the
rate of 2 revolutions per second. The numbers of blows are counted till the
continuous contact of the bottom of the groove occurs.
Few quantity of soil from the close portion of the groove after the contact occurs,
are taken and its water content is determined by over drying method.
The liquid limit (WL) is computed by the equation.
Wl=Wn(n/25)e
Where Wn=water content (% corresponding to n blows)

e = 0.092 for soils with WL<50
= 0.12 for soils with WL>50
5.3 Plastic Limit
For this test sample is prepared in the same way as for liquid limit test. A ball is
formed of sub sample weighting about 5 gm. This ball is rolled between the fingers
of one hand and the glass plate with pressure sufficient to reduce the mass into a
thread of about 3 mm in 5 to 10 complete forward and back movements. When a
diameter of 3 mm is reached, soil is again remolded into a ball.
The process of rolling and remolding is repeated until the thread starts just
crumbing at a diameter of 3 mm.
The crumbled thread is immediately transferred to an airtight container for

determination of its moisture content by oven drying method.
This water content is termed as plastic limit. (WP)
5.4 Plasticity Index
The plasticity index Ip is given by

Ip=WL-WP

5
Basis.
5.5 Water Content
For this test the soil sample of known quantity (Wm) is taken in a container. The
container with this soil sample is placed in an oven for drying at 105-110ºc for 16-
24 hours. After drying the dry sample is again weighed to determine the dry weight
of sample (Wd)
The moisture content is computed by the following equation:
Wn=(Wm-Wd)/Wd
5.6 Dry Density & Bulk Density
For determination of bulk density, a sample of known volume ‘V’ is extracted from
the undisturbed sample. Its bulk weight ‘W’ and moisture content ‘Wn’ is
determined by oven drying method.
The bulk density is determined by following equation

γb=W/V
and dry density by
γd=γb/(1+Wn)
5.7 Specific Gravity
The specific gravity of soil sample is determined by density bottle method. For this
test 5-10g (w2) sample of oven dry, cool soil is taken in 50ml capacity density bottle
and its weight is noted down. The soil is covered with distilled water and left for
sufficient period for suitable soaking. The entrapped air is removed by vacuum.
The soil in bottle is filled full with water and it is noted down as w3. The mass of
empty bottle (w1) and bottle with full distilled water also noted (w4).
The specific gravity is found by the following equation.

G=w2-w1/[(w2-w1)-(w3-w4)]
5.8 Direct Shear Test
For this test shear box test apparatus is used. The prepared specimen from
remolded/undisturbed sample is placed carefully in the box. The plain grid is kept
on top of the specimen with its serrations at right angles to the direction of shear.
The upper porous stone is placed on the grid and loading pad on the stone. The
box with specimen is gently placed in the container (water jacket). The specimen is
submerged with water. The container is mounted with the shear box and the
specimen inside, on the shearing machine. The upper part of the box is so
adjusted that it touches the proving ring. The jack is brought forward to bear up
against the box container. The proving ring dial gauge is set to read zero.
The steel ball is placed in the recess of the loading pad. The loading yoke is set in
contact with the steel ball on the loading pad. Vertical displacement dial gauge to

Basis.
read zero in contact with the top of the yoke. The normal load is applied and any
change in thickness of specimen is recorded. Shear displacement dial gauge is
also set to read zero. The locking screw is now removed and two parts of the shear
box are separated by advancing the spacing screws.
The specimen is sheared at constant rate of strain. The readings of the proving
ring dial gauge are noted down every 15 seconds for the first one-minute and then
every 30 seconds thereafter. The reading of change in the thickness dial gauge
and shear displacement dial gauge are also recorded at the same time interval.
The test is continued until the specimen fails. The specimen is assumed to fail
when the proving ring dial gauge starts receding or at shear displacement of
approximately 15% of the length takes place.
The soil is removed from the box and test is repeated on the identical specimen
under increased normal load.
For consolidated undrained test the specimen is prepared and set in the apparatus
as above and after submergence, the specimen is allowed to consolidate fully
under normal loads. The specimen is then sheared as in undrained test. At the end
of the test, the specimen is removed and its final water content is determined. The
test is repeated on other identical specimen in similar way under increasing normal
loads.
For drained test, after completion of consolidation under a particular normal load,
specimen is sheared at a slow rate to allow the pore water inside the specimen
drain out. Final water content of failed specimen is determined. The test is
repeated on other identical specimen after consolidation under increasing normal
loads.
5.9 Triaxial Shear Test
For this test Triaxial Shear Test apparatus with pore pressure measurement
apparatus is used. The porous disc or plain disc, depending on the test conditions
is placed on the pedestal of the triaxial cell. The specimen is placed centrally on
the disc. A correct size membrane is fitted inside the stretcher with ends of
membrane folded over those of the stretcher. Vacuum is applied to stretch the
membrane to the inside surface of the stretcher is carefully slipped around the
specimen kept on the pedestal. The vacuum on the membrane is released. Its
bottom part is rolled down into the pedestal. Depending on the type of test porous
or plain disc is placed on the top of the specimen and then pressure pad is placed.
The top part of membrane is rolled on to the pressure pad. Now the stretcher is
removed and ends are sealed with ‘O’ rings.
With the properly sealed specimen placed centrally on the pedestal, the cell is
assembled, keeping the loading piston initially clear of the pressure pad of the
specimen. The assembly is placed in the loading frame.

7
Basis.
For unconsolidated undrained test, the bottom drainage value (BDV) and top
drainage value (TDV) of cell, is closed and air release valve (ARV) is opened. The
cell is filled with water through the cell water value CWV. ARV is closed when
water begins to escape through it. The cell pressure is raised to the desired value
and kept constant till the end of the test.
If initially unsaturated specimen is to be saturated before the test, the specimen is

mounted in the cell with porous disc. The specimen is saturated by back pressure
saturation method.
When the cell pressure is applied, the load piston rises upward, the loading
machine is operated at the anticipated rate to bring the load piston slightly above
the pressured pad of the specimen and the load measuring dial gauge on proving
ring is set to zero.
The piston is brought just in contact with pressure pad by hand operation of the
machine. The axial compression dial gauge is mounted and set to read zero.
The axial loading is started at constant rate of strain. Simultaneous readings on the
load and compression dial gauges are noted down. The test is continued until a
recession of the axial load is observed.
After failure, the specimen is unloaded by reversing the loading machine, cell
pressure is reduced and cell water is drained out after opening the ARV. The cell is
dismantled and the specimen is taken out rubber membrane is removed and
weight of the failed sample and its water content is determined.
The test is repeated on two more identical specimens with increasing cell pressure.
For consolidated undrained test, first the specimen is saturated by back pressure
saturation. The saturated specimen is then consolidated fully under a cell pressure.
After consolidation is complete, the axial load is applied and the test is conducted
as for undrained test. The pore pressure developed during the undrained test
portion is measured by the pore pressure measuring system. After the completion
of test, pore pressure apparatus and mercury control system is disconnected, cell
is dismantled and sample is taken outside to determine its weight and final water
content. The test is repeated on three identical specimens using increasing cell
pressure for consolidation.
For consolidated drained test, the specimen is first allowed to consolidate under a
confining pressure as in consolidated undrained test. Then sample is failed under
drained condition. After consolidation is complete, the axial load is applied and the
test is conducted as for undrained test. The pore pressure developed during the
undrained test portion is measured by the pore pressure apparatus. After
completion of test the pore pressure apparatus. After completion of test the pore
pressure apparatus and mercury control system is disconnected, cell is dismantled
and sample is taken outside to determine its weight and final water content. The
test is repeated on three identical specimens using increasing cell pressure for
consolidation.

content and sulphate content are within permissible limits and Ordinary Portland
Cement or Portland Slag Cement or Portland Pozzolana Cement can be used for
RCC work. The minimum cement content and maximum free water-cement ratio

8.0 PROPOSED DEPTH & TYPE OF FOUNDATIONS

Depending upon the visual examination of soil & field strata, field and laboratory test results and the type of
structures proposed at this site, the safe bearing capacity of sub-soil strata for proposed bridge (Raft footing/open
foundation) have been analyzed. Scour is considered negligible for the purpose of analysis. The details of the
proposed foundations are presented in the following paragraph:
The top strata (up to 4.50 m depth) of soil at this site are Fine Sand, which are very much prone to liquefaction
during earthquake. Detailed Liquefaction analysis is attached to this report. So open foundation at this site are not
recommended. However Safe Bearing Capacity for open foundation has been provided if liquefaction is ignored.
Raft footing of widths 6.0 m & open foundation of 3.0 m cast at 2.0, 3.0 & 4.0 m depth below natural ground surface,
if proper ground protection considered to stop scouring near the foundation.
To support the structural loads of superstructure, we recommend the use of pile foundations as the top
strata is liquefiable. We recommend the use of 1000 and 1200 mm diameter piles.
8.1 COMPUTATION OF SAFE /ALLOWABLE BEARING CAPACITY:

Shear and settlement failure criteria as per IS: 6403- 1981, IS: 8009 (part-1)-1976 and IS: 1904-1986
have been considered to compute the safe / allowable bearing capacity of underlying soil strata for
Proposed Bridge.
The safe/allowable bearing capacity from both criteria is given as follows: -
8.2 SHEAR FAILURE CRITERION:

The net safe bearing capacity of sub-soil strata has been computed by considering average of
general and local shear failure using the following equation for calculating the net ultimate bearing
capacity.
Qnu = 2/3 C N‘c Sc dc ic+q (Nq’–1) Sqdqiq+1/2 γ BNγ’Sγdγ iγ × W’
The following lowest soil parameters at foundation depth level are selected from bore hole for
calculations:
C=0.00 T/m2 Ø=30 ˚
Average Shear Parameters are computed by the following equation by iteration:
Cav=(C1h1+C2h2+--------+Cnhn)/h
tan Ø av=(h1 tan Ø1+h2 tan Ø2+----------+hn tan Øn)/h

where, h =0.5×B×tan (45+ Øav/2) below foundation level
and Ci, Øi, hi-cohesion, angle of friction and thickness of ith layer below foundation level and upto
thickness h respectively.
Shape factors have been taken as follows: -

8.3 SETTLEMENT FAILURE CRITERION:

The settlement of sandy layers below the foundation level and up to the zone of Influence are computed by
using the chart of settlement vs SPT ‘N’ given on page 17 of IS 8009, part-I.
For Raft footings, the zone of influence below the foundation depth is considered equal to 2.0B, where B is
the width of foundation. The total permissible settlements have been considered as 25, 50 & 75 mm.
The soil parameters have been adopted from the following table no. 4.

9.3 Since the soils are liquefiable to 4.50 m depth, open foundations are not recommended. However, if
liquefaction is ignored, open foundations may be provided. On the basis of field and laboratory test results, and
analysis in clause 7.0, the lower values of net safe bearing capacity obtained from shear failure criterion and net
allowable pressure intensity obtained from settlement failure criterion can be adopted for design purposes. The
recommended value of net safe bearing capacities/net allowable pressure intensities for design purposes, are
given in the following table no. 6:-

ii. Refer to Sample Calculations for Safe Bearing Capacity attached in Annexure -1 of this report
iii. * Denotes that the allowable pressure specified is governed by shear criteria.
9.4 Since soils to top 4.50 m depth are liquefiable in the event of earthquake, piles may be provided to support the
structural loads. We recommend the use of 1000 mm and 1200 mm diameter bored cast-in-situ piles to support
the structural loads. The cut-off-level of the pile is assumed as 2.0 m below the existing ground level

Note: -
i. The above values include a safety factor of 2.5.
ii. The pile capacities should be confirmed by conducting sufficient number of initial pile load tests.
iii. Since the topsoil is liquefiable to 4.50 m depth, the horizontal capacities are calculated at liquefaction level of 4.50 m and deflection at
cut-off-level may be extrapolated accordingly.
9.5 The ground water table was encountered at 2.90~3.40 m below existing ground level in the boreholes during
boring activities at site. The measured ground water table may fluctuate due to variation in climatic conditions
and in rate of surface evaporation. For design purposes the ground water table can be considered at ground
surface.

Basis.
9.6 Layer wise properties of the encountered subsoil strata may be adopted from soil profile given in clause 6.0.
9.7 As the water table exists at 2.90~3.40 m; water table may not be encountered during excavation for shallow
foundations. So dewatering need to be done.
9.8 The chemical analysis tests on ground water sample indicate that chloride content, sulphate content and pH
value are within permissible limits and the ground water is fit for construction purposes, refer to the Test Results
attached in Annexure -1 of this report.
9.9 The chemical analysis tests on subsoil sample indicates that the Ordinary Portland Cement or Portland Slag
Cement or Portland Pozzolana Cement can be used for RCC work. The minimum cement content and
maximum free water-cement ratio shall be maintained as per IS: 456, 2000. refer to the Test Results attached in
Annexure -1 of this report.
9.10 The slope of the excavated pit may be kept upto 1 vertical on 0.50-1.00 horizontal during excavation. However,
if space is constraint, then suitably designed bracing and strutting system should be adopted.
9.11 As per IS 1893:2002, the site falls under earthquake Zone-V. In the topsoil layers are mostly Fine Sand is met
which is very much prone to liquefaction. So, in our opinion liquefaction may likely to take place during
earthquake. Open foundation is not recommended.
9.12 The above recommendations have been made on the basis of in situ tests and laboratory tests conducted on
the samples collected from limited number of bore holes bored at the locations given by the client. If during
construction, any unusual or abnormal features are noticed, these may be brought to the attention of
Geotechnical Consultants for further suggestions.

SAMPLE CALCULATION FOR PILE

NORMAL BORED CAST IN SITU PILES
The load carrying capacities of bored piles have been calculated using following
expression: -
n
Qu= Ap (½ γ D Nγ + PD Nq ) + ∑ (Asi Ki Pdi tanδ)
Where, Ap = Cross sectional area of pile toe.

D = Stem diameter.
Nq, Nγ = Bearing Capacity factors.
γ = Effective unit weight of soil at pile toe.
PD = Effective overburden pressure at pile toe
Asi = Surface area of pile stem for ith layer.
Ki = Coefficient of earth pressure.
Pdi = Effective overburden pressure at center of the ith layer
δ= Angle of wall friction between soil & pile.
Soil Parameter adopted:
From (m) To (m) Density γ’ C Ø k α

10.50 40.00 1.99 1.90 0 1.00 0.28
For pile dia= 120 cm, cut off level below EGL = 1.5 m and length of pile=30.0 m
PD =1.728 kg/cm2, Nc=9.0, Nq = 0.00, Nγ= 0.00, F.O.S. = 2.5 in comp.
Applying above parameters in above equation, we get

Qu = Qp + Qf = 193.40+ 534.12 T and Qa, comp. = 727.52/2.5 = 291.01 T
Qa, comp. = 206.18 T (excluding pile weight)
For Uplift
As the soil is weak in tension, so as per IRC: 78, 70 percent of the above parameters
(as taken in compression loads) may be used for calculating the pile capacities.
PD = 1.728 kg/cm2, Qf=373.88 T, F.O.S. = 2.5 in uplift.
Qa, uplift=373.88 /2.5=149.55 T
Qa, uplift= 234.38 T (including pile weight)
Page 24 of 25
For Lateral
The following equation may be used to calculate the lateral capacity of pile:
12 y E I
Q=
( L1 + Lf ) 3
Where:
Q = lateral load.
E = Young’s modulus of pile material.
I = moment of inertia of pile cross section.
Lf = depth of fixity
L1 = length of pile section below cut-off-level that may not contribute
Significantly to lateral resistance (in loose/weak soils)
y = horizontal deflection
T= (EI/K1)1/5 for Granular Soils R= (EI/K2)1/4 for Cohesive Soils
Piles are 1.5 m depth below COL, L1=1.5 m=120 cm, Fixed Head Condition
For M=35,
Moment of Inertia, I: 1.018E+07 cm4
Constant K2 = 48.8 R = 498.39 cm
L1/T= 0.00 Lf/R=2.19 Lf= 1091.5 cm
L1 + Lf = 1091.5 cm
Permissible deflection, y=12 mm
Computed Lateral Capacity of Pile, Q = 33.30 Tones
