1.1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents results of geotechnical investigation for “Development of
Railway siding for Shiva cement limited taking-off from Sogra Railway
station under chakradharpur division of South Eastern Railway”. This work
was performed by M/s. NBSP Consultants Pvt. Ltd, Angul which was assigned by
Shiva Cement Limited (a unit of jsw). At the proposed site 02 number of bore hole
was drilled to know the sub-strata and design SBC. Conclusions and recommendation
presented in this report are based on our current knowledge of the proposed location,
subsurface conditions encountered at exploration site and results of laboratory
testing. These conclusions and recommendations should not be extrapolated to other
areas without our prior review.
2.1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of the current geotechnical investigation was to explore and
determine the existing sub-strata conditions such as stratification, denseness or
hardness of the strata, position of ground water table at the location etc. and to
evaluate approximate range of safe bearing capacity for the proposed structure using
empirical formulas provided in the relevant IS codes. The goal of our investigation was
to identify the key geotechnical issues that could potentially impact the proposed
project and to develop geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of
the project.
Our scope of services included the following tasks:
 Field marking of boring locations.
 Drilling of 02 number of bore hole (BR NO-13) up to required depth as instructed
by the engineer in-charge of the concern department.
 Bore holes were drilled below the respective existing ground level in order to know
the sub surface stratification, conducting necessary field tests and collection of
sub-strata samples for laboratory testing.
 Testing of soil samples in the laboratory to determine its physical and engineering
properties and analyzing all field and laboratory data to evaluate bearing capacity
of the sub-strata for given foundation sizes.

 Preparation of this report containing our findings and recommendations including:

a) Brief description of the proposed project;
b) Description of the field exploration and laboratory testing programs.
c) Discussion of the site surface and subsurface conditions.
3. A. FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
By using rotary drilling rigs, the boreholes were progressed up to desired depth.
Rotary method of boring is most widely used method of advancing a boreholes.
This method along with use of drilling mud to stabilize the side of the borehole
is likely to give the least disturbance to soils beneath the base of the borehole
and permit taking near to truly undisturbed samples. Diameter of boreholes
was 150 mm.
02 no of Bore hole was drilling up to required depth as specified. The following
in-situ tests have been conducted:
a. Boring works including Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) as per IS
9640:1980 & IS 2131:1988.
b. Observation of Ground water table (GWT) in the bore holes.
c. Preparation of location map of testing site.
3. B. SUMMARY OF FIELD WORK
a. The table below shows the total no. of boreholes with max explored
depth and concerned water table.

3. C. PROCEDURE
i. Ground Water Table: Determination of the fluctuation of ground water

table is important since it influences the bearing capacity of soil for most
type of structures. The site under investigation is having large undulation.
The depth of water table was measured 24 hours after the completion of
boring works in this site.
ii. Sampling: Representing soil samples were collected from bore holes at
different depth of the soil strata confirming to IS 1892-1979. The samples
were properly sealed in sampling polythenes and labeled for correct
identification for testing. The disturbed soil samples were used for visual
classification of soil of soils as per IS 1498-1970. All possible care has been
taken while collecting the soil samples.
iii.Standard Penetration Test: Standard Penetration Test confirming to IS

2131-1981 were carried out at each 1.5m alternate intervals below ground
level or change of strata. Standard Split Spoon Sampler is used for the SPT
test. The number of blows required to drive the sampler for the 1 st, 2nd and
3rd 45 cm depths were recorded. The total number of blows, required to
drive the split spoon sampler due to free fall of 63.5kg hammer from a
distance of 75cm in the 2nd and 3rd 30 cm depth were together taken as ‘N’
value of SPT.
The Standard Penetration Tests have been conducted approximately at each

1.5mtr interval in the bore logs below ground level onwards and at every
change of stratum, the undisturbed samples has been collected for
necessary further study. Samples have been collected by a 450mm long

sampler from the drill holes at each cohesive stratum below the ground
level.
In case of refusal strata (N>50) hard strata (Laterite Rock), bore hole is
reduced to NX (76mm) for drilling. Laterite rock coring has been carried out
using diamond bits or tungsten carbide (T.C) bits. Bits were attached to
the core barrels of double tube type in rotary core drilling. For diamond
core drilling IS: 6926-1982 was followed. Bore logs showing field data of
each borehole has been attached in this report.
3D. Logging and Sample collection:

During exploration for each borehole log of borings showing details about
the exploration were prepared.
All samples both SPT and undisturbed Samples (UDS) have been identified,
marked with the borehole number and depth for quick identification.
The samples are sealed immediately after the sampling. Then the samples
were preserved in transparent polythene bags and all precaution has been
taken.
Cores recovered from hard strata were arranged in a core box with proper
leveling and identification mark. From the rock strata core recovery {CR% =
(Length of Core /Length of run) x 100} & rock quality designation (RQD) =
(total length of core pieces of more than 100mm /length of run) x 100} were
computed for every drilling run. Summary of CR and RQD in different
boreholes is presented.
4. LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS
The soil samples obtained from the borings are further tested in the testing
laboratory at Angul in accordance with relevant Indian Standard Code of
Practices and the geotechnical properties are obtained for use in arriving at the

safe bearing capacity of the founding strata. The results so obtained have been
brought out in a comprehensive manner according to the codes for use by the
Design Engineer during finalization of foundation of the structure.
In this case the following tests have been conducted in the laboratory at Angul
according to Indian Standards mentioned below:
1. Particle Size Distribution: To obtain information concerning the type

of soil met as various depths and to classify each soil strata, grain size
analysis were carried out as per IS: 2720 Part(-IV). The result has been
presented depth wise in tabular form.
2. Bulk Density: The bulk density of soil sample in the weight per unit
volume of soil mass. Bulk density from UDS samples were determined in the
laboratory and the depth wise results have been presented in tabular form.
3. Atterberg’s Limits: Soil consistency refers to the resistance of the soil
offered against forces that tend to deform or rupture of soil aggregate.
Consistency limits indicate the soil moisture content limits for various states
of consistency. The consistency limits include Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit
(PL), and the difference between the numerical values of Liquid Limit and
Plastic Limit is called the Plasticity Index (PL). It indicates the range of
moisture contents over which the soil remains in a plastic state. Liquid Limit
and Plastic Limit of the DS, UDS and SPT samples were determined as per
the procedure laid down in IS: 2720 (Part-V).
4. Natural Moisture Content: The Natural Moisture Content of UDS
samples collected from different depths were determined in the laboratory as
per IS: 2720 (Part-II) 1973. Moisture Content of a soil sample is the ratio of
the weight of water to the weight of dry soil. It is usually expressed as
percentage.

7.0. CONCLUSION :
The sub soil investigation has been carried out for “Development of Railway
siding for Shiva cement limited taking-off from Sogra Railway station under
chakradharpur division of South Eastern Railway.” This work was performed
by M/s. NBSP Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Anugul which was assigned by Shiva Cement
Limited (a unit of jsw).
Site stratigraphy:
 From BR NO-13, it was observed that Compressible Clay stratum is present up to
maximum depth of exploration.
 Ground water table was measured after 24 hrs of boring. At this site, the ground
water level was found below the existing G.L.
Criteria for Foundation Recommendations:

 The following conclusions, suggestions and remarks are made based on the
available test data and sub-soil profiles as per bore logs contained in this report.
 The selection of type of foundation is therefore governed primarily by the
magnitude of the maximum and permanent loading conditions, type of structure
and allowable settlements.
 The foundations typically must satisfy two independent design criteria. Firstly,
there must be an acceptable factor of safety against bearing capacity failure of the
soil under the maximum design load. Secondly, the total settlement of the
foundation due to initial distortion and consolidation of the soils under sustained
loading during the lifetime of the structure should fall within the limits that are

structurally tolerable. (Refer IS 6403:1981-Clause-6.1 & 6.1.1 and IS: 1904:1986-

Table-1).
 The proposed work has considered for setting up for construction of Minor Bridge.
Foundation Recommendations:
The following conclusions, suggestions and remarks are made based on the available
test data and sub-soil profiles as per bore logs contained in this report.
 Based on the provision of proposed structure and properties of the sub-strata
present at site, isolated footing at 4.5 m depth may be adopted, considering
a safe bearing pressure of 12 T/m2 for 25 mm permissible settlement.
 This general recommendation is not structure-specific and the designer is at liberty to decide
the depth and the type of foundation intended basing on the sub-soil characteristics and
abstract of SBP under Clause no. 6.1 made available in this report.
