INTRODUCTION
The object of the investigation was to assess the nature of soil strata and to find out
the Safe allowable pressure for the foundation soil. The report deals with the field
and laboratory investigation carried out. The Geo-technical study involved both field
and laboratory test to determine safe allowable pressure for the foundation soil. The
fieldwork consisted of borehole of 3.00 m depth. The boring points were decided in
consultation with Engineer-in-charge of the sites.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation work at this site was carried out on 10/03/2022. The following
investigation work was carried out three boreholes of diameter 150 mm were made
within the proposed layout of the structure. The boreholes are up to the depth of 3.00
meter.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was conducted in the boreholes at every 1.50 m
interval and change of strata as per specifications. Standard split spoon sampler
attached to lower end of drill rods was driven in the boreholes by means of standard
hammer of 63.50 kg falling freely from a height of 75 cm. The sampler was driven 45
cm as per specifications and number of blows required for each 15 cm penetration
was recorded. The number of blows for the first 15 cm penetration was not taken into
account as it is considered seating drive. The number of blows for next 30 cm
penetration was 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 were collected in polythene bags of suitable size. These samples were
properly sealed, labelled, recorded and carefully transported to laboratory for testing.
Undisturbed Soil Samples (UDS) were collected from the boreholes at every 1.50
m interval & change of strata as per sampling specifications, in thin walled sampling
tubes of 100 mm dia. and 450 mm length. These sampling tubes after retrieval from
the boreholes were properly waxed and sealed at both ends. These were carefully
labelled and transported to the laboratory for testing. UDS wherever slipped during
lifting, were duly marked in the bore logs as well in the soil profile.
LABORATORY TESTS
Dry and Bulk density of soil strata is obtained using Shelby tubes in accordance
with IS 2720 (Part XXIX)-1975. The results are reported in results sheets attached.
Atterberg Limits’ tests are performed in accordance with IS 2720 (Part V) - 1985
and results are reported in results sheets attached.
Specific Gravity tests are performed in accordance with IS 2720 (Part III Section1)
-1980 and the results are reported in results sheets attached.
Direct Shear Test is performed as per IS 2720 (Part XIII)-2015 on the undisturbed
soil samples obtained during the field investigation. The results and the density of
samples are reported in results sheets attached.
The results of lab tests and bore hole log charts of bore hole indicate that the strata
at the site is found to comprise of cohesive throughout the borehole explored.
The cohesive soil is found to be comprise of silty clay soil of low compressibility
and plasticity belonging to ‘CL’ type soil group of IS classification.
The results of classification tests indicate that the natural soil stratum
present at the Site is found to comprise of fine-grained soils (clayey soil)
only within explored depth.

WATER TABLE
Water table is not found throughout borehole explored. However, for calculation
purpose water table at 3.00 meter below NGL has been adopted for calculations.

It is defined as the process in which the soil volume decreases. It is also defined as
the decrease in water content of saturated soil that happens without the replacement
of water by air. Primary consolidation treats the consolidation to take place only in

Settlement coefficient: is applied when clay layer is resting on cohesion less soil layer or rock
and settlement value is high.

𝐻𝑡
𝝀 = factor related to pore pressure parameter and the ratio and read form figure given

below. In absence of data regarding the pore pressure parameter the values can be taken
from the table given below:
Type of clay 𝝀
Very sensitive clay 1.0 to 1.2
Normally consolidated clay 0.7 to1.0
Over consolidated 0.5 to 0.7
Highly Over consolidated 0.2 to 0.5
## The soil strata is found to be normal silty clayey which is recommendable for
construction purpose.
NOTE: - The above recommendations are based on the field investigation data
results and the laboratory tests results of the samples collected from the test
locations and our experience in this regards. If the actual sub-soil conditions during
excavation for the foundations differ from that has been reported, a reference should
be made to us for suggestions. Further, the recommendations are based on the
assumptions as mentioned in the Report and the designer of the Structure should
take into consideration all the factors required as per codes. The recommendations
should be taken as guidelines for the designer.
