1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Geo-technical site investigation work for. “SOIL INVESTIGATION REPORT
SUBMITTED TO TAMILNADU WATER INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED, FOR THE
PROPOSED SRI BHAVANI DYEING CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT & PIPE LINE WORK
@ KADAYAMPATTI, BHAVANI, ERODE DISTRICT-638301.” The primary purpose of
our investigation is to obtain data to develop foundation design recommendations for the above
work. At, first instance, Fourteen boreholes was bored at site. Client’s representatives selected
the locations of borings. To accomplish these purposes, the following tasks were performed:
1. Detailed soil borings were done up to stratum to explore the sub surface stratigraphy
and obtain soil samples for testing. Field and laboratory tests were conducted to
evaluate the index and engineering properties of the soils
2. Engineering analysis were performed to develop foundation design information for
proposed structure
1.2. THE SITE :

“SOIL INVESTIGATION REPORT SUBMITTED TO TAMILNADU WATER
INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED, FOR THE PROPOSED SRI BHAVANI DYEING
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT & PIPE LINE WORK @ KADAYAMPATTI, BHAVANI,
ERODE DISTRICT-638301.”
2. FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
2.1. ROTARY BORING

Rotary drilling technique was adapted using Calyx machine in this field. In this
method, boring is effected by the cutting action of a rotating bit that is kept in firm contact with
the bottom of the hole. The bit is attached to the lower end of a hollow drill rod that is rotated
by a suitable chuck. Drilling mud (usually Bentonite) is continuously forced down the hollow
drill rods. The mud returning upwards though the annular space between the drill rods and the
side of the hold bring the cutting to the surface.

2.2. STANDARD PENETRATION TEST

It is now most commonly used in site test. The test measures the penetration resistance
of the split spoon sampler, when it is driven into the soil, at the bottom of a borehole in a
standard manner. The N-value, which is the number of blow required to achieve 300mm
penetration of the soil, indicates the relative density of sand or gravel, the consistency of other
soil such as silts or clays and the strength of weak rocks. The test is described in IS 2131 -
1981. The split spoon sampler is attached to stiff drill rod and lowered to the bottom of the
bore hold. A standard blow consists of dropping a mass of 63.5kg free fall through 750 mm on
to an anvil at the top of the rods and ensuing that this amount of dynamic energy is transferred
to the sampler as much as possible.
The number of blows required to achieve each 150mm penetration is recorded for a fall
penetration of 450mm. The initial 150mm penetration is referred to as seating drive and the
blows required for this penetration are not considered as this zone is in disturbed soil. The next
300mm of penetration is referred to as the test drive and the number of blows required to
achieve this fully is termed the penetration resistance or N-value.
2.3. SAMPLING
Soil samples were collected through Split spoon and rock core sample were
collected through single tube core barrel.
3.LABORATARY TESTS
The operations to be performed in the laboratory depend upon the type of the nature of
data required for the problem at hand. In case of cohesionless material, like sand, the laboratory
tests are usually minimum and the design parameters are worked out from field test data such
as form SPT- N value, Core resistance and plate load test data.
In the case of cohesive soils, the programme of laboratory testing can vary from
carrying out simple tests such as unconfined tests to comprehensive study of soil behaviour
using triaxial shear tests and consolidation tests.
Following laboratory tests are conducted.
For Cohesion & cohesionless soil
a) Specific gravity
b) Sieve analysis
c) Atterberg’s limits
d) Natural moisture content

4. FOUNDATION ANALYSIS
4.1 Soil Profile

The profile of the area as observed in the bore hole is given in the chart. The water
level is observed far below. The soil layer up to 7.00m depth is SOFT DISINTEGRATED
ROCK was obtained
4.2 Safe Bearing Capacity

The bearing capacity of granular soil depends upon the unit weight and angle of internal
friction of the soil. These two properties of granular soils are determined by standard
penetration tests.
The allowable bearing pressure based on tolerable settlement has been established
empirically by Terzaghi and Peck, 1948 and may be expressed by the equation.
Safe bearing capacity (SBC) = 3.5 (N-3) {(B+0.3)/2B}2 × RW × FD +P
Where
N = Corrected N value N1
B = Width of Foundation = constant 1
RW = Water Correction = constant 0.5
FD = Depth of Factor = constant 1
P = Over Burden Pressure
