In soil, boreholes of 150mm dia. were drilled as per the standard procedure laid in IS: 1892.
Wherever rocky strata was encountered before achieving the required depth below E.G.L.,
bore holes were further extended beyond refusal through soft/ hard rock using Hydraulic
drilling Rigs with Nx size double tube core barrel / diamond bits upto required depth below
the EGL and were terminated as per the instruction of Engr. in-charge.
Casing was used as per the prevailing soil conditions, to stabilize the borehole.
Undisturbed / disturbed samples were collected wherevery feasible as per the requirements
and at specified depths / levels. The same has been discussed in detail in soil characteristics
sheets attached with the report.
Water table was met in all the boreholes (BH-136 and BH-139) at depths varies from 1.50m
to 9.50m below from EGL.
The detailed procedure adopted for conducting various field tests is given here in below:
The Standard Penetration Test was conducted in boreholes as per IS 2131. The test was carried out
using the standard split spoon sampler to measure the number of blows ‘N’.

43.800 on Hybrid Annuity Mode under Bharatmala Pariyojna, in the state of Andhra Pradesh and
Tamil Nadu (Package-I)
Standard split spoon sampler was attached to an ‘A’ rod. It was driven from borehole bottom to a
distance of 45 cm using a standard hammer of 63.5 kg falling freely from a height of 75 cm to the
required depth. While driving, the number of blows required to penetrate every 15 cm are recorded.
The total number of blows required for the last 30 cm is taken as ‘N’ value at that particular depth
of the borehole. Wherever the total penetration was less than 45cm, the no. of blows & the depth
penetrated is recorded in the respective borelog.
SPT ‘N’ values were correlated with relative density of non-cohesive stratum and with consistency of
cohesive stratum as given below:-
Table 1.2: Soil compactness as per SPT N values (cl. 9.7, table 9.3 & 9.4, page 330_text book
of V.N.S. Murthy)

Medium 4-8 Medium 10 - 30
Stiff 8 - 15 Dense 30 - 50
Very Stiff 15 - 30 Very Dense > 50
Hard > 30
(a) For overburden: - The N value for cohesionless soil is corrected with the help of fig. 1 given in IS-
2131.
(b) Due to dilatancy :- Wherever N values observed below water table in fine sand, silty sand or silt was
greater than 15, then corrected N values were corrected as under:
N’ =15 + ½ (N-15)
(ii) Disturbed Sampling (Soil) in boreholes:
Disturbed soil samples were collected at a regular interval starting from ground level and at every
identifiable change of strata. Samples were immediately sealed, labeled and carefully transported to the
laboratory for testing.

mm. The samples were carefully labeled and transported to the laboratory for testing. Undisturbed
samples wherever slipped during lifting were duly marked in the field logs as well as in the soil profile.
As the water table was met at the location of boreholes carried out for proposed structures. All the
samples were properly sealed, lebeled and carefully transported to the laboratory for chemical
analysis.
Drilling was done by rotary core drilling method using double tube core barrels as per the
guidelines of IS: 6926-1196, because of its ability in retaining higher quality of rock samples. A
core barrel and Nx sized bits were used for drilling and recovering rock cores. Recovered rock
cores were numbered serially and preserved in good quality sturdy wooden core boxes as specified
in IS: 4078-1980. Rock core recovery and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) were computed for
every run length. Water was used as the drilling fluid. The ratio of total length of rock pieces
collected to length drilled, expressed as percentage and known as core recovery was recorded. To
obtain RQD (Rock Quality Designation), only those pieces of rock which were 10 cm and longer
were measured for the total length. The above length divided by length drilled, expressed as
percentage, was recorded as RQD. The Core Recovery and RQD value were assigned based on
Standard procedure given in IS: 11315 (Part 11).
Thus
(a) Core recovery in % = (Length of Core / Length of run) x 100
(b) RQD in % = (Length of core in pieces of 100mm and above / Length of run) x100
Rock classification in terms of weathering, state of fractures & strength was carried out in the
following manner as tabulated below:-

was then transferred to the cup of the mechanical mixer and the soil suspension was stirred for 15
minutes. The soil suspension was transferred into 1000 ml measuring cylinder and distilled water
was added to make 1000ml solution. This solution was mixed vigorously. The measuring cylinder
was then allowed to stand and the stopwatch was started. Hydrometer was immersed in the
solution and reading were taken after half, one, two and four minutes. The hydrometer was then
removed slowly and kept in distilled water at the same temperature as the soil suspension.
Readings were taken after the periods of 8, 15 and 30 minutes, and one, two and four hours.
Hydrometer was removed, rinsed and placed in the distilled water after each reading. After 4 hours
reading was taken once or twice within 24 hours. Finally a reading was taken at the end of 24
hours. The temperature of the suspension was observed and recorded.

From the study of the borehole logs of 04 BHs it is revealed that the sub strata :
At the location of BH-136:-
a) From existing ground level to 1.50m depth consists of fine grained strata i.e., Silty Clay.
b) From depth 1.50m to 6.07m depth consists of coarse grained strata i.e., Silty Sand (SM).
c) From depth 6.07m to the termination depth consists of rocky strata i.e., Completely weathered
GRANITE.
At the location of BH-137:-
a) From existing ground level to 4.02m depth consists of coarse grained strata i.e., Silty Sand (SM).
b) From depth 4.02m to the termination depth consists of rocky strata i.e., Highly weathered
GRANITE.
At the location of BH-138:-
a) From existing ground level to 1.50m depth consists of Murrum type of soil.
b) From depth 1.50m to 3.04m depth consists of coarse grained strata i.e., Silty Sand (SM).
c) From depth 3.04m to the termination depth consists of rocky strata i.e., Highly weathered
GRANITE.
At the location of BH-139:-
a) From existing ground level to 1.50m depth consists of fine grained strata i.e., Silty Clay.
b) From depth 1.50m to 3.55m depth consists of coarse grained strata i.e., Silty Sand (SM).
c) From depth 3.55m to the termination depth consists of rocky strata i.e., Completely weathered
GRANITE.
The Ground Water Table at the locations of boreholes (BH-136 and BH-139) though was
encountered at depths varies from 1.50m to 9.50m below the existing ground level, it may rise up
during heavy rains / rainy season. However, for the analysis of various foundations, the water table
has been considered at existing ground level.
Results of chemical analysis of soil samples (as per Appendix – B2) indicates that the soil sample
falls under Class I for sulphates and chlorides concentration (As per IS 456-2000 and CIRIA Sp.
Publication No. 31). The results are summarized here in below :-

Liquefaction is the sudden loss of shear strength of the sub soil strata due to earthquake-induced
vibration under saturated conditions.
Next threshold cyclic shear stress, which is good enough to cause liquefaction, is determined from
SPT data and the empirical relations. Finally, comparison of these two stresses is used in the
estimation of liquefaction susceptibility of the foundation strata.
Unsaturated soils are not subjected to liquefaction because vibratory forces from earthquakes do
not cause any increase in pore water pressure in such soils.
The site of proposed project is located at Chittoor-Thatchur Road, in the state of Andhra Pradesh
and Tamil Nadu & the site falls in seismic zone – III (Zone factor=0.16) of India. Further as per
the provisions of IS: 1893 in soil deposits consisting of submerged loose sands & soils falling
under classification of SP with standard penetration N value less than 15, the shaking caused by
earthquake ground motion may cause liquefaction or excessive total and differential settlements.
For the cohesionless strata encountered in the boreholes at site, the IS: 1893 (Part-1)-2016 should
be referred for the analysis of Liquefaction Potential and for the cohesive strata, RDSO BS-118
should be referred.

a. Cohesive soils should be considered liquefiable if wl≤ 37 %, Ip≤ 12 % and wn>0.80 wl, where Ip is
the Plasticity Index.
b. Liquefaction susceptibility of soils should be considered marginal if wl ≤ 47 %, Ip≤ 20 % and wn≥
0.85 wl, where Ip is the Plasticity Index.
c. Cohesive soils should be considered non-liquefiable if wl>47 % or Ip>20 % or wn<0.85 wl, where
Ip is the Plasticity Index.
As the strata encountered at the location of the proposed project is having SPT ‘N’ value is N>100
and rocky strata exists from 0.50m -1.50m to the termination depth having very dense, it is safe to
say that the strata at the location is not susceptible to liquefaction.

The details of foundation analysis are given in the subsequent paragraph.
For soils, containing both coarse grained (gravels & sands) and fine grained (clays), c and Φ are
used to determine the soil strength. In case of predominantly fine grained soils, c and Φ are
determined by the Triaxial Compression test as per IS: 2720 pt XI. For predominantly coarse
grained soils, c and Φ are determined by Direct Shear test as per IS: 2720 pt XIII. These c and Φ
values were used for determining the SBC of soil as per shear failure criteria.
The ultimate net bearing capacity in case of general shear failure is given by following expression,
qd = c Nc sc dc ic + q (Nq-1) sq dq iq + (1/2) B NsdiW'
The ultimate net bearing capacity in case of local shear failure is given by following expression,
q'd = (2/3) c N'c sc dc ic + q (N'q-1) sq dq iq + (1/2) B N'sdiW'
Where,
dc = 1+ 0.2 (Df/B)*SQRT(N)
dq = d = 1 for <10o

Allowable Bearing Pressure from Settlement Failure consideration has been computed in
accordance with IS: 8009 (Part-I). The magnitude of settlement, when foundation loads are
applied, depends upon the compressibility of the underlying strata and rigidity of the substructure.
The total permissible settlement in cohesion-less soil is estimated using SPT value as per IS: 8009
(Part-I). While using this approach, the N value was corrected, wherever applicable, below the
footing base to at least 1.5B (where 'B' is the width of foundation) for the effects of energy ratio,
dilation for submerged silty fine sands / fine sands as well as that due to the overburden pressure.
Further the immediate settlements in cohesive soil are estimated using the elastic theory
considering the effect of a rigid stratum underlying the foundation soils (Reference: “Foundation
Analysis and Design” by J.E.Bowles) and for consolidation settlement in cohesive soil the
following equation has been used:
St = ∆P Mv H
Where,
Mv = Coefficient of volume compressibility, cm2/kg
∆P = Pressure increment, kg/cm2
H = Thickness of layers
For the analysis of raft foundation the total permissible settlement have been considered as 50mm
as per IS 1904.

Tamil Nadu (Package-I)
Zone of influence below foundation has been considered up to 1.5 times the width of the
foundation.
Lower of the two values obtained from settlement and shear criteria is used in arriving at allowable
bearing capacity of the soil.
Sample calculation for computation of allowable bearing capacity of sub-strata for raft foundation
resting on soil are attached vide Appendix C-1.
MEHTOD 1:
This method can be used where cores of the rock can be taken and unconfined compressive
strength directly established using standard method of testing. The Ultimate Capacity of Pile can
be calculated by using following expression:
Qu = Re + Raf = Ksp . qc df. Ab + As Cus
Q allow = (Re / 3) + (Raf / 6)
Where,
Qu = Ultimate capacity of pile socketed into rock in Newtons
Qallow = Allowable capacity of Pile
Re = Ultimate end bearing
Raf = Ultimate side socket shear
Ksp = An empirical co-efficient whose value ranges from 0.3 to 1.2 as per the table below for
The rocks where core recovery is reported, and cores tested for uniaxial compressive
strength.

METHOD 2:
This method can be used in situations where strata is highly fragmented, where RQD is nil or (CR
+ RQD) / 2 is less than 30 percent, or where strata is classified as a granular or clayey soil, or
when the crushing strength is less than 10MP, or cores and / or core testing result are not available,
or when geo-material is highly fragmented. Also, for weak rock like chalk, mud stone, clay stone,
shale and other intermediate rocks, Method-2 is applicable. The shear strength of geo-material is
obtained from its correlation with extrapolated SPT values for 300 mm of penetration as given in
table below:-

All The above recommendations are based on the field and laboratory tests conducted on selected
soil samples and our experience in this regard. If the actual substrata conditions during
excavation for the foundation differ from the observations reported here, the design
experts/consultants should be referred for suggestion, further investigations.
