INTRODUCTION

The report presented herein deals with the result of field and laboratory
investigation carried out to assess the nature of sub-soil strata and to evaluate
the bearing capacity and other parameters for subsequently designing the
foundation of structure for (C/o Main delivery Tank at Kasol LIS)
1.02 The work of soil investigations was assigned to M/s S T Associates, Dhakoli (Pb)

2.00 SCOPE OF WORK

The soil investigation covers the following: -
2.01 Conducting DCPT (Dynamic cone penetration test) in 1 No of pits up to depth
of 4.0 m or Refusal whichever is earlier

2.02 Collecting soil samples at various depths as per requirement of the Client from
the bore holes as feasible, for laboratory tests.

2.03 Analyzing the field and laboratory observations.

2.04 Submitting two copies of the soil investigations report and recommending safe
bearing capacity of soil.

5.00 FIELD INVESTIGATIONS

The field investigation was conducted to cover the entire scope of the job.

5.01 DYNAMIC CONE PENETRATION TEST (DCPT)

The DCPT were conducted at various depths in the pit. These tests were
conducted by driving into the soil a standard split spoon sampler. This sampler
was driven with the help of a hammer weighing 63.5 kg. Which was vertically
guided to fall through a free height of 75cm on the driving head. This driving
head was attached to a drill rod, to the other end of which the sampler was fitted.
The number of blows required to penetrate the first, second and third 15 cm
lengths of the sampler were noted. The number of blow(i.e.N value), as given in
the data sheets of bore holes, is the numerical value for the number of blows
counted during the second and third stages i.e. for a depth of 30 cms. The
procedure adopted for conducting this test was as per IS: 2131. The observed N
values for all the boreholes have been noted down in tables. These values were
corrected for over burden pressure.

6.00 LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS

6.01 The laboratory testing program was aimed at verifying the field classifications
and developing parameters for engineering analysis. All the tests were performed in
accordance with the current applicable IS specifications. The following tests were
conducted to determine the engineering characteristics of sub soils.

6.02 WATER CONTENT

The water content of samples has been evaluated after drying each sample in an
oven at 110°C for 24 hours as per procedure laid down in the IS: 2720 (Part II)

6.03 GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS:

Grain Size analysis was carried out on Disturbed Samples obtained during
boring operation. Percentage of sand and combined Silt and Clay were
determined from this analysis. The test was carried out as per IS: 2720 (Part IV)

6.04 The wet density and grain size analysis was done for the samples taken as per
IS: 2720 (Part IV)

6.05 Atterberg’s limits tests were performed in accordance with IS 2720 (part V)-
1985 and results have been reported in bore logs.

6.06 Specific Gravity tests were performed in accordance with IS 2720 (part III sec-
1)-1980 and the results have been reported in bore logs
6.07 DIRECT SHEAR TEST

This test was performed in a shear-box apparatus. The apparatus consisted of

two-piece shear box of square cross-section. The lower half of the box was
rigidly held in positions in a container which rested over rollers and which was
pushed forward at a constant rate by a geared jack, driven by an electric motor.
The upper half of the box butted against a proving ring. The soil sample was
compacted in the shear box and was held between metal grids and porous stones.
Normal load was applied on the pressure pad. The shearing strain was made to
increase at constant rate. The shear force at failure corresponding to the applied
normal load was measured with the help of the proving ring. A number of
identical specimens were tested under increasing normal loads and the required
maximum shear force was recorded and a graph was plotted between shear force
as the ordinate and normal load as the abscissa to get the failure envelops and the
value of C & Ø.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Keeping in mind, the field test results, laboratory test results and IS codes of
practice the following recommendations are hereby made :

Isolated Footing is one of the most used types of foundation to support single-
columns when they are arranged at a long distance. An isolated footing must be
designed to avoid exceeding its bearing capacity and provide safety against
overturning or sliding while preventing the ground from settling.
