4.3.1 Standard penetration tests were conducted in the above bore holes at regular interval
in depth & at change of strata as per specifications / instructions of Engineer-in-
Charge. The bores were cleaned up to the desired depths. Standard split spoon
sampler attached to lower end of ‘A’ drill rods was driven in the bore holes by means
of standard hammer of 65.0 kg. falling freely from a height of 75 cm. The sampler
was driven 45 cm as per specifications & the number of blows required for each 15
cm penetration were recorded. The number of blows for the first 15 cm penetration
were not taken into account. This was considered as seating drive. The number of
blows for next 30 cm penetration were designated as SPT ‘N’ value. The depth wise
variation in SPT observed ‘N’ values for various bore holes are shown in figure (7).
Disturbed soil samples obtained from standard split spoon sampler for all the above
standard penetration tests were collected in polythene bags of suitable size. These
samples were properly sealed, labeled, recorded and carefully transported to the
laboratory for testing.
4.3.2 Undisturbed soil samples were collected from the bore holes at regular interval in
depth & at change of strata as per sampling specifications, in thin walled sampling
tubes of 100 mm dia and 450 mm length fitted to an adopter with ball and socket
arrangement. These sampling tubes after retrieval from the bore holes were properly
waxed and sealed at both ends. These were carefully labeled and transported to the
laboratory for testing.
4.3.3 Disturbed soil samples were also collected from the bore holes at suitable
depths/intervals to supplement the boring records. These samples were collected in
polythene bags of suitable size. These samples were properly sealed, labeled,
recorded & carefully transported to the laboratory for testing.
4.3.4 The depth of ground water table was checked/measured in all bore holes/test
locations, on full stabilization of ground water table. The ground water table was
encountered at depths varying from 0.45 to 0.60 m below the existing ground level at
the locations of bore holes BH-1 to BH-15.
4.3.5 Five ground water samples were collected at site from specified bore hole locations
(BH-1, BH-3, BH-8, BH-11 & BH13) as soon as the water table was stuck. Each
sample was stored in suitable plastic container of adequate capacity having air tight
lids. All the samples were properly labeled, sealed and carefully transported to the
laboratory for chemical analysis.

5.1 The following laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples recovered
from various bore hole / test locations : -
All the above laboratory tests were carried out as per relevant Indian Standards. The
results of laboratory tests are shown in tables (2) to (22), (31) to (34) & figures (20)
to (105). The grain size analysis curves are presented in figures (24) to (41). The
stress strain curves & failure envelopes for triaxial / Direct shear tests are shown in
(42) to (69). Shear strength tests were conducted on saturated soil samples at suitable
pressure ranges so as to obtain the in-situ strata conditions. The values of modulus of
Elasticity (E) (taken as the tangent modulus at the stress level equal to one-half the
maximum deviator stress applied during the tests) obtained from triaxial shear tests
are shown in table (31). The results of one dimensional consolidation tests are shown
in figures (70) to (105). Sample calculations for computation of compression Index
(Cc) & Coefficient of volume compressibility (mv) are shown in table (32). The depth
wise variation in soil strength parameters are shown vide figures (20) to (23). The
results of chemical analysis on soil samples are shown in table (33) & of ground
water samples in table (34). All the above tests were carried out as per laboratory
schedule approved by the client. All the soil samples were identified and classified as
per IS:1498-1970.
6.0 TEST RESULTS & INTERPRETATIONS:
6.1 The bore logs of all bore holes & trial pits are given in tables (2) to (22). The cross-
sections along various bore holes are shown in figures (2) to (6). The study of bore
logs/results of laboratory and other field tests as above from ground level reveal
that: -
(a) From existing ground surface to 4.00 m depth consists predominantly of fine gained
soils i.e. clayey silt of low to medium plasticity (CI/CL) & sandy silt of low plasticity
(CL) having SPT field ‘N’ values mostly ranging from 4 to 12 showing medium to
stiff consistency of the strata. However, at the location of bore hole BH-7 the sub-soil
strata from existing ground surface 1.00 m depth consists of filled-up soil.
(b) From depth 4.00 m to 10.00 m depth consists predominantly of fine grained soils i.e.
clayey silt of low to medium plasticity (CI/CL) & sandy silt of low plasticity (CL)
having SPT field ‘N’ values mostly ranging from 8 to 22 showing medium
consistency of the strata to very stiff consistency of the strata.
(c) From depth 1.00 m to 15.45 – 25.45 m depths consists predominantly of fine gained
soils i.e. clayey silt of low to high plasticity (CH/CI/CL) having SPT field ‘N’ values
mostly ranging from 12 to 32 showing stiff consistency of the strata to hard
consistency of the strata.
6.2 The load Vs settlement curves of five plate load tests (PLT-1 to PLT-5) conducted at
specified locations at depths 2.00 m, 2.00 m, 3.00 m, 2.00 m & 2.00 m respectively
below the existing ground level are shown in figures (8) to (17). From the study of the
load Vs settlement curves it is revealed that :-
PLT-1
(a) Net ultimate bearing capacity of 2.30 kg/cm2 is obtained. On applying a factor of
safety of 2.5, net safe bearing capacity of 9.2 t/m2 is arrived at 2.00 m depth below
the existing ground level.
(b) The modulus of sub-grade reaction (K-value) worked out to be 2.77 Kg/cm3 for plate
size of 60.0 cm x 60.0 cm. after applying correction for bending and saturation.
(a) Net ultimate bearing capacity of 2.10 kg/cm2 is obtained. On applying a factor of
safety of 2.5, net safe bearing capacity of 8.4 t/m2 is arrived at 2.00 m depth below
the existing ground level.
(b) The modulus of sub-grade reaction (K-value) worked out to be 1.64 Kg/cm3 for plate
size of 60.0 cm x 60.0 cm. after applying correction for bending and saturation.
PLT-3
(a) Net ultimate bearing capacity of 2.70 kg/cm2 is obtained. On applying a factor of
safety of 2.5, net safe bearing capacity of 10.8 t/m2 is arrived at 3.00 m depth below
the existing ground level.
(b) The modulus of sub-grade reaction (K-value) worked out to be 1.67 Kg/cm3 for plate
size of 60.0 cm x 60.0 cm. after applying correction for bending and saturation.
PLT-4
(a) Net ultimate bearing capacity of 2.90 kg/cm2 is obtained. On applying a factor of
safety of 2.5, net safe bearing capacity of 11.6 t/m2 is arrived at 2.00 m depth below
the existing ground level.
(b) The modulus of sub-grade reaction (K-value) worked out to be 1.56 Kg/cm3 for plate
size of 60.0 cm x 60.0 cm. after applying correction for bending and saturation.
PLT-5
(a) Net ultimate bearing capacity of 2.55 kg/cm2 is obtained. On applying a factor of
safety of 2.5, net safe bearing capacity of 10.2 t/m2 is arrived at 2.00 m depth below
the existing ground level.
(b) The modulus of sub-grade reaction (K-value) worked out to be 2.13 Kg/cm3 for plate
size of 60.0 cm x 60.0 cm. after applying correction for bending and saturation.
6.4 The ground water table though encountered at depths varying from 0.45 to
0.60 m depths below the existing ground level at the locations of various
bore holes, it may rise up during heavy rains/rainy season or go down during
dry season. Therefore, for analysis of various foundations the ground water
table has been considered to rise upto the existing ground level.
6.5 From the results of chemical analysis of five soil samples from selected
depths in bore holes BH-2, BH-5, BH-9, BH-12 & BH-15 as shown in table
(33), it is revealed that pH value ranged from 6.6 to 7.4, Carbonate content
(as CO3) Nil, Sulphate (as SO4) from 0.0136 % to 0.0285 %, Sulphate
content (as SO3) from 0.0113 % to
0.0237 %, Chloride content (as CL) from 0.0195 % to 0.0320 %, Nitrate
Content from 0.0037 % to 0.0074 % & Organic matter from 0.0178 % to
0.0425 %. From the study of above results, it is revealed that the various
contents are within permissible limits as per IS: 456-2000 & no special
precautions are required due to this.
6.6 From the results of chemical analysis of five water samples from bore
holes BH-1, BH-3, BH-8, BH-11 & BH13) as shown in table (34), it is
