1. INTRODUCTION
Project Name- Construction of 500 Bedded Working Women Hostel at Nirsa Dhanbad
Jharkhand.

The objective of the investigation was to determine sub-soil characteristic at site

and evaluate soil parameter for design and construction of foundation. The number
and depth of borehole was decided by the client/consultant. One bore-hole was
executed out upto depth of 5.00 meter below the Natural Ground Level in order to
know the subsurface stratification; The Manual Standard Penetration Test has been
conducted on Site to carry out necessary field tests and to collect disturbed and
undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing.
The report has been prepared after careful study of all field and laboratory test
data, and it deals with the geo-technical properties of sub-soil. The remaining
part of this report covers the field work, laboratory tests and discussion and
recommendation of foundation and other details such as Bore hole Log Sheet,
Laboratory test results, Sub-soil stratification and Graphical representation.
The actual field investigation work was started on 15.07.2026.

2. SUB SURFACE EXPLORATION

2.1 DRILLING:
One bore-hole was executed out upto depth of 5.00 meter up to Termination depth.
Where caving of the borehole occurred, casing was used to keep the borehole stable.
The work was in general accordance with IS: 1892 – 2021.

2.1.1 DISTURBED SAMPLES:

Disturbed representative samples were collected, logged, labeled and placed in
polythene bags.

2.1.2 UNDISTURBED SAMPLES:

Undisturbed soil samples were collected in 100 mm diameter thin walled sampler from
the borehole. The sampler used for the sampling had smooth surface and appropriate
area ratio and cutting edge angle thereby minimizing the disturbance of the soil
sample during sampling. Samples were sealed, logged and labeled properly before
transferring it to the laboratory for further testing.

2.1.3 WATER TABLE:

Water table was encountered Listed Below Table from the natural ground level.
Seeing the water table and considering the hydro-geological data of the Central
Ground Water Board the water table is expected to lie below the base of the
foundation. So, for all practical purpose of the calculation water table will be
considered at 0.0 m below ground level keeping all the seasonal variations in mind.

2.1.4 REGIONAL SEISMICITY

The intensity of an earthquake at a place is a measure of the strength of

shaking during the earthquake, and is indicated by a number according to the
modified Mercalli Scale or M.S.K. Scale of seismic intensities.
Source: IS: 1893 (Part -1): 2016 – Criterion for Earthquake resistant design
of Structures. In seismic design the project site and its surrounding falls
in Zone-III and Zone factor, Z of 0.16 is recommended. Seismic zone factor
for different seismic zone is given in Table below

Seismic Zone II III IV V

Seismic VERY
LOW MODERATE SEVERE
Intensity SEVERE
Z 0.10 0.16 0.24 0.36

The area falls under Zone-III as classified by Bureau of Indian Standards,

Indicating Moderate Zone.

2.1.5 LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction is a state in saturated cohesion less soil wherein the
effective shear strength is reduced to negligible value for all engineering
purpose due to pore pressure caused by vibrations during an earthquake when
they approach the total confining pressure. In this condition the soil tends
to behave like a fluid mass.
Typically, cyclic loading of saturated soils leads to the buildup of excess
pore-water pressure as a result of soil particles being rearranged with a
tendency toward denser packing. Under undrained conditions (such as during
earthquake shaking), loads are transferred from the soil skeleton to the
pore-water with consequent reduction in the soils’ shear strength.
Liquefaction-induced ground settlement and lateral spreading have been the
primary cause for extensive damage to aboveground structures, foundations
and pipelines during many earthquakes.

Liquefaction potential shall be evaluated by well-established methods of

geotechnical engineering, based on field correlations between in situ
measurements and the critical cyclic shear stresses known to have caused
liquefaction during past earthquakes. Liquefaction potential may be
estimated by calculating the factor of safety FOS,
Which is given as- FOS CRR/CSR
Where, CRR – Cyclic resistance Ratio
CSR – Cyclic Stress Ratio The soil shall be considered as liquefiable if,
FOS < 1
Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) The cyclic resistance is to be calculated from
measured blow count values of Standard Penetration Testing (NSPT), suitably
modified with different correction factors. The corrected SPT blow count is

represented by N1 (60) for hammer efficiency of 60 percent and is evaluated

from expression below- N1 (60) = NC60CN
Where, N=Uncorrected SPT blow count C60=CHTCHWCSSCRLCBD= correction factor
for non-standard SPT configurations CN= Overburden Correction Factor

2.1.6 METHOD OF SAMPLING:

Sampler is coupled together with a sampler head to form a sampling assembly. The
sampler head provide an on-flexible connection between the sampling tube and the
drill rods. Vent holes are provided in the sampler head to allow escape of water
from the top of sampler tube during penetration. The sampling tubes are made free
from dust and rust. Coating of oil is applied on both sides to obtain the
undisturbed samples in best possible manner.
The sampler is then lowered inside the borehole on a string of rods and driven to a
pre-determined level. On completion of driving the sampler is first rotated within
the borehole to shear the soil sample at bottom and then pulled out. Upon removal
of the sampling tubes, the length of sample in the tube is recorded. The disturbed
material in the upper end of the tube, if any, is completely removed before
sealing.
The soil at the lower end of the tube is trimmed to a distance of about 10 to 20
mm. After cleaning and inserting an impervious disc at each end, both ends are
sealed. The empty space in the sampler, if any, is filled with the moist soil, and
the ends covered with tight wrapper. The identification mark is then made on each
sample.

2.2 STANDARD PENETRATION TEST:

The standard penetration tests are conducted in each bore as per IS: 2131:1981
(Reaffirmed 2002). The split spoon sampler resting on the bottom of bore hole is
allowed to sink under its own weight, and then the split spoon sampler is seated 15
cm with the blows of hammer falling through 750 mm. The driving assembly consists
of a driving head and a 63.5 kg weight.

It is ensured that the energy of the falling weight is not reduced by friction
between the drive weight and the guides or between ropes. The rods to which the
sampler is attached for driving are straight, tightly coupled and straight in
alignment. There after the split spoon sample is further driven by 30 cm. The
number of blows required to drive each 15 cm penetration is recorded. The first 15
cm of drive considered as seating drive. The total blows required for the second
and third 15cm penetration is termed as a penetration resistance- N value. The N-
values for each bore hole are given in bore-logs.

3.1 Natural Moisture Content Test (IS: 2720, 1992 Part 2)

Test procedure conforms to IS: 2720-Part 2. A moisture cup is loosely filled with
soil sample and weighed with lid. It is then kept in oven with lid removed and
maintained at temperature of oven at 110°C for 24hours. The lid of the container is
then replaced and the dry weight found out. The percentage of water content is
calculated using the formula.
W = ((W2 – W3) / (W3 – W1)) x 100
Where,
W1 = weight of container with lid, in g.
W2 = weight of container with wet soil, in g.
W3 = weight of container with dry soil, in g.
W = moisture content (%)
3.2 Grain Size Analysis (IS: 2720, 1992 Part 4)
Testing procedure generally conforms to IS: 2720 Part 4. Both sieve and hydrometer
analysis has been carried out.

Sieve Analysis: Sieve analysis is done by wet sieving method. Oven dried soil is
washed through 75m IS sieve. Fraction retained was oven dried and particle size
analysis carried out using sieve shaker by passing through the following IS sieve:
4.75mm, 2.36mm, 1.70mm, 1.40mm, 1.00mm, 600µ, 425µ, 100µ, and 75µ respectively.

Hydrometer Analysis: 50g of soil 75m passing IS sieve was mixed with 3.3g passing
sodium hexa-meta-phosphate and 0.7g sodium carbonate and soil suspension prepared.
Suspension was made up to 1000ml distilled water and then shaken thoroughly.
Hydrometer is immersed to a depth slightly below its floating position and then
allowed to float freely. Hydrometer readings are taken at 10, 20, 30 and 45 sec,
subsequently at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15 and 30 minutes and finally at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hour
interval. Diameter of the particle in suspension at any sampling time‘t’ is
calculated using “Stokes” formula and the percentage finer was calculated. In the
semi log graph, silt and clay fractions are indicated along with coarser fractions.

3.3 Specific Gravity Test (IS: 2720, Part 3 1992)

The specific gravity of soil solids is determined by a 50 ml density bottle. The

weight (W1) of the empty dry bottle is taken first. A sample of oven-dried soil
about 10-20 g cooled in a desiccators, is put in the bottle, and weight (W2) of the
bottle and the soil taken. The bottle is then filled with distilled water gradually
removing the entrapped air either by applying (W3) of the bottle, soil and water
(full up to the top) is then taken. Finally the bottle is emptied completely and
thoroughly washed and clean water is filled to the top and the weight (W4) is
taken.
G = (W2 – W1) / [(W4 – W1) – (W3 – W2)]

3.4 ATTERBERG’S LIMITS TEST (IS: 2720, PART 5 1992)

Liquid limit and plastic limit test on cohesive and semi cohesive samples has been
done as per procedure in IS 2720 (Part 5).

Liquid Limit: Liquid limit and plastic limit test on cohesive has been done as per
procedure in IS 2720 (Part5) using the more “reliable cone penetrometer”, method
where errors of grove cutting involved in Casagrande’s device are minimized. In
cone penetrometer test about 200 g of passing 425µ sieve is taken mixed with
requisite water, placed in cup and compacted lightly in 3layers. The tip of
penetrometer is adjusted such that it just touches soil surface. The needle is
allowed to plunge slowly under its own weight for 5 seconds and penetration in mm
is recorded. The water content is adjusted such that penetration is between 20-30
mm. The following relationship is used to evaluate liquid limit.
Plastic Limit: About 15g of oven dried soil passing through 425µ sieve is mixed
with sufficient quantity of water to become plastic enough to be easily shaped into
a ball. A portion of this ball is rolled on a glass plate with the palm into a
thread of uniform diameter of 3mm. The corresponding water content represents the
plastic limit of the soil.
Plasticity Index: PI = Liquid limit – Plastic limit.
3.5 Shrinkage Limit (IS: 2720, Part 6, 1992):
It is the maximum water content expressed as percentage of oven-dry weight at which
any further reduction in water content will not cause a decrease in volume of the
soil mass is calculated as follows:
SL = W – ((V – V0) / W0) x 100
Where,
SL = Shrinkage limit in %.
W = Moisture content of wet soil pat in %.
V = Volume of wet soil pat in ml.
V0 = Volume of dry soil pat in ml.
W0 = Weight of oven-dried soil pat in gm.

3.6 Direct Shear Test (IS: 2720, Part 13, 1992)

Direct shear test is carried out using shear box with the specimens (60mmx60mm).
Specimen with plain grid plate at the bottom of the specimen and plain grid plate
at the top of the specimen is fitted in to position in the shear box housing and
assembly placed on the load frame. The serrations of the grid plates are kept at
right angle to the direction of shear. The loading pad is kept on the top grid
plate. The required normal stress is applied and the rate of longitudinal
displacement shear stress application so adjusted that no drainage can occur in the
sample during test (1.25mm/min.). The upper part of the shear box is raised such
that a gap of about 1mm is left between the two parts of the box .The test is
conducted by applying Horizontal shear load to failure or to 20 percent
longitudinal displacement whichever occurs first. The test is repeated on identical
specimens.

3.7 Unconfined Compressive Strength Test (IS: 2720, Part 10, 1991)
For the determination of shearing strength a specimen may or may not be subjected
to a lateral pressure during the test. When it is not, the test is known as
unconfined compression test. The purpose of this test is to obtain a quantitative
value of compressive and shearing strength of soils in an undrained state. After
placing the specimen under the plate, force shall be applied so as to produce axial
strain at a rate of 0.5 to 2 percent per minute causing failure with 5 to 10. The
force reading shall be taken at suitable intervals of the deformation dial reading.
The specimen shall be compressed until failure surfaces have definitely developed,
or the stress-strain curve is well past its peak, or until an axial strain of 20
percent is reached. The failure pattern shall be sketched carefully and shown on
the data sheet or on the sheet presenting the stress-strain plot. The angle between
the failure surface and the horizontal may be measured, if possible, and reported.
3.8 Triaxial Shear Test (UU) (IS: 2720 Part 11, 1992)
The extracted specimen is then placed in Triaxial cell pedestal. The cell is
assembled and placed on loading machine. A cell pressure through an operating fluid
(oil) was applied. The plunger was made to have proper contact with specimen. A
compressive force at a constant strain rate of 1.25mm / min is applied, till the
failure occurred within a period of 5 – 15 minutes or till the failure of 20 %
strain was removed, cell chamber cleaned and test continued on a new specimen.
The test was repeated on three different specimens at three different cell
pressures as per standard practice. Mohr-Coulomb envelopes were drawn for three
stress values recorded and total stress parameters interpreted from the Mohr-
Coulomb graph.
3.9 Free Swell Value Test (IS: 2720, Part 40 1977)
Free Swell Index Test was conformed as per IS: 2720 – Part – 40 – 1977. In this
test 10 gm of soil passing IS sieve 42µ is taken. Two graduated cylinders of 25 ml
capacity are taken. One cylinder is filled with Kerosene oil and the other with
distilled water and soil. Remove entrapped air by shaking well and stirring using a
glass rod. Allow the soil in both the jars to settle for a sufficient time (not
less than 24 hours) for the soil sample to attain equilibrium state of volume
without any further changes. Free swell index is calculated as follows:
F.S.I (%) = [(Vd – Vk) / Vk] x 100
Where,
Vd = the volume of soil sample read from the graduated cylinder containing
distilled water.
Vk = the volume of soil sample read from the graduated cylinder containing
Kerosene.

Swell Pressure Test (IS: 2720, Part 41, 1977)

The swell pressure tests are carried out at field dry density with zero percent
moisture content and by constant and volume method. An oven dry soil specimen is
compacted into the specimen ring with the specimen kept in between two porous stone
saturated in boiling water providing a filter paper between the Soil specimen and
the porous stones. The loading block is then positioned centrally on the top of the
porous stone. The assembly is then placed on the platen of loading unit.

The load measuring proving ring is attached to the load frame and placed in contact
with the consolidation cell without any eccentricity. A direct strain measuring
dial gauge is fitted to the cell. The specimen is then inundated with distilled
water and allowed to swell. The initial reading of the proving rings noted. The
swelling of the specimen with increasing volume is obtained in the strain measuring
load gauge. The specimen is kept at constant volume by adjusting the strain dial
gauge always at original reading. This adjustment is done at every 0.1mm of swell
or earlier. The swell pressure is then calculated from the difference between the
final and initial dial readings of the proving ring. Swell pressure (Kg / cm2) is
calculated as follows: SP = ((Final Dial Gauge reading – Initial Dial Gauge
reading) / Area of specimen) x Calibration factor of the proving ring.

3.10 One Dimensional Consolidation Test (IS: 2720 Part 15, 1992)
Consolidation test was done to evaluate compressibility behavior of stiff / hard
clayey silt. Procedure is described below. The empty consolidation ring W1 is
weighed. Representative sample for testing is extruded and cut off; care being
taken to ensure that the two plane faces of the resulting soil is care parallel to
each other. The soil sample thus obtained is trimmed flush with the top and bottom
edges of the ring. A sample of soil similar to that in the ring taken from the
trimmings is used for determining moisture content. The thickness of the specimen
(Ho) is measured and it is weighed immediately (W2) .The bottom porous stone is
centered on the base of the consolidation cell. The ring and specimen is placed
centrally on the bottom porous stone and then the loading cap is placed on top. The
consolidometer is placed in position in the loading device and suitably adjusted.
The dial gauge is then clamped into position for recording the relative movement
between the base of the consolidation cell and the loading cap. A seating pressure
of 0.0625 kg / cm2 is applied to the specimen. The consolidation cell is filled
with distilled water. The specimen is then allowed to reach equilibrium for
[Link] test is continued using a loading sequence, which would successively
apply stress of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 kg / cm2 etc on the soil specimen For
each loading increment ,after application of load, readings of the dial gauge are
taken using a time sequence such as 0, 0.25, 4, 3.25, 9, 12.25, 16, 2; 25.25, 36 ,
49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225 min etc. up to 24 hr 1.1/4, ½, 1, 2, 4, 8,
15, 30, 60 min, 2, 4, 8 and 24hr.
These time sequences facilitate plotting of thickness or change of thickness of
specimen against square root of time or against log time. The loading increment is
left until readings become more or less constant .On completion of the final
loading stage the specimen is unloaded by suitable pressure decrements. Dial gauge
readings are taken as necessary during each stage of unloading. On completion of
the decrement, the water is siphoned out of the cell and the consolido meter is
rapidly dismantled after release of the final load. The specimen, preferably with
in the ring, is wiped free of water, weighed (W3) and thereafter placed in the oven
for drying. Following drying, the specimen plus ring is reweighed (W4). E-log P
curve is drawn and consolidation parameters deduced.
