2.0 SUB SURFACE EXPLORATION

2.1 DRILLING:
Two boreholes of 150 mm diameter are drill up to the depth of max up to 6.0 meter where caving of the
borehole occurred, casing was used to keep the borehole stable. The work was in general accordance with
IS: 1892 – 2021.
2.2 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, then the
split spoon sampler is seated 15 cm with the blows of hammer falling through 750mm. 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. Thereafter the split spoon sampler is further driven by 30cm. The
number of blows required to drive each 15cm penetration is recorded. The first 15cm 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.

2.3 METHOD OF SAMPLING:

Sampler is coupled together with a sampler head to form a sampling assembly. The sampler heads provide
a non-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 [Link] sampler is then lowered inside the bore hole 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 [Link] 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.

2.3.1 DISTURBED SAMPLES:

In all boreholes, disturbed soil samples was taken at every 1.5 m interval and at significant change of
stratum (or as per specified). Soil from cutting edge of undisturbed samplers and from split spoon sampler
used for standard penetration tests was taken as disturbed samples. These samples were placed without
delay in adequately sealed polythene bags.

Disturbed Soil Sample from SPT

2.3.2 UNDISTURBED SAMPLES:
Undisturbed soil samples are collected in 100 mm diameter thin-walled sampler (Shelby tube) from the
borehole. The sampler used for the sampling had smooth surface and appropriate area ratio and cutting-
edge angle thereby minimizing disturbance of soil during sampling. Samples are logged and labelled
properly and transfer to the laboratory for further testing.

2.4 WATER TABLE:

Water table was not encountered during the sub soil exploration work carried out in the month of March-
2025.
Water level fluctuations due to seasonal variations, amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors were not
evident at the time of filed work. Trapped or "Perched" water could occur within low permeable strata.

3.A.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 110oC
for 24 hours. 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.A.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 IS sieve.
Hydrometer Analysis: 50 g of soil 75 mic. passing IS sieve was mixed with 33 g passing sodium hexa-
meta-phosphate and 7g sodium carbonate and soil suspension prepared. Suspension was made up to 1000
ml 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.A.3 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
(Part 5) 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 425 mic 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 16-26mm. The following relationship is used to evaluate liquid limit
Plastic Limit: About 20g of oven dried soil passing through 425 mic 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.
Plastic Index: PI = (0.73* Liquid limit – 20).

3.A.4 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 Veccume of 20mmhg & weighted as (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.A.5 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 1.25 mm/min is applied, till the
failure occurred within a period of 5-15 minutes or rill 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.A.6 Direct Shear Test (IS: 2720, Part 13, 1992)
Direct shear test is carried out using shear box with the specimens (60mm x 60mm). Specimen with plain
grid plate at the bottom of the specimen and plain grid plate at the top of the specimen is fitted into 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 the 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.

7.0 SAMPLE CALCULATION OF BEARING CAPACITY OF SHALLOW FOUNDATION

The determination of the net safe bearing capacity, qns, is done first on the basis of the shear failure criterion
after dividing the value of the net ultimate bearing capacity qnf , calculated as described below, by a
suitable factor of safety. The net soil pressure, q s , for a given permissible settlement is then calculated as
explained in the next section. The lower of the two values, qns and q s , thus determined is taken as the
allowable bearing capacity of the soil.
1.0 Shear Failure [Link] net ultimate bearing capacity qnf (t/m2) of a shallow foundation of
breadth B (m) and depth D (m) is given as per IS:6403-1981 (Sec.5.1.2) by the following equation :
qnf = c Nc sc dc Ic + q (Nq - 1) sq dq Iq + 0.5  B N s d I w
where c = cohesion (t/m2 )
q = effective surcharge (t/m 2 )
 = unit weight of subsoil (t/m 3 )
Nc ,N,Nq = bearing capacity factors, which are functions of  the angle of internal friction of the soil
sc ,sq ,s = shape factors
dc ,dq ,d  = depth factors related to cohesion, surcharge and density of subsoil respectively
Ic ,Iq, I = inclination factors
w = water table factor (= 0.5 to 1.0 ) depending on the depth, Dw of water table- vide Table below.
The bearing capacity factors (N’s) are functions of  the angle of internal friction of the soil.
Their values are found for general shear failure by referring to standard tables. If subsoil conditions are
such as to lead to local shear failure, the values of these factors are found for a reduced value of angle of
internal friction ( ’) given by the equation : tan ’ = 0.67 tan 
The value of cohesion is also reduced to c’ = 0.67 c.
The values of the other factors for usual conditions are as tabulated below :
sc = 1.3 1+0.2B/L 1 dc = 1+ 0.2 (Nf )0.5 D/ B Dw at G.L. Fou'[Link]

sq = 1.2 1+0.2B/L 1 dq =d 1 for f<10o w = 0.5 1

FOR sq.// O Rect. STRIP Ic ,Iq, I = 1 for vertical load these values is linear.

One example of calculation for a certain depth and width of a rectangular or square footing is given in the
Table A on the next page. Full submergence of the soil has been assumed. The safe bearing capacity, qns
has been obtained by dividing qnf by a safety factor, 3.0. The net safe bearing capacity for a footing of the
selected size and depth of footing is to be seen in its last column. Calculations of safe bearing capacities for
other depths and widths of footings are done similarly.

2.0 Settlement Criterion for Foundation on cohesive soil.

As per IS:8009(Part I)-1976, Sec. [Link], the settlement s (in mm) is given by the equation :
s = [1000 H Cc log (1 + p/ po ) ] / (1 + eo ) 
where H = thickness (in m) of the compressible layer
Cc = compression index of the soil
eo = initial void ratio at mid-height of compressible soil layer = its m/c ( m) x sp. Gravity
po = initial effective pressure at mid-height of the layer (t/m 2 )
p = pressure increment at the mid-height of the layer due to the foundation (t/m 2 ).
 correction factor
If there are different layers with different compression indices and void ratios, s is calculated for each one of these
and then added together to get the settlement.
The pressure increment at any plane due to the footing load may be calculated by assuming the dispersion of load at a
slope of 1 horizontal to 2 vertical. Hence the load applied over a width B of a foundation
(vide the Fig. below) is spread at a depth H/2 below it over a width (B + H/2 ).
A correction factor  0.80 is used as per IS Code to find the corrected settlement. If this value of corrected
s is within the permissible limit specified in the Code, the corresponding value of q ns is also the net allowable bearing
capacity qna. If not, trials give the desirued value of qna . One example of this settlement analysis is given below
the Table B in Sec. 3.
If Dw > (D+ 1.5 B/2), po = g (D+1.5 B/2) t/m2, otherwise, po = g Dw + ( g - 1) (D- Dw + H/2) t/m2

Dw = depth of water table below ground level .

D = depth of foundation
Dw B = breadth of foundation
H = 1.5 x B = thickness of compressible soil layer in the zone
D of influence of the loaded foundation.
B Breadth of the influence zone at the mid-plane of the
compressible layer, of thickness H = (B + H/2 ).
In case of a rectangular or square footing a similar
dispersion of load takes place along the other side of footing.

2.1 Calculation of allowable bearing capacity based on settlement criterion

The net soil pressure, qs ( t/m2 ) for a permissible settlement of 25 mm is give by Teng’s formula:
qs = 3.5 [N’’ – 3] [ (B + 0.3)/ 2 B ] 2 w’ Fd t/m2

where N’’ = corrected value of N from SPT

Fd = [1 + D/B] < or = 2 and

D, B and w’ are as defined before.

For a permissible settlement of S mm, the allowable bearing capacity

q’s = S qs /25
The corrected SPT N” values used in the calculations based on the above formula for different depths
below G.L. may be found from the recorded data.
The N” value used in any case is to be for the influence zone below the footing, which depends on its width.
