As part of flood risk mitigation works, the plant layout was shifted by CEIL from northern side to
south-west side of MPT to give way for the flood relief channel which called for additional sixty
five (65) boreholes and two (2) cross hole seismic tests. These were requisitioned by CEIL
through variation order no. DECO-MRX-CN-CT-0001-V0-02 dated 05 .July 2007. Thus a total of
174 boreholes were drilled in MPT area. Data and interpretative report of these 174 boreholes
was submitted to CEIL by FGTL.

Further eighteen (18) boreholes as detailed below were requisitioned by CEIL through variation
order no. DECO-MRX-CN-CT-0001-V0.;.03 dated 12 December 2007..

1. New well pad - 9 =1


2. Bridge Area =3
3. D/s Water Channel =2
4. Pipe Line near Water Channel =2
5. Railway Crossing =2
6. Operation Base Enlargement Area =3
7. Rageshwari Gas Field =5

A total of thirty nos (30) field Electrical Resistivity Tests (ERD as listed below were carried out
for designing earthing I cathodic protection system and determining corrosivity of subsoil.

1. MPT area =07


2. Thumbli Water Field =04
3. Oil Well pads = 14
4. Rageshwari Gas Field =05

This report encompasses the total geotechnical investigation work performed at the Mangala
Processing terminal area (MPT) to generate subsurface geological and engineering data to be
used for foundation design. This was accomplished by boring at one hundred and seventy four
(174) locations, sampling in soil and coring in rock wherever encountered, carrying out various
in-situ and laboratory tests in accordance with relevant ASTM Codes as specified. The laboratory
tests were carried out at our laboratory in Navi Mumbai, India.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work for the soil investigation project at MPT site includes the following:

• Borings at one hundred and seventy four (174) locations on land to termination depths
ranging from 15 m to 32 m below existing ground level.
• Visual inspection of the samples at site and recording their characteristics.
• Carrying out standard penetration tests (SPD at specified intervals.
• Collection of disturbed and undisturbed samples of soils.
• Collection of core samples of rocks, wherever encountered.
• Testing the soil/rock samples, thus collected, in the laboratory for their classification,

·• Carrying out Cross-hole seismic tests at two (2) locations under initial work order and
two (2) more locations under variation order three up to 20m depths.
• Carrying out two nos. (2) Soil Collapse Test.
• Preparation and submission of preliminary and subsequently the final report.

Four drilling rigs with accessories and other test equipments were mobilized to accomplish the
above work.

3.0 . FIELD INVESTIGATION

The field investigation carried out at MPT site included the following;

• Borings at one hundred and seventy four (174) locations on land to termination depths
ranging from 15 m to 32 m below existing ground level.
• Carrying out standard penetration tests.
• Collection of disturbed and undisturbed samples of soils encountered.
• Collection of core samples of rocks wherever encountered.
• Logging visually identifiable lithological and engineering characteristics of soil samples.
• Testing the soil/rock samples, thus collected, in the laboratory for their classification,
index and engineering properties.
• Carrying out field Electrical Resistivity Tests at seven (7) locations.

3.1 Drilling I Boring

The boreholes were positioned and their coordinates determined by using OmniSTAR 8300HP
DGPS.

The boring works were accomplished by deploying four skid mounted semi-hydraulic rig units.
Triplex type water pumps supported the rigs. Due to the extremely rugged terrain conditions and
presence of vast tracts of loose sand with sand dunes, it was very difficult to transport big rigs to
the area. Light rotary rigs were hence used for the boring and coring works. The borehole walls,
where weak, were supported by temporary steel casings. Standard Penetration Tests (SPD was
carried out.at specified intervals and disturbed bagged samples were obtained from SPT split
spoon sampler and shoe. Sampling frequency was generally 1m at the upper 3m and 1.50m
thereafter depending on strata variability. The boreholes were terminated on reaching the
requisite depths as per the termination criteria mentioned in contract. The location of boreholes,
trial pits and other tests is given in Plate 2 and detailed below in the Table-1.

It is understood that the finished grade level has been finalized at 170.500m w.r.t msl. The depth
of cut and fill with respect to borehole locations have been calculated and presented in Table 1
below.

3.2 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)

SPTs were carried out by using a split spoon sampler complete with a drive shoe and drive head
fitted with a non-return valve. The basis of the test consists of dropping of a hammer of mass
63.5 kg on to a drive head from a height of 760 mm. The number of such blows (N) necessary to
achieve a penetration of the split spoon sampler by 300 mm (after its penetration under gravity
and below the seating drive) is regarded as the penetration resistance. The blow counts for each
150 mm penetration were recorded. Small, disturbed samples of soil were obtained from the split
spoon sampler after completion of the tests.

The borehole records with visual lithologs, SPT 'N' values and laboratory test results are
enclosed in Appendix A on Plates A 1 thru plates A261.

3.3 Total Core Recovery (TCR), Solid Core Recovery (SCR), Rock Quality Designation (RQD}

Core samples of rock were obtained by diamond core drilling using tripple tube core barrel fitted
with diamond core bit. Fresh water was used as drilling fluid. Geologist inspected the core
samples at site and the various characteristics of rock were recorded.

Quantitative description of fracture state of rock masses are indicated using a number of indices
as measured from the borehole cores.

Total Core Recovery (TCR) is the percentage ratio of core recovered (whether solid, intact with
full diameter, or non-intact) to the total length of core run.

Solid Core Recovery (SCR) is the percentage ratio of solid core recovered to the total length of
the core run.

Rock Quality Designation (RQD) is a quantitative index based on core recovery procedure that
incorporates only those pieces of core 100mm or more in length. It is the total length of solid core

pieces, each greater than 100mm between natural fractures, expressed as a percentage of the
total length of core run. It is also a measure of drill core quality and it disregards the influence of
orientation, continuity, joint thickness and gauge.

The borehole records with visual lithologs, TCR, SCR, ROD values and laboratory test results
are enclosed in Appendix-A on Plates A1 thru Plates A459.

Purpose
The cross-hole test was performed to determine the various soil and rock dynamic parameters
at the proposed site. The test was conducted in general accordance with ASTM D- 4428.

Theory & Methodology:

The general principle of the cross-hole test is to establish the shear wave (S-wave) and
compression wave (P-wave) velocities of the soil and rock Layer at selected depths. The waves
are generated in an "impulse" borehole and are detected by the multi-directional geophone(s) in
"receiver" borehole(s) drilled at known distance from the impulse borehole. The wave fronts
detected by the geophone(s) are recorded on a signal enhancement seismograph. The travel
time of the generated P&S-wave is interpreted from the wave front recorded by the
seismograph. The travel time ·and the distance between the "impulse" and the "receiver"
borehole are used to calculate the P&S-wave velocities.

Test Layout:
The distance between the "impulse" and the "receiver" holes were 3.0m and .6.0m respectively
in two orthogonal directions. The impulse and the receiver holes were cased using heavy duty
PVC casing with bottom plug and the annular space between the borehole walls and the casing
were cement grouted up to the bottom.

Test Equipment:
The test-equipment~onsiStsOimilltl-cfiannel Smartseis R-24 seismograph of Geometries make,
a Bison reversible type pneumatically operated hammer to . generate energy, a three
dimensional geophone and battery. The seismograph is capable of storing and stacking the data
and using software it can pick up the arrival times of the P&S-waves. The bison hammer and the
geophone are fitted with inflatable rubber tubes allowing them to be fixed at the desired
elevation in the boreholes.

Test Intervals:

The P&S-wave measurements were made in the boreholes at every 1m depth up to maximum
depth of 20m below the ground level.

Procedure:

The test was performed at each test interval using the following procedures.

The hammer and the geophones were lowered to the test depth. The cables were marked at 1.0
m depth interval to ensure that the geophone and the hammer are at the same test depth. The
hammer was secured in this elevation by inflating the rubber tubes provided at the side of the
hammer using air pressure. Similarly the geophones were lowered in the receiver holes and
secured at the same elevation as that of hammer in the same manner. The test was started by
pulling the strike rod up with the help of a string and then allowing it to fall under its own weight.
Stacking enhanced the signals, which were achieved by repeating the process described above.
Striking at least five to ten times stacked the waves.

Initial calculations determining the P&S-waves were made in the field. The tests were repeated
a number of time until the first arrival of seismic waves corresponding to the known stratigraphy
was identified. The procedures were repeated at each test depth.

Subsequently the traces were examined again in the office to ensure proper identification of first
arrival of P-& S-waves.

Determination of Various Dynamic Soil Parameters


The recorded first arrivals of P-wave (tp) and to S-wave {ts) include the time required by the
"impulse" wave to travel through the medium. Table 3 summarizes the equations were used to
determine various parameters.

inner electrodes is measured. The current 'I' flowing into the earth produces an electric field
proportional to its density and to the resistivity of the soil. The voltage 'V' measured between the
inner electrodes is, therefore, proportional to this field. Consequently, the resistivity will be
proportional to the ratio of voltage and current.
If the depth of the burial of the electrodes in the ground is negligible compared to the spacing
between the electrodes, the soil resistivity is given as:
v

p = 2 .1t.
I

Resistivity of the soil in Ohm-meter


Spacing between electrodes in meter
Voltage difference between two inner electrodes in volts
Current flowing through two outer electrodes in amperes

Earth testers normally used for the above purpose comprise the current source and voltmeter in
a single instrument and directly read the resistivity ofthe soil. Such an instrument is known as
the four terminal Meggar. Using such Meggar for measurement, above formula becomes:

p = 2 .1t. S. R

Where,
R = Meggar readings in Ohms

5.0 GEOLOGY

5.1 Geology of the Region

The 8armer basin in Western Rajasthan is a narrow north-south trending graben comprising
sediments of Middle Jurassic to Lower Eocene age. It originated due to the break up of Indian
craton in the late Cretaceous - early Paleocene that led to the formation of the Cambay rift and
the constituent basins. 8armer basin has been classified in three categories pre-rift, syn-rift and
post-rift.

The pre-rift sediments constitute siliceous Randha formation, calcareous 8irmania formation and
Lathi formation. These sediments are deposited on a late Proteroric basement of Malani igneous
suite.

The syn-rift formation includes 8armer formation and Fatehgarh formation. 8armer formation
comprises poorly cemented sandstone and intra formational conglomerate and represents
alluvial fan environment. Fatehgarh formation is mixed sand, mud and phosphorite formation
deposited on an intertidal environment.

The post-rift sediments deposited as a thickening and coarsening - upward claystone -siltstone -
sandstone cycle. They include Akli formation and Kapurdi formation. They are of Paleocene to
Eocene age. Overlying Akli and Kapurdi formations is a grit and gravel bed of Miocene age.

5.2 Sand Dunes

The desert of Rajasthan in India is the easternmost extension of the vast Sahara- Arabian
deserts. The desert is dominated by the southwest monsoon, which controls both the wind
vector and the vegetation cover. The configuration of atmospheric dynamics and sinking air
masses in the region inhibit in this region despite the fact that considerable precipitable moisture
exist in the atmosphere. Minor changes in the atmospheric circulation patterns result in amplified
changes in the rainfall, the winds and the Aeolian dynamism. The region is dominated by
Aeolian bed forms of different dimensions including sand dunes. The desert in Rajasthan is
located in between the foothills of the Aravalli ranges in the east and the international borders
with Pakistan in the west. Further west in Pakistan, the desert extends to the fertile alluvial
plains of the Indus.

The desert in Rajasthan is the result of a delicately balanced relationship between the strength
and the duration of wind, sediment supply, rain fall vegetation covers and land surface
conditions. The naturally stabilized and free forming high sand dunes, dunes formed around
major obstacles, as well as the thick Aeolian sand sheets deposits can be considered as the best
keepers of sufficiently long records. The stratigraphy of the non-eccentric high sand with copious
vegetation suggests several episodes of dune building activities, separated by periods of
landscape stability.

5.3 Aeolian Process and Sand Dunes

Aeolian activity .in this area is mainly restricted to the periods of summer winds associated with
the southwest monsoon. The northeastern wind of winter months plays only a minor role in
Aeolian activity. Sand and dust raising winds begins from March onwards when the surface is
dry and maximum wind speed is reached during June. May and July are also very windy. Since,
this is also the periods when much of the ground flora is dry; the environment is suitable for
Aeolian activities.

The Mangala Processing Terminal area is surrounded by different kinds of sand dunes, which
includes compound parabolic dune, longitudinal parabolic dune, longitudinal dune, and
transverse dunes. The most dunes are gullied and sparsely vegetated, vegetation gradually
becoming less frequent on crust zone and it is prominent over sloping surface. The
morphological features of the dunes led to differentiation between dunes of the old system and
new system. The dunes of the old system are mostly the linear, parabolic, and transverse and
are the products of past changes in climate.

The broad classification of sand dunes includes active, dormant and relict dunes. The active
dunes are those that are being formed under the present climate, dormant dunes are the old
dunes on which sand transport is now almost absent or very low, but which gets periodically
reactivated. On the basis of observation, the sand dunes in the area around Mangala Processing
Terminal lie within dormant category but with a slightly mobile crest. The mobility of the crest
appears to be very low and localized.

6.0 GROUND WATER

Groundwater table was not encountered in any of the boreholes in MPT area. Standpipe
piezometers were installed in six boreholes to monitor the ground water level. The readings are

(": Stattc Water Level below £GL m m)

The water levels encountered in the three piezometers above appear to be remnant of drilling
water. No groundwater table at shallow depth (up to 20m below EGL) has been reported in the
area. It was gathered from the district groundwater department that the static water level in an
existing bore well of the government in MPT area, supplying water to the villagers, is at 48m
below EGL which gets depressed to 60m below EGL in peak summer. Thus, under normal
circumstances, no effect of ground water is expected on the proposed foundations at this site.

7.0 LOCATION OF BEDROCK OR SUITABLE FOUNDATION MATERIAL

The suitable foundation stratum at this site is encountered at shallow depths. Bed rock was
encountered at depths varying from 3m to 21m in part of the area investigated. Details are
furnished in borehole logs; sections and in Appendix A on PlateA273.

8.0 POTENTIAL FOR SOIL LIQUEFACTION

Barmer is situated in Zone Ill (IS: 1893-2002- Part 1). Liquefaction Potential of Soil has been
assessed based on SPT N values and the procedure described in IS: 1893-2002 (Part 1). It is
mentioned in Table 1, IS: 1893-2002 (Part 1), note 4 that for seismic Zone Ill, desirable corrected
SPT N value for stratification up to 5m depth should be 15 and for depth greater than 10m should
be 25. The SPT N values in the MPT area of the current investigation are generally greater than
15 from the top 1m onward and hence liquefaction of soil is not expected below foundation
depth.

9.0 POTENTIAL FOR GROUND RUPTURE

No fault or major structural disturbance has been reported at shallow depth in the area studied.
The ground surface up to 0.3m depth is generally covered by loose sand. Dense to very dense
sand occurs to a depth of 15-16m below ground surface. The potential for ground rupture in this
area is thus considered low.

10.0. SLOPE INSTABILITIES AND LANDSLIDES

The existing sand dunes are mostly stable and hence slopes instability and landslides are not
expected in dune areas unless these are disturbed by cutting.

11.0 POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING

During year 2006 monsoon it was reported that the area was inundated by flash flood, signs of
which are found in the slope cuts and temporary channels in the MPT area. Although this was
one of the. first recorded instances in 100 years, occurrence of such a heavy flood in the area
signifies the future potential of flood. However a much larger scale geomorphological and
hydrological study is required to assess the flooding potential.

12.0 COLLAPSE POTENTIAL

Two field tests were performed as per tender specification no. 6.12. Results are presented in
Appendix A on PlateA131 thru A132. Increase in settlement under constant pressure of200 kPa
was 3mm and 7.5mm respectively. Field test was performed on 0.3 m square plate. Considering
depth of influence to be 0.6m (twice width of footing), collapse index as per ASTM D 5333 is
calculated below;

Test 1: Collapse Index= 0.5


Test 2: Collapse Index= 1.25

Thus based on collapse index the stratum at the test locations can be considered to have "slight"
collapse potential. This quantum of settlement on wetting over the specified time is considered to
be densification as the formation is generally poorly graded fine sand with little silt. The collapse
potential of the soil at this site is thus considered low.

13.0 SAND DUNE STABILITY

· The existing sand dune at the western part of the MPT area is reported to be stable. This is
signified by tbe presence of dense sands and rock at reasonably shallow depth in its core. No
evidence of its shifting has been reported.

14.0 SUBSIDENCE

No cavities or underground activities have been found in the area up to the depth explored. The
possibility of surface subsidence is hence considered minimal.

15.0 SEISMICITY OF THE SITE

Barmer is situated in Zone Ill (IS: 1893-2002 - Part 1). As per IS: 1893-2005 Part 4 table 1 the
subsoil falls in "Soil classification type II". The importance factors for various structures can be
determined from Table 2 IS: 1893-2005 Part 4 depending on soil classification and type of
structure. Zone factor ·z• according to Annex E (Page 35) for seismic Zone Ill will be 0.16 (Low
Seismic Intensity- Table 2 IS: 1893-2005).

16.0 GROUND CONDITIONS

16.1 Surface Condition .

As described earlier the area investigated for MPT falls in a desert and is typically covered with
poorly graded loose fine slightly silty sand. The ground topography within the area shows the
presence of a moderately high sand dune at the western I north western part of the plot. Rest of
the plot surface is generally flat. Occasional arid bushes are seen on the plain part of the area
where as the arid vegetation is relatively denser on the sand dune.

16.2 Sub-Surface Condition

The sub-surface stratification and the soil I rock types encountered at this site have been
described in detail in the borehole records presented on Appendix A. A generalized assessment
has been made on the sub-surface stratigraphy and ground conditions based on the boreholes
drilled, samples collected and laboratory test results. The inferences made are relevant up to the
maximum depth of the boreholes.

In general, the subsoil at the MPT site comprises of sand which is loose at the very top and
medium to very dense thereafter followed by highly to moderately weathered sandstones,
conglomerates marl up to the maximum depth of 32m investigated. The generalized subsurface
profile is presented in Table 6 below.

17.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SITE


PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK FACILITIES

17.1 Clearing and Grubbing of Top Soil

The topsoil thickness ranges from 20 to 30 em and occasionally up to 50 em. It is recommended


to remove the top soil for depth of 30cm only in areas where structures are located {as needed
basis). Resulting sub-grade shall be compacted to minimum 85% relative density (or 98%
maximum dry density) by 8 Ton to 10 Ton vibratory roller.

17.2 Recommendation forSubgrade Preparation

Prior to placement of backfill, subgrade shall be compacted to minimum 85% relative density {or
98% of maximum dry density) by 8 Ton to 10 Ton vibratory roller. Laboratory values of maximum
3 3
and minimum densities are around 16.85 kN/m and 14.47 kN/m respectively (Refer Plate 841).
Thus, expected field density after compaction shall be around 16.45 kN/m 3 (i.e. 98% of maximum
dry density or 85% relative density). Scarification of subgrade is not required.

The subsoil is poorly graded. Such stratum .is difficult to compact by rollers. "Wave" formation
takes place when roller is used to compact. Most common method is to flood the area with water
at least two times to achieve the desired compaction. However this method is applicable in
confined conditions. When ever such stratum is compacted in unconfined state, it is common
practice to use vibratory roller. The plan area to be compacted shall be about 1m wider than the
actual plan area on all the sides. On completion of compaction the exact area is demarcated and
extra area. r~ear the edge is scarified. {It is assumed that the area near edge is in unconfined
state and hence not properly compacted). This will ensure that the resulting area is adequately
compacted.

It is understood that significant quantity of dune sand is available; hence existing excavated soil
can be reused as fill material for backfilling below the foundation, grade slabs or road.

The possible use of geogrids or geosynthetics to mobilize additional shear resistance in the
subgrade was examined. Subgrade consists of sand with SPT 'N' exceeding 15; hence
geosynthetics are not required to mobiles shear resistance in the subgrade.

Sub-soil consists of sand with traces of silt. This stratum is non expansive and non collapsible.

Ground water table has not been recorded in the boreholes at this site. It is expected that depth
of foundations or excavation for underground utilities will not exceed 3m hence temporary
drainage facilities are not anticipated. However permanent drainage system shall be provided
around individual facilities to channelise rain I flood water.

As explained above ground water table has not been encountered up to the depth investigated in
this area. Hence no effect of ground water on earth work is expected.

17.3 Recommendations for Excavation and Backfilling

At present there are no facilities or structures at the site. Substratum is sandy. Temporary
unshored slopes are suggested to be kept at 1M to 2(H) for maximum depth of excavation of
2m. Maximum permanent unshored slopes are suggested to be maintained at 1(V) to 3(H). In
case sufficient space is not available or steeper slopes are required slope protection measures
such as use of RCC retaining wall or flexible wall made of gabions shall be used. Considering
that the slopes is maintained at 1 (V) to 3 (H), it is expected that up to fill thickness of 4.0m
benching will not be required.

In case of filled areas with steeper slopes and thickness of backfill exceeding 2m use of soil
reinforcement such as geogrids with either concrete facia or flexible facia of gabions, wrap
around system can be considered.

In case required, it is suggested that to assist movement of trucks during backfilling about
150mm thick quarry spoil or similar material may be placed on top of backfilled Layer. Use of this .
Layer will not alter recommended bearing capacity values.

As explained (Section 6.0) above ground water is not expected within the depth of excavation for
foundations. Hence dewatering will not be required.

17.4 Recommendations for Selection and Location of Various Backfill Materials

Excavated sand can be used as fill material to raise the ground level. The subsoil is poorly
graded. It shall be compacted to minimum 85% relative density by using vibratory roller.

Impervious day was not encountered at shallow depth within the investigated area. In case clay
is used as containment liner it will have to be brought from a borrow area. Alternatively,
geomembrane can be used as containment liner for ponds and stockpiles.

Hard boulders are normally used as rip rap material. Such material was not encountered at
shallow depth within the investigated area. Alternatively, geocells or coir fabric can be used as
rip rap. Advantages of coir fabric are it deteriorates within one to two years but its porous ·
structure allows for seeds of plants and weeds to germinate. Coir fabric can be treated for longer
life span. The roots of plants or weeds hold the subsoil avoiding erosion.

It is expected that excavation shall be performed using truck mounted equipments. No difficulties
are expected for mechanized excavations. Due care should be taken to maintain the specified
slopes.

17.5 Recommendations for Placing Backfill Material

The excavated sand from the site area can be used to raise the grade.

Frequency of backfill material quality control:

• Particle Size Distribution tests to be conducted: one test at change of borrow area or
3
every 100,000m .

• Field density: One test for every 400 m2 for each loose lift thickness. This can be
conducted by conventional Sand Replacement Method or by Nuclear Density Method.
• Backfill shall not be compacted with water on the surface.
• Compaction shall be in loose lifts of 45cm each in case heavy mechanical vibratory roller
(8 Ton to 10 Ton)
• Compaction control can be checked by conducting Static Cone Penetration Test. It is
common practice to consider that the required compaction (85% relative density) is
achieved if minimum cone resistance is 25 MPa. However it is recommended to perform
field trails on a trail plot to confirm this value.
• It is always ideal to prepare a test section to determine number of passes of roller so that
required compaction is attained.
• Since stock piles are temporary structures steeper slopes of 1M to 1.5(H) can be used.

17.6 Suitability of Excavated Soil

As explained in Section 17.4 and Section 17.5 the excavated sand material can be used as fill.

17.7 Recommendations for Waste, Shrinkage and Bulking

Stratum is fine sand, hence in order to avoid loss during transport it is recommended to cover it
with tarpaulin or suitable sheets. Shrinkage and bulking is not expected to happen.

17.8 Recommendations for Erosion Protection

As explained in Section 17.4 above riprap consisting of stones or geo-cells or coirfabric can be
used for erosion protection. In case it is required to steepen the slope, measures such as
providing anchors for natural slopes or using reinforced earth technology for new slopes or
providing RCC retaining walls can be used.

product "the soil mass is permanently stable, water repellant road surface similar to rigid
pavemenf'. Discussion with manufacturer or supplier may be needed to assess effectiveness as
erosion protection in sandy area.

17.9 Recommendation for post development

It is expected that most of the open area within complex will be covered. Local plants shall be
used to cover remaining open areas. Since the exposed area will be sandy, bitumen can be
sprayed to stabilize the surface.

17.10 Third Party Quality Control

The excavation and backfilling operation involves large quantity of earth. It is recommended that
a qualified Geotechnical Engineer I Company is appointed to provide site monitoring. This
"Quality Assurance• will be independent from the quality control provided by the contractor and
shall be considered as "Third Party Quality Assurance".

18.0 RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING DESIGN OF UNDERGROUND FACILITIES

18.1 Underground Electrical Facilities

18.1.1 Recommendation for Burial of Underground lines


):-
Minimum burial depth of the electrical cables will depend on the factors such as sloughing of the
sides during excavation for placement, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity etc. Minimum
depth from geotechnical point of view will be 50cm. Special bedding is not required. Excavated
surface shall be compacted with plate compactor. No slope failure was noticed in the test
trenches up to 0.5m depth at this site for a limited period of 3 days. Manufacturers of the cables
generally provide their recommendations regarding bedding, depth of burial etc. suitable for their
product.

18.1.2 Soil electrical resistivity

Referring to the tests performed at all the locations at this site, the resistivity 140 0-m minimum
and 690 0-m maximum. The subsoil, hence, can be considered as "Progressive Corrosive".

18.2 Underground piping

18.2.1 Recommendation for design of Underground Piping

Minimum· burial of the piping will depend on the factors such as sloughing of the sides during
excavation for placement, thermal conductivity, flow whether gravity or under pressure etc.
Minimum depth from geotechnical point of view will be 50cm. Special bedding is not required.
Excavated surface shall be compacted with plate compactor.

18.2.2 Trench Design

In case the pipes are placed in trench wall of the trench shall be properly designed considering at
rest condition of the surroundings in addition to surcharge loading (such as vehicular loads).
Unshored trench walls are expected to remain stable for a limited period only.

18.2.3 Corrosive effect of soil on carbon steel

Corrosive effect is evaluated based on results of electrical resistivity values. As mentioned in


18.1.2 subsoil can be considered as "Progressive Corrosive".

18.2.4 Recommendations regarding possibility of harmful sulphate action

Chemical tests were performed on soil samples. Refer section 19.1.1 for details.

18.3 Allowable bearing capacities for thrust blocks

The Sulphate content places the concrete requirements of substructures in Class 1 as per IS:
456-2000 which indicates use of Ordinary Portland Cement or Portland Slag Cement or Portland
Pozzolana Cement. The requirements for dense fully compacted concrete made with aggregates
complying with IS: 383-1970 specifies a minimum cement content of 280 kg/m 3 and Maximum
free water: cement ratio of 0.55. The pH values are of near-neutral condition and are not
. expected to have significant bearing on concrete.

The values of Sulphates, Chlorides and pH of soils are summarized in Appendix-8 on Plate 81
thru 835.

19.1.2 Recommendation for most suitable foundations

A suitable foundation for any structure must satisfy two basic independent criteria with respect to
the underlying foundation soils. First, the foundation must have an adequate factor of safety
against exceeding the bearing capacity of the foundation soils. Second, the vertical movements
of the foundation due to settlement or swelling of the foundation soils must be within tolerable
limits for the structure. The value of bearing pressure that satisfies both the above criteria is
normally recommended for design.

It has also been found at this site that some structures lay in areas where due to the present
topographic condition, both cutting as well as filling will be involved. In such areas we have
indicated two separate bearing capacity values for cutting and filling areas. However, the
designer may use lower of the two values for a specific structure for design convenience, if
deemed fit.

For footings placed at less than 1.0m below grade level the passive resistance provided by soil
shall not be considered for resisting lateral loads irrespective of the surface soil being erodable
or non-erodable. Following two (2) cases have been analyzed;

Case I Depth of foundation at 1m and surface soil is erodable type

Assuming top 50cm will be eroded during the life of structure passive resistance
provided by the soil shall be considered for resisting lateral loads only for a depth of
50cm.

Case II Depth of foundation 1m and surface soil is non erodable type

Passive resistance provided by the soil can be considered for resisting lateral loads.
Typically for a footing of having 1 sq.m plan area the non erodable area should be
2.5sq.m (Refer Drawing 3 in section on engineering illustration for typical sketch showing .
the width of non-erodable soil from the edge of footing). Table on drawing 3 shows the

Considering the ground conditions existing at this site, most structures indicated, may not require
pile foundation. However pile foundation alternatives have also. been discussed only for piles
installed in existing subsoil and no backfill is considered.

for design of pile capacities. Although, piles may not be used for any structures, calculation
procedures are in partial fulfillments of the requirements of contract specifications. Considering
the soil conditions we have developed pile capacity curves for 400mm to 800mm diameter Bored·
cast in place piles. The pile capacities are calculated based on IS: 2911 (Part 1 I Sec 2} and pile
capacity curves are presented in Section on Engineering Illustrations.

The values of pile capacities in compression (FOS=Z.5), tension (FOS=2.5) and lateral directions
(Allowable deflection of 6mm under service condition and 8mm under transient condition). Refer
section 28.1, 28.2 and pile capacity curves in engineering illustration for the values of pile
capacity.

29.0 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS

· Bearing capacities are calculated for shear failure and settlement consideration point of view.

IS 1904 ~ 1986, recommends allowable value of 50mm as total maximum settlement due to
structural load for isolated foundations and 75mm for raft foundation.

The bearing capacity calculations have been carried out taking into account data obtained from
all the boreholes and other tests conducted in the facility area. Due to the granular nature of
strata encountered, the parameter which influences the bearing capacity in this area is the angle
of internal friction. The stratum encountered at the "finished grade level" is very dense and SPT
"N" values encountered indicate the ~~!ue of angle of internal friction to be in the range of 38° to
40°. A practicable bearing capacity value has been recommended to be adopted for the design
of the shallow foundations in this area. The soil profile adopted for design calculation is
presented in Table 22.

Bearing capacity recommendations have been provided for the areas where filling is required to
be carried out to achieve the "finished grade level" of 170.500m. In these areas the calculations
have been made assuming that a 4.0m hE!ight of backfill will be placed. The soil profile adopted
for design calculation is presented in Table 23.

29.1 Bearing Capacity based on Shear Strength Criteria

For shallow foundations, the footing size, orientation and position relative to the ground surface
have an influence on the bearing capacity. Based on IS: 6403-1981 the net ultimate bearing
· capacity for shear failure in soil strata is determined from the following relationship:

Osate= Ou11 I FOS

29.2 Expected Load-Settlement Curves

Settlement is calculated by Sch mertmann' s method rRef 'Foundation Engineering Handbook" by Hsai-Yang

Fang).

The settlement of the shallow spread footings with influence depth within the top sand strata as
given in the soil model, have been calculated using the Schmertmann's method. The immediate
settlement S; is given by ttie equation:
n
S; = c1 . c2. L\q • 2: (lz I E;) • L\Z;
i=1
Where,
s; = immediate settlement
L\q = net load intensity at the foundation depth
lz =strain influence factor from 2B- 0.6 distribution
L\Z; = thickness of various Layers, i
E; =Young modulus at the middle of ilh Layer of thickness L\Z;
c1 =1. 0.5 * (crvof L\q) ~ 0.5
cr vo =effective in-situ overburden stress at the foundation depth
C2 = 1 + 0.2 *log (tl 0.1)

The minimum of the bearing capacities calculated from the shear failure criteria and settlement
criteria is recommended as the net allowable bearing pressure.

The permissible differential settlements for raft foundations as per IS: 1904:1986 is 0.002*L and
for water and oil tanks is 0.0015*L, (where L denotes the length of deflected part of raft). The
permissible angular distortion is 1/500 for raft foundations and 1/666 for water and oil tanks.

Recommended Net Allowable Bearing Pressure for various sizes and shape of foundation are
presented in Table 25.0 to 25.5 and Table 26.0 to 26.3.

29.3 Impact of adjacent foundation on allowable bearing pressure

Net allowable bearing pressures and settlement estimates are based on the assumption that
foundation soils underlying a footing are not significantly affected by adjacent footings. The
minimum lateral distance between adjacent individual spread footings bearing at the same grade
on soil should be B/2, where B is the footing width or diameter of the larger footing. For strip
footings of width B, the minimum lateral separation distance should be no less than B. Where
lateral spacing is less than recommended, the stress distribution beneath adjacent footings
should be analyzed. Typically, footings spaced between B/2 and B/5 apart may experience 10 to
20 percent higher settlement.

It is mandatory to maintain clear spacing of footings mainly owing. to interference of interacting


stress fields. In case the total plan area of the footing exceeds 50% ·Of the plan area of the
building it is common practice to provide raft foundation.

29.4 Interaction of foundation supported at different depths

Refer IS Code IS: 1904 ·1978, Section 9.7, for the recommendations of foundation at different
levels. It states that;

When the ground. surface adjacent to sloping ground or where the bottoms of the footings of a
structure are at different levels or at levels different from those of the footings of adjoining
structures, the depth of the footings shall be such that the difference in footing elevations shall be
' -
subject to the following limitations:
'

a) When the ground surface slopes downward adjacent to a footing the sloping surface shall not
encroach upon the frustum of bearing material under the footing having sides which make an
angle with the horizontal of 60° for rock and 30° for soil and the horizontal distance from the
lower edge of the footing to the sloping surface shall be at least 60cm for rock and 90cm for soil.

b) In the case of footings in granular soil, a line drawn between the lower adjacent edges of
adjacent footings shall not have a steeper slope than two horizontal to one vertical.

Drawing 1 illustrates effect of interaction of foundation supported at different depths as per IS


1904 Page 12, is shown in section on engineering illustration.

29.6 Recommendation for heated, interior support slabs at grade including possible settlement
and proposed sub base

The Curves for various sizes of slab on grade are given in Section on engineering illustrations.
The sub grade shall be compacted to 85% of relative density. When slabs are placed on grade it
is mandatory to provide thickened edges or provide rubble soling along the edges to avoid edge
shear failure.

30.0 UNDERGROUND RETAINING AND FOUNDATION WALLS

Net safe bearing capacity from shear failure criteria is tabulated in Section on Engineering
Illustrations. The coefficients of lateral earth pressures are tabulated in Section 21.0. The
surrounding backfill shall be free draining with weep holes in the retaining walls, wherever
possible.

30.1 Recommendation for the design of retaining Walls

The coefficients of lateral earth pressures are tabulated in Section 21.0.

31.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOT SULPHUR PIT FOUNDATION DESIGN

Recommendations required for design of foundation system such as bearing capacity values,
lateral pressure on walls can be found in section on engineering analysis.

32.0 ANCHOR BLOCK FOUNDATIONS

It is expected that anchor blocks are required for resisting uplift forces at flare stack. Ultimate
uplift capacities of anchor blocks have been calculated and the results provided in Section 29.5.

32.1 Recommendations for the design of anchor block foundation

Allowable bearing capacity and allowable uplift capacities is tabulated in Section 29.1 and 29.5
'I
respectively.

33.0 DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR VARYING DEPTHS

Design parameters and anticipated settlements are tabulated in Section 29.1 and on Section on
Engineering Illustrations.

34.0 TANK PADS AND CONTAINMENT AREAS

It is common practice that steel storage tanks up to 12m diameter are founded on Ring Beam or
Strip (ring wall) type foundation while steel storage tanks with diameter exceeding 12m are
founded on pad type foundation (preferred). In case for tanks with diameter exceeding 12m if
roof is subjected internal uplift forces suitable dead man type anchors can be provided around
the tank periphery.

34.1 Recommendation for design of tank pads

It is essential to provide about 60 em thick boulder soling below the tank edges. This will avoid
edge shear failure at the tank periphery.

34.2 Recommendations for design of containment areas

Refer to Section 17.2 for subgrade preparation. Impervious clay was not encountered at shallow
depth within the investigated area. In case clay is used as containment liner it will have to be
brought from a borrow area. Alternatively, geomembranes can be used as containment liner for
ponds and stockpiles. Manufacturer's recommendations of geomembranes for placing, storing
and handling is suggested to be followed.

As recommended in section 17.3 maximum safe containment dyke slope shall be 101): 3(H). In
case steeper slope is required due to space limitation RCC retaining wall for entire or partial
height as may be suitable can be considered .
. '
34.3 Expected short term and long term settlement at tank centre and edge

The subsoils encountered at this site are prE:ldominantly granular in nature. In this type of soils,
90% to 95% of the total settlement is expected to be immediate settlement. Significant long term
settlements are not expected. For steel storage tanks most of the settlement will take place
during hydro testing and expected settlement during service condition is negligible.

34.4 Expected differential settlement between tank centre and edge

It is expected that the settlement of centre will be twice that at the edge of the tanks.

A. Tanks on Ring Beam or Strip foundation

IS 1904:1986 recommends the following values,

Total permissible settlement : 50mm


Differential settlement : 0.0015 L (L denotes the length of deflected part of the Ring Beam or Strip}
Angular distortion : 1/666

B. Tanks on pad foundation

With reference to Naval Doc Manual DM 7 or Foundation Engineering Handbook Second Edition
Edited by Hsai-Yang Fang, tolerable differential settlement along the periphery shall not exceed
1/300.

35.0 ROAD, PAVED AREAS, PARKING FACILITIES

36.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EROSION PROTECTION

As explained in Section 6.4 above riprap consisting of stones or geocells or coir fabric can be
used for erosion protection. Coir is useful in situations where vegetation will take longer to
establish while jute is useful in low rain fall areas because it absorbs more moisture. In case the
· slope is required to be steepened, measures such as providing anchors for natural slopes or
using reinforced earth technology for new slopes can be used.

Several industrial products exist in the market. One of the manufactured (patented) products is
"GARMAT". It consists oftop and bottom Layer of flexible non-biodegradable net and a middle
Layer of biodegradable mulch material which provides high level of protection during initial period
for the required for the growth of vegetation. It also promotes growth of vegetation by retaining
moisture and also conditioning of soil. The synthetic net enhances the effectiveness of
vegetation in short term as well as long term.

Other similar products are "Terram trimmer or Terram erocell". Since these products are
manufactured and patented it is not possible to provide uniform specifications. Also use of these
materials is site specific hence these can be finalized once basic engineering is complete and
expected slopes to be retained are known. Manufactures can be contacted for details.

Typical specifications of ''heavy" jute geotextile are as follows


Weight : 730gsm
Width : 122cm
Threads : (main and cross direction) 7 x 7
Thickness : 6mm
Strength (KN/m) in main and cross directions: 12 x 12
Coverage(%) : 60

37.0 SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM DESIGN


Recommended capacities and sizes of septic tanks for housing colonies according to IS 2470
