1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This report is prepared for the design of Multipurpose Building and Haat Bazaar Project,
Purchaudi at Baitadi as per the agreement between GRID Consult Pvt. Ltd. and Asia Foundation
Pvt. Ltd., Mid Baneshwor, Kathmandu. Asia Foundation Pvt. Ltd. has taken responsibility for the
soil investigation activity for the project as described above.
2. SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
The scope of work includes the following:
Mobilizing necessary plant, equipments and personnel to the project site, setting up the
equipment, shifting of the equipment from one test location to another location.
Making 100 mm nominal diameter bore holes each of 12.0 m depth at one specified
locations using suitable approved method of boring.
Conducting standard penetration tests in the bore holes at 1.50 m interval in depth & at
every change of strata, whichever is earlier.
Collecting undisturbed soil samples from bore holes at 3.00 m interval in depth (if
possible for Undisturbed sampling) or at every change of strata, whichever is earlier.
Collecting disturbed soil samples from bore holes at regular interval and at every
identifiable change of strata to supplement the boring records.
Recording the depth of ground water table in all the bore holes if observed up to the depth
of exploration during boring work as per specifications.
Conducting the laboratory tests on selected disturbed / undisturbed soil samples collected
from various bore holes.
Preparation and submission of reports.

Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT): It consists of driving a cone by blows of hammers.
The number of blows for driving the cone through a specified distance is a measure of the
dynamic cone resistance. Dynamic Cone Penetration test are performed by a 50 mm cone. The
method for DCPT is similar to that of SPT. First of all the cone is driven 100 mm into the soil at
the bottom of the bore hole. It is then driven further 200 mm and the number of blows (Ncbr
values) required to drive this distance is recorded.
The result i.e., Nc values first corrected to the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) value (N) and that
provides and estimation of degree of compaction of soil strata, values of angles of internal friction
() and allowable bearing capacity. The dynamic cone resistance is correlated with the SPT (N) as
given below.
Nc = 1.5 N for depth up to 3 m
= 1.75 N for depth 3 to 6 m
= 2 N for depth greater than 6 m
3.2 Sampling
(i) Disturbed Sample:
Disturbed samples were collected from the split spoon after conducting SPT. Before any sample
was taken, the borehole was cleaned up of loose disturbed soil deposited during boring operation.
The samples which were obtained from bailer and in the SPT tube were preserved as
representative disturbed samples for finding out index properties. The samples thus obtained were
placed in airtight double plastic bags, labeled properly for identification and later transported to
the lab for analysis.

scope of the work, visual examination was performed to find the depth. Ground Water Table
(GWT) was not observed during the drilling, which is mentioned in the bore logs.
4. LABORATORY TESTS
The laboratory tests were conducted on selected representative disturbed and undisturbed samples
collected in core boxes, transported to lab in Mid Baneshwor, Kathmandu. All of the tests were
conducted confirming to specifications as per IS codes. The following tests were to be conducted:

Young’s et al (1997) for subduction zones for bed rock was used in development of seismic
hazard map of Nepal.
When fine or medium, saturated, loose sand deposit is subjected to a sudden shock (generated by
an earthquake) the mass will densify and consolidate or temporarily liquefy. This phenomenon is
termed 'Liquefaction'. Pore-water pressures within such layers increase as the soils are cyclically
loaded, resulting in a decrease in vertical effective stress and shear strength. If the shear strength
drops below the applied cyclic shear loadings, the layer is expected to transition to a semi fluid
state until the excess pore-water pressure dissipates. When liquefaction takes place in a particular
soil then the bearing capacity of the soil disappears and the structure built on it gets tilts or even
sinks..The past big earthquakes, have shown that saturated sandy soils in a loose to medium dense
condition were liquefied during earthquakes varying in magnitude from 5.5 to 8.5 (Richter scale)
and epicenter distance from several miles to hundreds of miles.
Analysis of Liquefaction
The stress-based approach for evaluating the potential for liquefaction triggering, initiated by
Seed and Idriss (1967), compares the earthquake-induced cyclic stress ratios (CSR) with the
cyclic resistance ratios (CRR) of the soil. The soil's CRR is usually correlated to an in-situ
parameter SPT blow count.

particular depth in the subsurface, it does not show the degree of liquefaction severity at a
liquefaction-prone site. Iwasaki et al. (1978) proposed liquefaction potential index (LPI) to
overcome this limitation of Factor of Safety (FS). Liquefaction potential index (LPI) provides an
integration of liquefaction potential over the depth of a soil profile and predicts the performance
of the whole soil column as opposed to a single soil layer at particular depth and depends on the
magnitude of the peak horizontal ground acceleration (Luna and Frost, 1998). LPI combines
depth, thickness, and factor of safety against liquefaction (FS) of soil layers and predicts the
potential of liquefaction to cause damage at the surface level at the site of interest.
LPI at a site is computed by integrating the factors of safety (FS) along the soil column up to 20
m depth. A weighting function is added to give more weight to the layers closer to the ground
surface. The liquefaction potential index (LPI) proposed by Iwasaki et al. (1978, 1982) is
expressed as follows:
where z is depth of the midpoint of the soil layer (0 to 20 m) and dz is differential increment of
depth. The weighting factor, w(z), and the severity factor, F (z), are calculated as per the
following expressions:
F (z) = 1 − FS for FS < 1.0
F (z) = 0 for FS ≥ 1.0
w(z) = 10 − 0.5z for z < 20 m
w(z) = 0 for z > 20 m
The level of liquefaction severity

10. RECOMMENDATION
i The allowable bearing capacity (kN/m2) have been presented here for isolated foundation at various
depths. The values are calculated as per Section 9: sample calculation and summarized as:
Size of isolated Depth of foundation (m)
foundation (L=B) 1.5 1.8 2.1 2.4 2.7 3.0
1.5 164 183 211 238 266 293
1.8 161 191 209 237 264 292
2.1 159 188 219 236 263 290
2.4 159 187 216 246 262 289
2.7 160 186 214 243 274 288
3.0 161 187 214 242 271 301
3.3 162 187 214 241 269 299
3.6 164 183 211 238 266 293
iii The soil investigation activity has been performed on a single borehole of 12.0 m depth.
Hence, for the actual confirmation and validation of these obtained parameters, at least one other
borehole to the same depth is strongly recommended.
iv The foundation Design Engineer does not need to strictly follow the depth and dimension
of foundation selected in the bearing capacity analysis of this report. Designer is free to select any
other foundation dimension and depth depending upon the load of the structure. Therefore, once
the size and depth of the foundation is finalized the calculation may need to be refined during
design phase based on the parameters obtained from this investigation.

Care should be taken for the following during excavation and construction of the building
foundation.
All excavation should be carried out with a slight slope base to drain the water from
seepage and rain. Accumulation and flow of surface water should be used to prevent
by various means. During the excavation adequate water pumping system should be
used to prevent water pounding more than 3 hours.
