GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT

OF
PRELIMINARY SOIL INVESTIGATION OF AL-SHAFAY ENCLAVE
G.T ROAD KHARIAN

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the findings of a Geotechnical Investigation for the
proposed housing project Al-Shafay Enclave, at G.T Road Kharian. The
purposed of investigation was to obtain geotechnical parameters to design
foundations. Geotechnical Investigation for proposed site was carried out by
M/s FOUNDATION DESIGN ENGINEERS Islamabad. Field investigation was
carried out on March, 2023.

This report presents details of the geotechnical investigations carried out,

provides evaluation of the subsurface conditions encountered at the
investigation locations, and recommendations for the foundations of the
purposed building. Recommendations given in this report are based on field
and laboratory testing results, and on the state- of- the- art knowledge in
geotechnical engineers, design and construction.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

Scope of work under this contract for geotechnical investigations consisted of
the following major tasks.

1. Drilling and sampling of fifteen (15) boreholes down to the depth of

15.0 feet or rock/boulders/gravels whichever is achieved earlier and
five (05) test pits upto 5.0ft.
2. It is worth mentioning here that drilling of boreholes, field testing,
sampling was done under the supervision of the client
representative. Mr. Waqas Ali provided samples for testing and field

3. Performance of Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) at specified

depth intervals to test and sample the subsurface soil.
4. Performing laboratory tests to determine pertinent index and
engineering properties of the strata encountered at the site.
5. Analyze the field and laboratory data and submit and engineering
report giving recommendations for the foundation design and
construction.

2.0 NATURE OF SUB-SURFACE

Twenty (20) locations were selected at the proposed site for the purpose of
soil investigation. Location of these boreholes can be seen from the ANX-C.
The most area of the site is approximately level. However, these levels are just
an eye judgment and mentioned here for some reference and idea only and
should be confirmed at site by any precise method, if found necessary.

TP No. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05:

0’.0” / 5’.0”: Brown color, soft silty clay.

2.2 DEPTH OF GROUND WATER TABLE

The depth of ground water table, if encountered, needs to be observed and
recorded on the Borehole logs. The ground water affects many elements and
phases of foundation design and construction. In case of site under
consideration, any sort of seepage was not encountered during investigation
in the month of March 2023.

3.0 SEISMICITY OF THE AREA

The project site is located in Zone 2B as per “Seismic Provisions-2007” of

Building Code of Pakistan. This zone indicates high degree of damage during
the seismic loading. Keeping in view the seismotectonic set up of the project
site and the degree of importance of the structure of the proposed project, it
is recommended that the structures should be designed to withstand
maximum horizontal peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.16 - 0.24g. This PGA
has 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years.

based on micro earthquake observations, Jour. Geophys. Res. Vol. 83, 1878.)
& (Amateur Seismic Centre (ASC), Pune, India, 2008.)

4.0 SEISMIC SOIL PROFILE CHARACTERIZATION

Chapter 16, Division V of this code describes the procedure for determining Soil
Profile Types in accordance with Table 2-2 (Civil & Structural Engineering:
Seismic Design of Buildings & Bridges by Alan Williams). Based on data
collected from boreholes, it is recommended to use SD as soil profile type for
this site. Here SD is defined as follows;
SD: Stiff Soil
Vs (Shear wave velocity) 600 ~ 1200 ft/s
Su (Undrained Shear Strength) 1000 ~ 2000 psf

5.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION

Following Tests were conducted on the site according to AASHTO / ASTM
testing procedure and results are summarized in Anx - A
a. Standard Penetration test (SPT). (ASTM D 1556-84)
b. In situ Bulk Density (ASTM-D-2939)
c. Collection of disturbed soil samples.
d. Preparation of bore hole/test pits Logs

5.1 DRILLING OF BOREHOLES/TEST PITS

As per scope of work 15 boreholes having 10.0 ~ 15.0ft depth were drilled by
utilizing manual method and 05 test pits with excavation method. Drilling as
per scope of work was completed on site. Site engineer maintained a field log
of soil/rock encountered in the boring. Boring logs are attached in annexure
“B”.

5.2 STANDARD PENETRATION TEST

Standard penetration test (SPT) is most commonly used through the world
wide for rapid determination of in situ shearing strength of soil and
consistency of soil texture. In this method split spoon sampler is used. It is an
open-ended steel cylinder, which splits longitudinally into two halves. It is
60cm (24 inches) long and has 5.08cm (2.0 inches) outer and 3.81cm (1.50
inches) inner diameter. A standard cutting shoe at the lower end holds
together the two halves and a coupling at upper side connects the sampler to
the drill rod. A Drop Hammer weighing 64 kg (140 lbs.) falling free from a
height of 76cm (30.00inchs) drives the sampler into the soil. The number of
blows required to penetrate the sampler 30cm (12.00 inches) into the
undisturbed soil strata is recorded as standard penetration resistance or SPT
blows count. The test was performed at the site after 5.0 ft depth intervals
according to testing procedure of ASTM D 1556-84 and N-value at 12 inch
penetration is recorded in borehole logs. The test is halted and refusal if,
 50 blows are encountered for any 6 inch penetration.
 100 blows are obtained for last 12 inch penetration.
 10 successive blows produce no advance.
The SPT corrected ‘N’ values at the said site ranges from 7 to 19 in the bore
holes/test pits.

5.3 INSITU BULK DENSITY

Density of soil indicates the natural compaction of sub-soil strata, which
depends upon the nature, type and mineralogy of the soil composition. It is
the ratio of weight of moist soil to volume of moist soil. Dry density is
determined with the following expression.
Dry density= west density x 100/(100+ moisture content percent)
Bulk density of soil was performed at site according to testing procedure of
ASTM D 1587-83, AASHTO T204-90 and T191-93 for the soil. Bulk density of
soil has been used for analysis of allowable bearing capacity and determining

6|P age
 FOUNDATION DESIGN ENGINEERS, ISLAMABAD

of the overburden pressure of soil. The assumed values of in- situ bulk density
are tabulated in Anx - A of this report.

5.4 DISTURBED AND UNDISTURBED SOIL SAMPLES

Soil samples were collected carefully at the site during drilling phase to
accurately determine the engineering characteristics of sub-soil. Collection of
disturbed soil samples was carried out from bore holes at specified depths.
These samples have been tested in laboratory, to perform the sieve analysis
and Atterberg Limit test for classification purpose.

5.5 PREPARATION OF BORE HOLE LOGS/TEST PITS

Bore Hole logs/ Test Pits are presented to describe classification of soil and
detailed geological and geotechnical description of soil and rocks and are
attached in Anx-B of this report.

6.0 LABORATORY TESTING

Samples retrieved from borehole/test pit were examined in the field and then
transported to testing laboratory for relevant laboratory testing. The
laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples to determine the
engineering characteristics of the subsurface strata.

6.1 CLASSIFICATION TEST

Classification tests confirm the visual description of the soil units recorded at
the site. Twenty (20) sieve analyses were carried out on the soil samples.
Sample indicated presence of natural strata. Strata constituted silty clay and
followed by silty sand and friable sand stone to the maximum explored depth
of 15.0ft. According to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) material has
been classified as CL (Silty Clay) SM (Silty Sand) and S.St (friable sand stone).

6.2 DISCUSSION OF LABORATORY TESTING

Following tests were conducted in FOUNDATION DESIGN ENGINEERS
according to ASTM Standard testing Procedure.
7|P age
 FOUNDATION DESIGN ENGINEERS, ISLAMABAD

a. Natural Moisture Content

b. Grain Size Analysis
c. Atterberg’s Limits Test

6.3 NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT

The natural moisture content is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight
of the solids in a given mass of soil. This ratio is usually expressed as
percentage. In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be
determined. The knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all
studies of soil mechanics. To sight a few, natural moisture content is used in
determining the bearing capacity and settlement. The natural moisture
content will give an idea of the state of soil in the field. Disturbed soil samples
were collected from 5.0 ft depth intervals of bore holes and label according to
ASTM testing procedure of sampling, and transported to FDE laboratory for
finding the % age of natural moisture content. The results of % age of natural
moisture content are summarized in ANX-A.

6.4 GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS

Grain size analysis or sieve analysis test divide the soil in groups through US or
BS standard sieves. For example coarse grained soil (Gravel) is consisting of 50
% or > 50 % retained on NO 4 sieve. Fine grained soil (Clay or Silt) is consisting
of 50 % or > 50 % passing No 4 Sieve. Same as No 200 sieve separates the fine
grained soil into further two sub groups. For example clay or silt particles
consisting of 50 % or > 50 % passing NO 200 sieve. Sand particles consisting of
< 50 % passing NO 200 sieve. . For course grained soil, particle size is
determined against 10%, 30% and 60% passing, which may be denoted as D10,
D30 and D60 respectively.
For this purpose grain size analysis of each bore hole at different depth have
been conducted in laboratory and results are attached in Appendix-A.

6.5 ATTERBERG’S LIMITS

The liquid and plastic limits are used internationally for soil identification and
classification and for strength correlations. Air dried soil samples are used for
Atterberg limits test in Casagranda liquid limit apparatus. The liquid limit is
defined as that water content which produces a standard groove closure of
1/2" for 25 blows in the liquid limit machine. Plastic limit is the range of water
content at which soil thread become 3.2 mm and crumbles with finger
pressure. The test results are shown in appendix-B of this report.

7.0 CONSTRUCTIONAL ANALYSIS

We recommend the following measures during construction of the building:

 Before placing footings, proof role bottom of the excavation to not less
than 90 % of the dry density obtained by Standard Proctor method (ASTM
D698) for single story buildings and 95% of the dry density by Modified
AASHTO method (ASTM D1557) for two or more storied buildings using
appropriate compaction equipment must be ensured.
 Plinth protection slab sloping away from the building should be provided
around the structure to reduce ingress of water to foundation soils. For
this purpose, 4 inch thick PCC (1:4:8) layer may be provided.
 Proper surface drainage should be provided in the project area and the
area should be graded to keep the surface runoff away from the structure.
 Experienced engineer should observe the construction activities to check
that the works are performed in accordance with the plans and
specifications. Field and laboratory tests should be performed to confirm
that the material quality, compaction and strength meet the project
specifications.
 This report presents results of the geotechnical investigations, conducted
through fifteen Boreholes to a maximum depth of 15.0ft (8x10’and 7x15’)
and five test pits up to 5.0ft below the existing grade.

 The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report

are based on site conditions, as they existed at the time of field
investigations and further on the assumption that the bore holes are
representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site.

8.0 BEARING CAPACITY ANALYSIS

Messeri and Skempton introduced an equation based on the un-drained shear
strength (Su) for the determination of allowable bearing capacity of cohesive
soil.
qu (tsf)= 5 Su (1+0.2 D/B) (1+0.2 B/L)
Where D,B and L are depth, width and length of proposed foundation and Su is
un-drained shear strength (Su = qu/2), Where qu unconfined compression
strength. For continuous footing, term (1+0.2 B/L) becomes 1 and simple
relation will be as under:-
qa(ksf) =5 su(1+0.2 D/B)/FOS
Factor of safety (FOS) is taken as 3 by keeping in view the risk of settlement
and loss of shear strength of foundation soil at contact of water during
construction stage. Un-drained shear strength (for clay) from standard
penetration test can be determined with the following simplified relation:-
Unconfined compression strength, qu (tsf) =0.125xNcor: Su=qu/2
For sandy, silty sand and Fine Gravelly soils, Meyerhof’s equation
is more conservative for the assessment of bearing capacity:-
Qa (ksf)= (Ncor/4)/K for B(=/<)4ft
Qa(ksf) =(Ncor/6) (B+1/B)2/K for B>4ft
Where, K=1+0.33(D/B) should be (<, =) 1.33
and Bowles’ Equation is as under:-
Qa = (N/2.5) / K For footing width, 4 feet or less
Qa = (N/4)[(B+1)/B]2 / K For footing width, greater than 4 ft
Where, Kd=1+0.33(D/B) should be (<, =) 1.33

10 | P a g e
 FOUNDATION DESIGN ENGINEERS, ISLAMABAD

For gravelly soil strata, the bearing capacity is assessed basing on

SPT number of blows with the following simplified formula:-
Qa(tsf) =0.116 (Ncor) for B=3 &4 ft and D/B =1
The proposed equation for non-cohesive soil provides allowable bearing
capacity for one inch settlement. The above expressions are for dry type of
soils (M F Atkinson) so the bearing capacity should be halved for the
foundation or there is any risk of leakage of water in foundation soil.
Bearing capacity for proposed site is:

Depth from existing ground

S. No. Allowable Bearing Capacity (T/ft2)
Level (ft)

1 5.0 feet 0.68 TSF

2 10.0 feet 0.76 TSF

3 15.0 feet 0.86 TSF

9.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations for Al-Shafay Enclave, G.T Road Kharian are given as
below;

 This is the general bearing capacity of the whole site, client must
conduct the soil test for individual structure in the society to be
constructed latter on.
 All quality tests must be performing during developing of the housing
society (for roads and sewerage work).
 Stratum encountered three unit of ground profile.
 Site lies in seismic zone 2B according to seismic provisions given in
Building code of Pakistan (BCP 2007). Structures must be designed for
a maximum PGA value of 0.16 ~ 0.24g. Soil type SD can be used in
design.
 Ground water was not encountered during field investigation.
