2. FIELD INVESTIGATION:
The field investigation work at the sites under consideration of this part of the report was
carried out, boreholes of diameter 150 mm, the boreholes were progressed by using power driven
rotary drilling machines. In disintegrated and hard rock strata boreholes were progressed using NX
size (75 mm diameter) double tube barrel with diamond bit. As the core recovery was from top the
rock drilling was done. Standard Penetration Tests were conducted at 1.50 meter interval up to the
depth as per the procedure laid in IS: 2131-1981 in all the bore holes whereas possible. For conducting
the test, the bottom of the borehole was properly cleaned and split spoon sampler was properly seated
in position in the borehole. The split spoon sampler resting on the bottom of borehole was allowed to
sink under its own weight; then the sampler was allowed to penetrate 15 cm with the blows of the
hammer 63.50 kg weight falling free through 75 cm, thereafter the split spoon sampler was further
rd
driven by another 15 cm. For the 3 and final drive, the sampler was further allowed to penetrate 15
cm. The number of blows required to affect each 15 cm of penetration was recorded. The first 15 cm
of drive is considered to be seating drive.

The total blows of penetration for the second and third 15 cm of penetration is termed the
penetration resistance N. The N‟ values are indicative of the compactness/ relative density of
cohesion less soils and consistency of cohesive soils.
In case the blows count of SPT in soil (including the number of blows of seating) exceeds 100,
the corresponding penetration was recorded and this particular test at that depth stopped. If the
total penetration is more than the seating penetration of 15 cm, then breakup of blows count for
15 cm seating penetration and for remaining portion of penetration is also given.
SPT „N‟ values are correlated with relative of non-cohesive stratum as per BS: 5930 (1999) - for
sandy strata and with consistency of cohesive stratum.

E.T.T.L.
In this method, the sampler acts as a probe and the driving energy is supplied by the fall of the
drop weight. The values of „N‟ depend on the compactness or relative density of the materiel. In
hard formations, the testing is discontinued if „N‟ value is found to be more than 100. It is
termed as refusal.
„N‟ value depends upon degree of saturation and over burden pressure of the formation.
Silty fine sand and fine sand below the water table develop pore water pressure
Depending on the in-situ void ratio which in turn affects the effective stress. This change
in effective stress influences the „N‟ value considerably.
Terzaghi and peck have recommended a correction for „N‟ values in case of saturated
silty and fine sand when the „N‟ observed in the field is higher than 15.
Modified value „N‟= 15+ (N-15)/2.
Soil sample obtained from standard spoon sampler for all above standard penetration tests were
collected in the polythene bags of suitable size. These samples were property seal, labeled,
record and carefully transported to the laboratory for testing.
Disturbed soil samples were tried to be collected at 1.50-meter interval and at significant
change of stratum. Soil from cutting edge of SPT samplers and retained in split spoon sampler,
used for Standard Penetration Tests was taken as disturbed samples. These samples were
placed without delay in adequately sealed polythene bags. The laboratory tests were conducted
on the collected soil samples and reported

2.2 Undisturbed soil samples were tried to be collected in accordance with IS: 2132-1986. Undisturbed soil
samples (UDS) was obtained in 100 mm diameter MS tubes of length 450 mm at 3.00 meter interval in all the
bore holes.
Undisturbed samples were collected using 75 mm dia. and 450 mm long MS tubes provided with
sampler head with ball check arrangement in power operated rotary drilling for deep bore holes.
Collection of Undisturbed samples in very hard cohesive soils/ dense granular soils/gravels/ cobbles/
pebbles/ boulders, refusal strata is practically not possible and such collected samples will not truly
represent the undisturbed conditions.
Immediately after taking undisturbed sample in a tube, the adopter head was removed along with the
disturbed material. The visible ends of the samples shall each be trimmed off any wet disturbed soil.
The ends will then be coated alternately with four layers of just molten wax. More molten wax will
then be added to give a total thickness of not less than 25mm. The laboratory test results have been
reported
2.3Rock Drilling and core samples: Drilling was advanced by rotary core drilling method using double tube
core barrels as per the guidelines of IS: 6926-1996. A double tube core barrel and Nx sized bits are used for
drilling and recovering rock cores. Core Samples were extracted by the application of a continuous pressure at
one end of the core with the barrel held horizontally without vibration.
Immediately after withdrawal from the core barrel, the cores were placed in a tray and transferred into
boxes specially prepared for the purpose. The boxes are made of seasoned timber. Recovered rock
cores were numbered serially as specified in IS: 4078-1980.
Rock core recovery and Rock Quality Designation were computed for every run length drilled.
The description of the core samples was recorded. Rock core recovered during the NX size rock
drilling have been measured, numbered and packed in wooden core boxes. The core recovery and
RQD information have been reported .

4. CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA OF ROCK MASSES:

Rock classification in terms of weathering and state of fractures and strength is carried out in
the following manner. Tabulations given in below explain it briefly.

As per IS: 4464, It should be understood that all grades of weathering may not be seen in a given rock
mass and that in some cases a particular grade may be present to a very small extent. Distribution of the
various weathering grades of rock material in the rock mass may be related to the porosity of the rock
material and the presence of open discontinuities of all types in the rock mass.
4.1 Relation between RQD and In-situ Rock quality is further measured by frequency of natural
joints in rock mass. Rock Quality Designation (RQD) is used to define state of fractures or
massiveness of rock. Following table defines the quality of rock mass.

5. COMPUTATION OF BEARING CAPACITY:
The safe allowable bearing capacity of the foundation for the proposed structure has been
calculated on the shear failure criteria suggested as per IS 6403-1981 and settlement criteria as
per IS: 8009 (part-I)-1976.
Looking at the site condition, sub soil stratification and type of proposed structure, calculations
have been done for isolated footing
5.1 ISOLATED FOOTING:

(b) In case of local shear failure –
q‟d = 0.67cN'csc dcic+q(N'q-1)sqdqiq + 0.5 BN' S d i w'
Where,

W' = Correction factor for location for location of water table
Φ = Angle of internal resistance of soil
Φ' = tan -1(0.67 tan ϕ)
Note: - If the void ratio is less than 0.55, the shear failure is considered as General shear failure. On the other
hand, if the relative density is smaller than 20% and the void ratio is greater than 0.75, the failure is local shear
failure. For relative density between 20% and 70% and the void ratio between 0.55 to 0.75, the bearing
capacity factors are obtained by interpolation between the general shear failure and local shear failure.
