3.0 SUB SURFACE EXPLORATION
3.1 DRILLING:
Five borehole of 150mm diameter are drill up to the depth of 30 meter Where caving of the borehole
occurred, casing was used to keep the borehole stable. The work was in general accordance with IS: 1892 –
1997.
Undisturbed soil samples are collected in 75 to 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.
Water table was encountered during the sub soil exploration work carried out in the month of Feb-2020
Sampler is coupled together with a sampler head to form a sampling assembly. The sampler head 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 manner.
The 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
sealing.
The 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.

3.2 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 borelogs

4.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 (%)
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 Required IS sieve.
Hydrometer Analysis : 50 g of soil 75m passing IS sieve was mixed with 3.3 g passing sodium hexa-meta-
phosphate and 0.7g 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.

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 425m 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
Plastic Limit: About 15g of oven dried soil passing through 425m 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
Shrinkage Limit (IS : 2720, Part 6, 1992): It is the maximum water content expressed as percentage of oven-
dry weight at which any further reduction in water content will not cause a decrease in volume of the soil
mass is calculated as follows:
SL = W – ((V – V0) / W0) x 100
Where,
SL = Shrinkage limit in %.
W = Moisture content of wet soil pat in %.
V = Volume of wet soil pat in ml.
V0 = Volume of dry soil pat in ml.

4.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 (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
with distilled water and soil. Remove entrapped air by shaking well and stirring using a glass rod. Allow
the soil in both the jars to settle for a sufficient time (not less than 24 hours) for the soil sample to attain
equilibrium state of volume without any further changes. Free swell index is calculated as follows:
Where,
Vd = The volume of soil sample read from the graduated cylinder containing distilled water.
Vk = The volume of soil sample read from the graduated cylinder containing Kerosene.
Page 6
4.A.6 SWELL PRESSURE TEST (IS: 2720, Part 41, 1977)
The swell pressure tests are carried out at field dry density with zero percent moisture content and by
constant and volume method. An oven dry soil specimen is compacted into the specimen ring with the
specimen kept in between two porous stone saturated in boiling water providing a filter paper between
the soil specimen and the porous stones. The loading block is then positioned centrally on the top of the
porous stone. The assembly is then placed on the platen of loading unit. The load measuring proving ring
is attached to the load frame and placed in contact with the consolidation cell without any eccentricity. A
direct strain measuring dial gauge is fitted to the cell. The specimen is then inundated with distilled water
and allowed to swell. The initial reading of the proving ring s noted. The swelling of the specimen with
increasing volume is obtained in the strain measuring load gauge. The specimen is kept at constant
volume by adjusting the strain dial gauge always at original reading. This adjustment is done at every
0.1mm of swell or earlier. The swell pressure is then calculated frm the difference between the final
2
and initial dial readings of the proving ring. Swell pressure (Kg/cm ) is calculated as follows: SP = ((Final
Dial Gauge reading - Initial Dial Gauge reading) / Area of specimen ) x Calibration factor of the proving
ring.
4.A.7 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.
Page 7
4.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.

5. 0 SAFE BEARING CAPACITY
Looking to the proposed type of project, site conditions and sub soil stratification, RCC Open Foundation is recommended
along with safe bearing capacity and safe bearing pressure at different depths. Intensity of bearable load determined as soil
bearing capacity (SBC) and soil bearing pressure (SBP) on soil.
SBC BASED ON SHEAR :- The ultimate net bearing capacity is evaluated after taking into consideration of shape factor
and depth factor of the foundation in accordance with I.S. 6403-1981. The net bearing capacity worked out using the
following equation.
Q = C N c Sc dc + q (Nq -1) Sq dq + 0.5 B g Ng Sg dg
Where,
c = Cohesion
q = Overburden Pressure
g = Density
B = Width of the Footing
N c,Nq,Ng = Bearing capacity Factor
S c,Sq,Sg = Shape Factor
d c,dq,dg = Depth Factor
Note : 1) Minimum value of SBC & SBP shall be considered in design of foundation.
