 REPORT ON SUB SOIL EXPLORATION
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
The investigation of the site is an essential prerequisite to the construction of all civil engineering
works with a view to assess the general suitability of the site for the proposed new works and to
enable in preparing an adequate and economic design.
In particular, it is necessary to assess the changes that may occur during or after the construction of
structure due to the choice of materials or methods of construction, which may adversely affect
safety of structure or after its performance or utility.
It is usually judicious to collect information relating to the site prior to commencing its
exploration. The exploration of the site for an important structure requires the exploration and
sampling of all strata likely to be significantly affected by the structural load. The extent of this
exploration will depend on the site and structure.
All structures rest on the foundation soil and their performance depends on soil behavior. Soil
forms the most widely used material of construction of earth dams, roads and canals. To study the
behavior of soil in foundation or earthwork engineering, properties of soil under the actual field
conditions have to be obtained.
Soil mechanics is the application of the laws of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems
dealing with sediments and other unconsolidated accumulation of solid particles produced by the
mechanical and chemical disintegration of rocks, regardless of whether or not they contain an
admixture of organic constituent.

Soil mechanics provides guidance in design of foundations, rigid & flexible pavements,
underground and earth retaining structures, embankments and excavations and earth dams. Soil
engineering embodies the use of best practices in exploration, testing, design & construction
controls.

Soil exploration provides the detailed sub soil conditions such as Stratification, Hardness &
Denseness of the strata, Water table level, Compressibility, Soil stability, Stress analysis, Shearing
resistance & Failure analysis.

5.2 Laboratory Tests:
The laboratory tests were conducted on Disturbed and Undisturbed samples. The results are
given in Bore Logs. From the test results, following interpretations are made.
5.2.1 Dry Density and Moisture content:
The insitu dry unit weight of soil is needed for stability analysis, for the determination of the
degree of compaction, for evaluation of void ratio and thereby to find out degree of
saturation etc. Percentage moisture content varies from 19 to 29 for BH-01 / BH-02. It is
compared with Atterberg limits in Fig.10.2. The dry density ranges from 13.84 to
15.11kN/m3 for BH-02 & from 13.28 to 15.64kN/m3 for BH-03.
5.2.2 Atterberg Limits:
The liquid and plastic limits of soils are both dependent on the amount and type of clay in a
soil and from the basis for the soil classification system for cohesive soils based on the
plasticity tests. Besides their use for identification, the plasticity tests give information
concerning the cohesion properties of soil and the amount of capillary properties of soil and
the amount of capillary water, which it can hold.
The Liquid limit (WL) by cone penetrometer ranges from 27 to 65% for Borehole-02 & from
25 to 57% for Borehole – 03.
The Plastic limit (Wp) ranges from NP to 25% for Borehole-02 & NP to 24% for Borehole-
03.
The Plasticity Index (Ip) ranges from NP to 49% for Borehole-02 & from NP to 44% for
Borehole-03.
5.2.3 Specific Gravity:

It has application in finding out the degree of saturation and unit weight of moist soil. The
Specific Gravity is important parameter for finding out various engineering parameters like
void ratio, degree of saturation, shears failure, etc. and is also needed in pressure, settlement
and stability problems in soil engineering. In order to determine Specific gravity of soil,
undisturbed samples were selected for all the Boreholes. The Sp. Gr. varies from 2.51 to 2.58
for Borehole-02 / 03.

Project No. Sheet No.

180408-01 06
5.2.4 Shear parameters:

The controlled strain method was used in case of shear test. These parameters are used in
evaluation of stability analysis and in evaluation of ultimate bearing capacity. The cylindrical
specimen for triaxial compression (without the measurement of pore water pressure) was
prepared from undisturbed sample. Shear as well as Triaxial Compression Test
(Unconsolidated Undrained) was conducted.
Direct Shear Test was conducted on specimen remoulded at FDD and submerged for 24 hrs
saturation. The cohesion ‘c’ & the angle of shearing resistance‘φ’ are tabulated under Table –
9.3.
5.2.5 Swelling Characteristics:

Soil sample at and below the foundation depth from Ground level was tested for swelling
characteristics.
The Shrinkage limit varies from 17 to 18%.
The Volumetric Differential Swelling Index ranges from N.O. to 50%. for BH – 02 / 03.
These characteristics show low expansive nature of stratum at foundation depth from Ground
level.
5.2.6 Consolidation Characteristics:
The main purpose of consolidation tests is to obtain soil data, which are used in predicting
the rate and the amount of settlement of the structure. Compression index Cc indicates the
magnitude of compression and the over consolidation pressure Pc indicates the compaction
of strata at natural condition. This test gives the values of various parameters as under @
the foundation depth. This test is not performed.

6.0 CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION:
Proposed site for Commercial Lowrise Building at F.P.No: 65+66, T.P.S. No: 08 (Palanpur), Near
Rajhans Orange, Ta: City, Dist: Surat, was explored by two borehole, out of which one borehole is
up to 12.45m depth and another borehole is up to 20.00m depth from GL & subsequent field and
laboratory test results show that…
1. The site is leveled and cleaned & all levels mentioned in this report are w.r.t. Ground level.
2. Layer wise stratification shows,
For BH-02,
Sub soil consists of blackish high to medium plastic silty clay with sand up to 2.80m depth
followed by brownish to yellowish medium plastic silty clay up to 3.75m depth followed by
brownish to yellowish non plastic clayey silt up to 5.00m depth followed by brownish non
plastic silty sand up to 5.50m depth followed by brownish non plastic silty sand up to 6.40m
depth followed by blackish marine non plastic silty sand up to investigation depth of 12.45m.
For BH-03
Sub soil consists of blackish high plastic silty clay up to 1.00m depth followed by brownsh
medium to low plastic silty clay up to 3.45m depth followed by yellowish to brownish non
plastic silty sand up to 6.45m depth followed by grayish non plastic clayey silt to fine graded
silty sand up to 12.45m depth followed by grayish to brownish non plastic fine graded silty
sand with gravels up to 16.95m depth followed by brownish non plastic medium to fine
graded silty sand with gravels up to investigation depth of 20.00m.
3. The ground water table was observed at 8.00m depth from GL in both boreholes during sub
soil exploration carried out in April ‘2018.
4. Engineering properties of strata below foundation level, i.e. void ratio (e), Coefficient of
uniformity (Cu), Plasticity index (Ip), D60, & Soil Classification and SPT-N value indicate the
strata up to investigation depth is having lower potential of liquefaction occurrence.
5. The report is based on fieldwork carried out from two borehole up to maximum of 20.00m
depth and laboratory test results of the samples collected from them. During excavation of
foundation trenches, if any change in strata other than the location of the borehole is found, it
is advisable to report us immediately for further investigation.
