2.1 Scope of work:
The main scopes of this investigation work are:
a. Execution of exploratory borings, recording
Position of ground water table.
b. Execution of standard penetration test (SPT) at an interval of Sit depth
uth colsetion of disturbed soil samples up to the final depth exploration
of each boring.
c. Preparation of the final report wit
of soil stratification sub-soil.
d. From the field tests and laboratory tests,

©. Fer looce and soft strala, from the field tests and laboratory tests, scope
relouation for the skin friction and rearing values for design deep
foundation.
2.2 Field works:
All the field works and field tests were conducted as per standard procedure as laid
down in ASTM specification are as follows.
a) Exploratory Boring Drilling:
ash boring method. A hole was started by driving vertically a
Je izaneter steel casing into the ground to some depth and then the formation ground
casing was broken up by repeated drops of a chopping bit attached to the lower and of
Griling pipe. The upper end of the same was forced at high pressure through pores of
the chopping bit, and returns to the surface through the annular space between drilling
pipe and the side of the casing or hole, carrying with it the broken-up soils. In this way
Biting is advance up 10 a level of 6° above the depth, where SPT-N value has to be
executed
b) Standard Penetration Test:
Standatd Penetration Tests (SPT) have been executed in all the bore holes at § ft
‘ntervals up 10 final depth of boring. In this test, a split spoon sampler of 2° out
diameter and 1-3/6" inner diameter is made to penetrate 18 inches, into the soil by
drops of a hammer weighting 140 Ibs (63.5 kgs) falling freely for a height of 30 inches.
Numbers of blows of hammer required for penetration of each 6" length of the sampler
dre recorded. The number of blows for the last 12 inches penetration of the total 18° is
known as the Standard Penetration Value (N-values) as specified
SPTN value is plotted with particular depth a by SS TManalie

hall works including detailed description

Drilling was executed by wé©) _ Extraction of soil samples: I
Disturbed soil samples were collected at 6 ft inlervals and at every change of sol
strata by split spoon sampler. These soil samples were studied visually and the soil
classification were done to prepare strata chart of soils up to the explored depth.
Before collection of samples, the hole is wasted and cleaned the drill pipe with help of
an adapter and is lowered into the hole. The sample is then pressed down into the
ground in one rapid continuous top is filled with soil sample.
2.3 Laboratory tests:
All laboratory tests were conducted on soil samples collected either in the disturbed or
in the undisturbed state. All tests were done as per ASTM procedures, are as follow
a. Natural Moisture Content:
The Water content of a soil sample is the ratio of the weight of the water in the sample
to its dry weight. It is usually expressed as a percentage. The soil sample is weighted
both in natural state and in oven dry state and the moisture content is calculated by
dividing the loss of weight of the sample by its dry weight
b. Particle Size Distribution:
The object of grain size analysis is to determine the size of the soil grains, and the
percentage by weight of soil particles of different particles size, comprising a soil
sample. The process consists of either sieve analysis or hydrometer analysis or both
The hydrometer analysis is adopted for sample passing sieve No. 200. For hydrometer
analysis, 50 gm of the oven dry sample is thoroughly mixed with required quantity of
water in a calibrated glass cylinder. In order to avoid flocculation, a little dispersing
agent is adding. The density of the suspension is measured at specified time intervals,
by means of a hydrometer or special design. At any particular time the size of largest
particle remounting in suspension at the level of the hydrometer can be computed by
means of Stocks law, where as the weight of the particles finer then size, can be
computed from the density of the suspension at the sample level. The mixture is
washed through U.S standard sieve No. 200 and the fraction retained is dried. The
friction retained of each sieve is weighted for calculation of the percentage of different
friction, The results are represented by cumulative curves plotted on semi logarithmic
graph paper,
cc. Atterberg Limits:
Physical properties of clay are greatly influenced by water content. A given soil
behaves as a fluid or a soil or, as plastic materials, depending on how much water it
contains. The water contents that correspond to the boundaries between the states of
consistency are called as the Alterberg limits. Liquid limit is the minimum water content
at which a clay soil just starts behaving like a fluid. It is determined with the help of
Siandafd liquid limit device. The plastic limit is the minimum water content at wh es
soil is just plastic and is determined by rolling out a soil sample at a slowly decre: ich a
water content until, the desired water content is reached, at which a thread of 1/8 rot
diameter just begging to crumble. The thread is rolled on glass plate with hand 8 inchThe mocae te avity Test:

corrected §| mM ~@ & c values obtained from direct shear tests or from based on
PT values. On the basis of above criteria, the Bearing Capacities of
He foundation have been evaluated according to Terzaghi, (Appendix A4: (TABLE-
According to Tarzaghi's formula: (For cohesive soil)
1. Square footing: Qu = 1.2c'Nc + yDNg + 0.4yBNy
2. Circular footing: Qu = 1.2c'Nc + yDNa + 0.3yBNy
3. Strip or Continuous footing: Qu = c'Nc + yDNq + 0.5yBNy
For purely cohesive soil, Tarzaghi assumed, @ = 0, c= and the bearing capacity
factor are as follows: (for general shear failure), Nc = 5.7, Nq = 1, Ny=0
Tarzaghi (1943) proposed a bearing capacity formula:
Quit = C Ne Sc + y DI Nq + 0.5 y B Ny Sy
Where Sc & Sy are shape factor. Tarzaghi assumed, c=0 kg/cm” Also these are as
following:
b) Deep foundation:
Whenever necessary Deep Foundation, preferably Pile may be used. To evaluate skin
friction and end bearing capacities following formulae may be used-
