A. INTRODUCTION:
This report deals with Geo-Technical Investigation for proposed

construction of Plant Building is located at Mandideep, Bhopal. The proposed structure

consists of RCC framed structure.

The report includes all the possible activities starting from transportation of

tools, plan and equipments and personals to the site, making Bore holes, conducting field

test, collecting soil samples and testing them in laboratory and preparing the report

including recommendations on type, depth and safe allowable bearing capacity for the

safe and strong foundation for the proposed building structure.

B. PROJECT LOCATION:

The site for proposed construction of Plant Building is located at Mandideep, Bhopal.

Madhya Pradesh.

C. OBSERVATIONS AT SITE
The following observations have been made at the site:-
a. Effects of saltpeter and termite have not been observed at this site,

b. The site is in level with the adjoining road.

c. The site is free from flooding and does not accumulate rain water on it.

d. The site consists of silts of low plasticity till the depth of investigation.

e. Filled up soil is found up to depth of 1.00 meter.

D. FIELD INVESTIGATION:

The field investigation work at this site was carried out from 10th December to 12th

December 2022. The following investigations were carried out.

a. THREE numbers of bore holes of diameter 150 mm were made within the

proposed layout of the structures up to the depth of 15.00 meter. The boreholes

marked as BH-1, BH-2 AND BH-3. The locations of boreholes have been reported in

Appendix-1 “BOREHOLES LOCATION PLAN”.

b. Standard Penetration Tests were conducted as per IS: 2131-1981 at 1.50 meter

interval in all the bore holes. 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 75cm, thereafter the

split spoon sampler was further driven by another 15 cm. For the 3rd 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

TRIANGLE ENGINEERS CONSULTANT Page 2

 1167-BHOPAL

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.

Stiff 9 to 16 Blows Dense 31 to 50 Blows

Very Stiff 17 to 32 Blows Very Dense Above 50

Hard Above 32

The results have been reported in Appendix-2 “Laboratory Test Result”.

a. Disturbed soil samples were collected from the boreholes at an interval of 1.50

meter or 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. Undisturbed samples were collected using 100mm dia. And

450mm long MS tubes provided with sampler head with ball check arrangement.

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 and undisturbed sample in a tube, the adopter head was

removed along with the disturbed material. The visible ends of the samples shall

TRIANGLE ENGINEERS CONSULTANT Page 3

 1167-BHOPAL

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. These samples were placed without delay in

adequately sealed polythene bags. The results have been reported in Appendix-2

“Laboratory Test Result”.

b. Undisturbed soil samples were collected from the boreholes at 1.00 meter, 2.50

meter, 5.00 meter, 8.00 meter, 11.00 meter and 14.00 meter depth. The results have

been reported in Appendix-2 “Laboratory Test Result”.

c. Depth of water table (recorded as per IS 6935-1973) was encountered at 1.20

meter during the boring operation. The depth at which ground water is struck during

boring was carefully noted and the depth of water table was ascertained

subsequently in the completed borehole by one of the following methods using

electrical dip meter. The water table in the borehole was allowed to stabilize after

depressing the water level adequately by bailing. Stability of the borehole sides and

bottom was be ensured at all times. The borehole was filled with water and then

bailed out to various depths. Observations were made at each depth to see if the

water level is rising or falling. The depth at which neither a fall nor rise is observed

reading of water level taken at intervals of 2 hour in non-cohesive soil and for 24 hrs

in cohesive soils.

(part II)-1997. The results have been reported in Appendix-2 “Laboratory Test

Result”.

Result”.

d. Particle size analysis test by hydrometer method were performed in accordance

with IS 2720 (Part IV) - 1995 on the part of soil samples obtained after the sieve

analysis. The results have been reported in Appendix-2 “Laboratory Test Result”.

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.

Keeping in mind the type of structure and soil characteristics the calculations have

been done for Isolated footing.

B. SETTLEMENT CRITERIA:

Soil strata at this site mainly consists of sands, hence the Settlement of the soil

layers below the base of footing has been calculated on the basis of SPT values

obtained during the field Investigation.

Settlement for applied pressure (Sf) = (qs x Su x Df x Rf)/ (W’x100)

Where,

qs = Permissible pressure (kN/m2)

Su = Settlement for unit pressure of 1.00 kg/cm2

W’ = Water table correction factor

N= Corrected average SPT value

B= Base width

D = Depth of footing

Df = depth factor

Rf = rigidity factor

The settlement at different depth and base width can be calculated

as per the following table.

2. RECOMMENDATIONS :

Keeping in mind, the field conditions, field test results, laboratory test results

and IS codes of practice; the following recommendations are hereby made:

C1. Isolated footing shall be provided for main structure with RCC framed

columns. The depth and corresponding safe allowable bearing capacity shall

be as follows:

Depth of footing Safe bearing capacity

(m) (kN/m2)

2.00 85.00
2.50 100.00

C2. The depth of the foundation shall be measured from the lowest relative level

of natural existing ground at the site. If any loose pocket strata are found

during the excavation, the foundation shall be laid only after ensuring that

the same has been cleared and appropriate remedial measures have been

adopted.
