REPORT ON SUB-SOIL INVESTIGATION

1. INTRODUCTION:
THE DEPUTY CHIEF ENGINEER, Southern Railway Construction, Salem,
Tamilnadu has to conduct Subsoil Investigation Works for the proposed to construct a LUS IN LIEU OF
LC10 Between Salem and Omalur Stations. In order to get adequate data required for designing the
foundations, conducted the sub-soil investigation and collect the samples to determine the foundation
design parameters.
The collected soil samples were handed over to M/S.GEOMATRIX
CONSULTANCY LABOURATORY through the clients for Laboratory testing. The brief objectives of the
Laboratory testing are as follows:
a) To evaluate the parameters of soil sample collected at the project site.
b) To assess the Engineering parameters and estimate the Safe Bearing Capacity of the subsoil.
2. SCOPE OF WORK: The Scope of work includes the following:

 Conducting various laboratory tests on the handed over samples.
 Submitting recommendation for type and depth of foundation.
 Submitting report with SBC, settlement and Pile carrying capacity Calculations with laboratory
test results in two hard copies.
3. LOCATION & DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE:

The proposed Construction of LUS IN LIEU OF LC10 between Salem and Omalur
Stations.
4. SOIL INVESTIGATION:
The details of field investigation, tests carried out in the field & laboratory
are presented as follows
Madurai ,Ph :75980 31360
4.1 FIELD SAMPLING:

Two boreholes of 150 mm dia were made by the client using Rotary drilling
machine in this site on 19.02.2024 & 21.02.2024. SPT’s was conducted at every 1.50 m depth intervals
and the disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected for identification and testing.
4.2 METHOD OF INVESTIGATION:
4.2.1 EXPLORATORY BORE HOLE:
Exploratory borehole was advanced using rotary washing method so that
minimum disturbance is attributed to the soil below the boring depth. Borehole was always kept filled
with drilling mud to prevent any negative hydrostatic pressure within the borehole. Boring through the
soil was performed using TC bit & diamond drill bit with side jets for drilling mud. Standard penetration
tests, disturbed sampling, field identification of soil & rock samples, etc., was carried out in these bore
holes.
4.2.2 STANDARD PENETRATION TEST:
SPT was conducted at different depth in the borehole. SPT split spoon sampler
of standard size was driven into the soil from borehole bottom using 63.5kg hammer falling from 75cm
height. Blow counts for the penetration of every 15cm were recorded and the N is reported as the blow
counts for 30 cm penetration of the sampler leaving the first 15cm penetration as seating drive. SPT
was conducted at a depth interval of 1.50 m below the ground level.
4.2.3 SAMPLING IN BORE HOLES:
Soil collected in the SPT sampler is preserved in polythene covers and
transported to laboratory. One more polythene cover was provided to prevent the loss of moisture
during the transit period. Rock samples also collected using double tubes core Barrel and preserving in
wooden core boxes and transported to laboratory to conduct various tests.
5. DESCRIPTION OF GROUND WATER TABLE:

Ground water table was not encounted at during investigation.
Madurai ,Ph :75980 31360
6. LABORATORY TESTS:
The collected soil samples were tested in ISO 17025: 2017, NABL
Quality control Certified Laboratory as per relevant procedure in IS codes. The laboratory-testing
scheme is so designed to obtain the design parameters for the foundations. The following parameters
are evaluated:
 Natural Moisture Content: This test is conducted in all disturbed samples to find the water
content in the soil samples as per IS 2720 (Part 2) : 1973
 Specific Gravity: This test is conducted in all disturbed soil samples to find Specific gravity of
Soil as per IS 2720 (Part 3) : 1980
 Sieve Analysis: These test conducted to identify and classify the samples as per IS 2720
(Part 4) : 1985
 Liquid Limit: This test conducted in fine-grained soils to find the liquid Limit of the soil as per
IS 2720 (Part 5) : 1985
 Plastic Limit: This test conducted in fine-grained soil to find plastic limit of the soil as per
IS 2720 (Part 5) : 1985
 Direct Shear Test: This test conducted in coarse-grained soil to find the angle of shearing
resistance of the soil as per IS 2720 (Part 13) : 1986
 Unconfined Compression Test: This test conducted in fine-grained soil to find Cohesion of the
soil as per IS 2720 (Part 10): 1991. All the test results are presented in Tables1 &2.
7. DISCUSSION ON SOIL PROFILE: Based on the field and Lab test results, it’s concluded that,
In BH-1 the sub soil profile consists of Brown coloured Sand (0.00-1.55m),
Soft Disintegrated Rock (1.55-6.00m), followed by Hard Rock (6.00-7.60m).In BH-2 the sub soil
profile consists of Brown coloured Sand (0.00-1.53m), Soft Disintegrated Rock (1.53-6.00m), followed
by Hard Rock (6.00-7.10m).The detailed Layer formations are presented in Tables 1 & 2 and also in
Fig 2.
