3.0 GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION OF THE REGION
3.1 Location
Project site Map
Project Site is located along in Baramulla. Baramulla is located Northern region in the valley of
Kashmir, situated in the geographical coordinates of 34°12’53.04’’ N latitude and 74°20’34.71’’ E
longitude. It has an average elevation of 1,655 m amsl. It is bounded by Srinagar and bandipora
in the south-east, in the west by Poonch and Budgam and in the north by kupwara.
Page 5 of 13
3.2 Climate
The climate found in the zone of the Middle Mountains and the valleys is of a particular type.
Altitude determines the degree of coolness and elevation the form of precipitation and summer
temperature. Winter is cold and of long duration. When the monsoons are strong, rain is caused.
In higher mountains round the valley of Kashmir, winter is very cold and there is snow-fall.
Summer is very short and milder. The climate in the Valley of Kashmir has its own peculiarities.
Winter is very cold. It lasts from November to March. During these months strong winds bring
snow and rain from the Mediterranean depressions. Spring begins after 15th of March when rain
falls heavily. It causes landslides. But for sowing crops this rain is extremely useful. Rainfall in July
and August is as high as 70% and with summer temperature, it causes discomfort. The lakes and
waterways make the atmosphere damp and oppressive. The entire valley is covered with a haze
that hides the surrounding mountains from view. The seasons are marked with sudden change
and the year is divided into six seasons of two months each.
Spring March 15 to May 15.
Summer May 15 to July 15.
Rainy Season July 15 to Sept. 15.
Autumn Sept. 15 to Nov. 15.
Winter Nov. 15 to Jan 15.
Ice Cold Jan. 15 to March 15.
From December 24 to March 8 temperature is often below zero. Strong winds blow from south
and southeast. It snows during winter and there are thick black clouds in the sky. Annual rainfall
of the valley recorded is about 75 cms. It rains in July and August and also in March and April.
August is the warmest month. Temperature rises to 85 deg. F. January is the coldest month.
3.3 General geology of Region
The district forms part of the Jhelum sub basin of Indus basin. The soil in Baramulla comprises
glacial deposits, lacustrine deposits and moraines of Pleistocene age covering shales, limestones,
sandstones, schists and other varieties of rocks. River Jhelum is the major river with its tributaries
drain in the area. There are three major tributaries viz., Dudhganga, Shaliganga, Sokhnag Nalas.
The rock formations underlying the district ranging in age from Cambrian to Quaternary. The brief
generalized geological succession in the area is given below
Panjal traps forming hilly and mountainous terrain of the district with hard formations of
igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Karewa formation and alluvium of Quaternary and
Tertiary age (Plio-Pleistocene) underlie the valley area and consists of alternate bands of
sand, silt, gravel & clay, interspersed at two to three levels locally by glacial boulder beds.
This formation is important from ground water point of view and sustains the water supply
system in the area. This formation of Plio-Pleistocene age lies dis-conformably over the older
rocks ranging in age from Cambrian to Triassic.

3.4 Seismicity
The Jammu & Kashmir is the western most extension of the Himalayan mountain range in
India. Here it comprises of the Pir Panjal, Zanskar, Karakoram and Ladakh ranges. The
boundary of the Punjab plain and the mountains forms the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFF),
which in this area is the Murree Thrust. The Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) underlies the Pir
Panjal Range and is known as the Pir Panjal Thrust in the region. The Zanskar ranges
which are part of the Great Himalayan range are underlain by the Zanskar Thrust. The
Kashmir Valley lies between the Pir Panjal and the Zanskar thrusts, making it very
vulnerable to earthquakes. Other northern parts of Jammu & Kashmir are heavily faulted.
Along the Zanskar and the Ladakh ranges runs a NW-SE trending strike-slip fault, the
longest in the Jammu & Kashmir area. Apart from the routine small tremors moderate to
large earthquakes have hit nearly all parts of the state. However, it must be stated that
proximity to faults does not necessarily translate into a higher hazard as compared to areas
located further away, as damage from earthquakes depends on numerous factors such as
subsurface geology as well as adherence to the building codes. The area under study and
its surroundings are seismically active falls in Seismic Zone – V and the tectonic elements of
the area are considered capable of generating an earthquake of magnitude of 7.5. In
seismic design Zone factor, Z of 0.36 is recommended
.

Page 7 of 13
3.5 Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the sudden loss of shear strength of the loose fine-grained sands due to
earthquake-induced vibration under saturated conditions.
Assessment of liquefaction potential of foundation strata is made by simplified procedure as

per IS: 1893 (Part -1) - 2016 from the SPT data and peak ground acceleration likely to occur
at the site. In this method, cyclic shear stress likely to be induced in the foundation strata by
Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) is first evaluated. Next threshold cyclic shear stress, which
is good enough to cause liquefaction, is determined from SPT data and the empirical
relations. Finally, comparison of these two stresses is used in the estimation of liquefaction
susceptibility of the foundation strata..
Cyclic Stress Ratio ( CSR )
If the equivalent average of shear stress is normalized with the initial effective overburden
pressure (σo), the term is called seismic demand of soil layer or cyclic stress ratio ( CSR ).
CSR = 0.65 * (σo / σo’ )* (amax / g )* rd
Cyclic Resistance Ratio ( CRR ) It expresses capacity of soil to resist liquefaction. CRR is
determined using correlation between corrected blow count (N1)60 and CRR for
earthquake of magnitude 7.5. (N1)60 is the SPT blow count corrected to an effective
overburden pressure of 100 kpa and to hammer energy efficiency of 60 %.
Hence the CRR for a particular earthquake magnitude is determined as

CRR = CRR M = 7.5 * MSF * Kσ * Kα
Kσ and Kα is taken as 1.
The factor of safety against liquefaction, FSL, is given as FSL = CRR/CSR
The value of CSR and CRR are computed at different depth and depth susceptible to
liquefaction is determined. Liquefaction is probable when FSL is less than 1.0.
Liquefaction in Cohesive Soils
Cohesive soils are often deemed to be non-liquefiable if any one of the following conditions is
not satisfied:
• Percent (by weight) finer than 5 μm <15 %
• wl<35 %
• wn< 0.9 x wl
Where wl is the Liquid Limit and wn is the Natural Moisture Content, respectively. These
conditions are collectively referred to as the Chinese Criteria.
Assessment of Liquefaction
Considerations for checking Liquefaction:

Water table Depth = at ground Level
Seismic Zone = V
Maximum earthquake magnitude = 7.5
Zone Factor = 3.6
*The formation of the present site shows soft to stiff behavior of cohesive nature and
potentially Non Liquefiable.

4.0 METHODOLOGY OF INVESTIGATION
The investigation was planned to obtain the subsurface stratification in the proposed project
site and collect soil samples for laboratory testing to determine the engineering properties
such as shear strength, along with basic engineering classification of the subsurface
stratum to arrive at the foundation design parameters.
4.1 Boreholes
For Geotechnical investigation work, boring rig was installed at the specified borehole
location. Stability of rig was ensured by making level ground. The boreholes were
progressed using a mechanical shell and auger, where caving of the borehole occurred, 150
mm diameter casing was used to keep the borehole stable as per IS specifications.
4.2 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)

Standard Penetration Tests were conducted at 1.5 m interval as per the procedure in
IS: 2131 – 1981.
The ‘N’ values are indicative of the compactness / relative density of cohesion less soils and
consistency of cohesive soils. In case the blow count of SPT in soil (including the number
of blows for seating) exceeds 100, the corresponding penetration was recorded and this
particular test at that depth stopped. If the total penetration is more than the seating
penetration of 15 cm, then breakup of blow count for 15 cm seating penetration and for
remaining portion of penetration is also be given.
SPT ‘N’ values are correlated with relative density of non-cohesive stratum and with
consistency of cohesive stratum.

4.3 Disturbed Sampling (Soil) in boreholes

Disturbed soil collected in the SPT sampler was preserved in polythene covers and transported
to the laboratory. One more polythene cover was provided to prevent the loss of moisture during
the transit period.
4.4 Undisturbed Sampling (Soil) in Boreholes
Undisturbed samples were collected using 100mm diameter and 450mm long MS tubes
provided with sampler head with ball check arrangement. Undisturbed samples were not
proved to be truly undisturbed in case of Non-plastic sandy soils or hard clay soil.

4.5 Laboratory testing

Laboratory tests were carried out as directed by client, consultant in accordance with the
procedures described in the relevant Indian Standard Codes of practice.
5.0 GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT / PROPOSED DESIGN PARAMETERS
This Project is about the proposed construction of Building for Transit Accomodation.
Borehole was used to characterize subsurface conditions at site.
5.1 Subsurface Conditions
Based on the boring information, the generalized subsurface conditions at the sites are as
follows:
Stratum1: Clayey silt (Ml) reveal soft to medium stiff consistency.
Stratum1: Clayey silt (Cl) reveal stiff to very stiff consistency.
Borehole No Depth Type of strata Observed SPT

“N Value”
BH-01 0.0-10.0 Clayey silt (MI/CI) 4-19
BH-01 0.0-3.0 Clayey silt (MI) 7
Borehole 2 was terminated at 3m because of unusual encountered hard material which couldn’t
be penetrated and shall be confirmed after adopting proper drilling technique. However for design
parameters of borehole 1 was considered.
6.0 FOUNDATION SUPPORT
Considering the nature of soil, type of proposed structures, expected loads on foundations,
Open foundations would be suitable foundation system for the lightly loaded structures.
For satisfactory performance of a foundation, the following criteria must be satisfied;
(i) The foundation must not fail in shear.
(ii) The foundation must not settle by an amount more than the permissible settlement.
The smaller of the bearing pressure values obtained according to (I) and (ii) above, is adopted
as the allowable bearing capacity.
FOUNDATION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS

Where footings are adjacent to sloping ground or where the bottoms of the footings of a structure
are at different levels or at levels different from those ,of the footings of adjoining structures, the
depth of the footings shall be such that the difference in footing elevations shall be subject to the
following limitations:
a) When the ground surface slopes downward adjacent to a footing, the sloping surface shall not
intersect a frustum of bearing material under the footing having sides which make an angle of
30” with the horizontal for soil and horizontal distance from the lower edge of the footing to the
sloping surface shall be at least 60 cm for rock and 90 cm for soil ( see Fig. 1 )
b) In the case of footings in granular soil, a line drawn between the lower adjacent edges of
adjacent footings shall not have a steeper slope than one vertical to two horizontal ( see Fig.
2).
Page 10 of 13
c) In case of footing of clayey soils a line drawn between the lower adjacent edge of the upper
footing and< the upper adjacent edge of lower footing shall not have a steeper slope than one
vertical to two horizontal ( see Fig. 2 )
6.1 Open Foundations
Bearing Capacity for open Foundations

Bearing capacity for shallow foundations in soil has been analyzed in accordance with IS:
6403-1981, which is based on, modified Terzaghi’s classical approach. The weighted average
of shear parameters for various strata up to a significant influence zone of 1.5B to 2 B (B =
width of the foundation) below the foundation level is used in the analysis. Considering the
fluctuation of ground water, it is assumed that water table will be at existing ground level and
accordingly the water table correction is applied. A factor of safety of 2.5 is selected to
estimate the net safe bearing capacity from ultimate net bearing capacity.
Settlement for Open Foundations

The magnitude of settlement, when foundation loads are applied, depends upon the
compressibility of the underlying strata and rigidity of the substructure. In cohesive deposition,
the post construction settlement is caused by dissipation of pore pressures and hence is time
dependent so that consolidation settlement is computed for such soils as per IS: 8009 (Part-1
Page 11 of 13
and).The immediate settlements in clays are estimated using the elastic theory considering
the effect of a rigid stratum underlying the foundation soils (Reference: “Foundation Analysis
and Design” by J. E. Bowles). Unexplored Foundation depth within influence zone has been
considered same as encountered at termination of boreholes.
Based on soil design parameters and calculations attached in Annexure - I, net allowable
bearing capacities are tabulated below in normal condition after improvement of soil.

7.0 Conclusion and Recommendations:
1. The strata at the present consists of alluvium formation of cohesive soil with soft to stiff
consistency as depicted by field penetration test. Water table was encountered at 6m depth
from Existing ground level of boreholes.
2. Open foundation in the form of Raft foundation is recommended for lightly loaded structures,
and for heavy loaded structures deep foundation or ground improvement technique may be
required which shall be ascertained after proper structural requirements and exploration of
deeper boreholes.
3. Net Allowable bearing capacity as recommended in above table should be adopted for design
Purpose with minimum depth of foundation to be adopted as 2m from existing ground level ,
with due consideration of seismic zone.
4. The project site is potentially non liquefiable as evaluated in Annexure 1 of Liquefaction
Assessment.
5. The excavation should be carried out cautiously keeping into account the effect on closely
spaced pre-existing structures (if any).
