3. FIELD TESTS
The purpose of various field tests required during sub-surface
explorations for the foundation of a structure has already been
discussed, a brief discussion of these tests is given below :

4. LABORATORY TESTS
To confirm and supplement the information obtained from field
tests about the nature of soil samples collected from various boreholes,
laboratory tests as given below were also conducted:
5. TEST RESULTS
The results of sub-surface explorations at the site of proposed
is :
B.H.1 : Non plastic silt is found upto 1.5m layer followed by poorly
graded silty sand over the whole depth of boring except at 7.5m and
9.0m layer, it is low plastic silt with 2% clay is found as shown in Table
1. Kankar upto a maximum size of 1", 1", 3" and 2" is found at 13.5m,
B.H.2 : Low plastic silt is found upto 1.5m layer followed by poorly
graded silty sand over the whole depth of boring except at 7.5m, 9.0m,
10.5m and 15.0m layer, it is low plastic silt with 2% clay is found as
shown in Table 1. Kankar upto a maximum size of 2", 1", 1", 1", 3" & 4"
respectively.
B.H.3 : Low plastic silt is found upto 1.5m layer followed by poorly
graded silty sand over the whole depth of boring except at 7.5m and
9.0m layer, it is low plastic silt with 2% clay is found as shown in Table
1. Kankar upto a maximum size of 2" & 1" is found at 18.0m and 24.0m
layer respectively.

requirements:
(i) Foundation must be safe against the shear failure of the supporting
soil.
(ii) The settlement of foundation must be within permissible limit.
The bearing capacities have been determined separately to satisfy
both the above mentioned requirements and the smaller of the two
values has been recommended as the allowable bearing capacity.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS
As mentioned in Art. 6, the minimum of the two values i.e. from
shear and settlement considerations is recommended as the net safe
bearing capacity. This works out as (Net Safe Bearing Capacity)
qns = 11.50 t/m2 from Shear consideration (I.S. Code - 6403- 1981) for
Df = 1.5m below base of basement floor or 7.5m below G.L
As the soil is in a dense state, and there is no water, so
liquifaction will not occur. Liquifaction occurs in loose fine sand
during earthquakes.
Further the area should be protected from any submergence or
saturation of foundation as no W.T. correction has been applied to the
results. For this proper drainage be provided in the vicinity of the
proposed site.
This report is based on soil strata encountered during field
investigations, any major departure from what has been given in this
