1.0 Introduction
Sub-soil investigation is a predominant feature in designing foundation of important structure
in an intelligent, economic and satisfactory way. Both results of field and laboratory
investigations are essential to obtain necessary information in this regard. “PRIME SUB SOIL”
performed the sub-soil investigations at the proposed site for the “EXECUTIVE ENGINEER
FARIDPUR PWD DIVISION.” The investigation comprises soil boring, field-testing, soil
sampling, and laboratory testing.
The fieldwork was completed in January - 2019. This report contains relevant data, bore-logs,
drawing and graphs as well as soil stratification and very tentative recommendation about the
type of foundations.
2.0 Objective:
The purpose of soil exploration is to find out strength characteristics of the Sub-Soil over
which the Structure will have to be built. The soil exploration should provide the necessary
data to evaluate the following: -
-The safe Bearing Capacity of Soil.
-The location of Ground Water Table.
-The choice and Depth of Foundation.
- To determine the probable maximum & differential settlement
3.0 Client and project
SALTHA, FARIDPUR.
4.0 Field Works
The land is approximately plan each boring includes the following field works:
-Standard penetration test (SPT)
-Collection of disturbed samples
-Collection of undisturbed samples
-Field classification of soils
-Recording of ground water table (GWT)
-Sealing of undisturbed samples by tube
 -2-
4.1 Exploratory borings
Field works actually consists of three (03) numbers of Exploratory Bore Holes (location shown
in the enclosed layout plan) up to 30.30m depth below existing ground surface.

4.2 Collection of Disturbed soil Samples

The Standard Penetration Tests were performed at every 1.50m intervals up to the final depth
of all bore holes. 52 nos. of Disturbed Soil Samples were extracted at every Standard
Penetration Test point.

4.3 Collection of Undisturbed Soil Samples

Undisturbed soil samples were collected by means of thin walled sharp-ended 3 inch diameter
Shelby tubes from different bore holes. The depth corresponding to the undisturbed soil
samples are shown on the bore-logs. 6 nos. of Undisturbed Soil Samples were extracted at
Cohesive Zone from the four bore holes.
4.4 Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
The test involved driving of split spoon sampler of 1.375 inches (35 mm) inner and 2 inches
(50 mm) outer diameter and 2 ft. long by a standard 140 1bs (63.6 Kg) hammer using 30
inches (762 mm) free fall. The number of blows necessary for the penetration of final 12 inch
of the split spoon sampler has been recorded as N count. The N-values are shown in the bore-
log with corresponding depths.
4.5 Ground Water Table (GWT)
The Ground Water Table at Bore Holes were measured after 24 hours from completion of
Boring Works. The Depth of Water have been found at Project Area were shown in different
bore logs.
5.0 Laboratory Works
In addition to visual examination in the field, important laboratory tests on collected soil
samples from different soil strata have been carried out in the laboratory to evaluate
important soil parameters.
Laboratory works consist of the following important tests:
-Natural Moisture Content (w) Test
-Liquid Limit (wL) and Plastic Limit (wp) Test
-Specific Gravity (Gs Test
-Grain Size Analysis
-Unconfined Compressive Strength (qu) Test
-Consolidation (Cc, e0) Test

6.0 ESTIMATION OF ALLOWABLE BEARING CAPACITY

6.1 Bearing Capacity for Shallow Foundation

The N value gives useful information with regards to consistency of cohesive soil and relative
density of cohesion less soil. These relationships are given in the Tables 7.1.1 and
7.1.2(a),(b),(c) for cohesive and cohesion less soil, respectively.

Table 6.1.1 Relation of N-value with the Consistency and the Unconfined Compressive
Strength of Cohesive Soils (after Bowles 1997).

6.2 BEARING CAPACITY FOR DEEP FOUNDATION

Foundations, preferably piles are considered to transmit heavy load from superstructure to
deep and hard strata. As the formation of soil strata consists of cohesive and non-cohesive
type, the evaluation criteria for the determination of skin friction and the end bearing
capacities of piles also vary. Details of the evaluation are provided in the following sub-
headings.
Cohesive soil :

For soil under cohesive group i. e., for clay and plastic silt, the skin friction and the end bearing
capacities of square or circular pile may be evaluated by the following general formulae.
fsu =α Cu (7.2.1)
qpu =N Cu (7.2.2)
Where, fsu= Ultimate skin friction.
α = Adhesion factor (can be obtained from the table given below).
Cu = Untrained Shear Strength.
qpu = Ultimate end bearing of pile.
Nc = Bearing capacity factor for deep foundation =9
Non-cohesive soil:

For non-cohesive soil of silt, fine to medium sand the skin friction and the end bearing
capacities of pile may be evaluated by the following formulae, suggested by Meyer of.

fsu = 4N/200 tsf (7.2.3)

qpu = 4N tsf (7.2.4)

Where, fsu = Skin friction

qpu = End bearing of pile
N = SPT value
 -5-

7.0 CORRECTION OF SPT VALUES:

In granular soils, the overburden pressure affects the penetration resistance. As the
confining pressure in cohesion less soils increases with depth, the penetration number for
soils at shallow depth is underestimated and that at greater depths is overestimated. When
the N value at a depth corresponding to an effective overburden pressure of 0.5 tsf is
considered to be standard, the N value is required to be corrected.( Ref Peck, Hanson &
Thornburn) For uniformity, the N-values obtained from the field tests under different
effective overburden pressures have been corrected to a standard effective overburden
pressure according to the following equations suggested by different authors.

Bazaraa (1967), and Peck and Bazaraa (1969):

4Nf
N′ = if Po < 71.8 KN/m2 (1.50 ksf)
1+c1 P0

4Nf
N′ = if Po > 71.8 KN/m2 (1.50 ksf)
3.25 + C2 Po

Where N′ = Corrected SPT values

Nf = SPT recorded in the field

Po = Effective overburden pressure

C1 = 0.04 for SI units; = 2.0 for Fps units

C2 = 0.01 for SI units; = 0.5 for Fps units.

Moreover, silty fine sands and fine sands below the water table develop pore pressure which is
not easily dissipated. The pore pressure affects the resistance of the soil and hence the
penetration number. Terzaghi and Peck (1967) recommended the following correction in the
case of silty-fine sand when the observed values of N′ exceeds 15.
N = 15 + 0.5 (N′ - 15)
Where, N = Final corrected SPT value.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION:

Experienced structural engineer and geo-technical engineer are required to work side by side
to select the appropriate foundation type needed for the site of SALTHA, FARIDPUR.

Recommendation for a foundation type does not depend only on soil parameters rather some
other factors like architectural layout, loading condition, importance factor, financial
constraints, availability of building materials in particular region and construction technique
etc. also play important role. Since it is beyond the scope of our assigned job, we refrain from
recommending specific foundation type but can only provide our impression.

Our findings on the basis of field boring exploration & laboratory investigation are recorded as
below:

The top soil layer consists of Brown/Grey soft to medium stiff silty CLAY maximum depth
of 4.50m from EGL, followed by Grey medium dense silty FINE SAND in nature.

The soil compactness of each respective layer is more or less regular.

The sub soil formation is almost homogeneous.

Under the prevailing sub-soil condition as evident from above analysis we may recommend
following type of foundation.

R.C.C Individual column footing

To be considered 1.00tsf (F.S=3.00) at a depth of 12ft 0inch measured from EGL
particularly at and around boring arena.

Deep Foundation:

a. Alternatively, the Deep foundations, preferably of the piles may also be considered. The
required values of the skin friction as well as the end bearing capacities of the pile
(Driven type) are provided in the page no 7-9

b. The Carrying capacities of the pile to be calculated from the table values (Ref page no 7-
9 ) Must be confirmed from carrying out the Load test (Bored R.C.C pile) or from the
field driven records (Driven pile) covering the entire building area.

However, the choice of foundation type depends upon the designer who may select any type of
foundation at any depth of considering framing pattern of structure, overall economy and site
condition, he can also calculate bearing capacity considering the theory suitable to him and
also on his engineering judgment.
