REPORT ON SUB SOIL EXPLORATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION: The investigation of the site is an essential prerequisite to the construction of all civil engineering works with a view to assess the general suitability of the site for the proposed new works and to enable in preparing an adequate and economic design. In particular, it is necessary to assess the changes that may occur during or after the construction of structure due to the choice of materials or methods of construction, which may adversely affect safety of structure or after its performance or utility. It is usually judicious to collect information relating to the site prior to commencing its exploration. The exploration of the site for an important structure requires the exploration and sampling of all strata likely to be significantly affected by the structural load. The extent of this exploration will depend on the site and structure. All structures rest on the foundation soil and their performance depends on soil behavior. Soil forms the most widely used material of construction of earth dams, roads and canals. To study the behavior of soil in foundation or earthwork engineering, properties of soil under the actual field conditions have to be obtained. Soil mechanics is the application of the laws of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems dealing with sediments and other unconsolidated accumulation of solid particles produced by the mechanical and chemical disintegration of rocks, regardless of whether or not they contain an admixture of organic constituent. Soil mechanics provides guidance in design of foundations, rigid & flexible pavements, underground and earth retaining structures, embankments and excavations and earth dams. Soil engineering embodies the use of best practices in exploration, testing, design & construction controls. Soil exploration provides the detailed sub soil conditions such as Stratification, Hardness & Denseness of the strata, Position of Ground Water table level, Compressibility, Soil stability, Stress analysis, Shearing resistance & Failure analysis.

FIELD INVESTIGATION:

Two boreholes of 150 mm dia. were drilled, one up to 4.45m depth & other up to 6.45m depth from GL by Shell & Auger Casing. Summary of Field Work is given under Table 9.1. 3.1 The actual fieldwork started on 15/02/2012.The location of Boreholes were finalized jointly after due consideration of the building locations & topography of the site. 3.1.1 Disturbed Samples:

Disturbed representative samples were collected from Borehole cutting and from split spoon sampler. The soil samples so collected were logged, labeled and placed in polyethylene bags.

3.1.2

Undisturbed Samples:

The Undisturbed samples have been collected in 70 mm x 600 mm long thin walled sampler as per IS 2132:1981 at every 2.00m depth interval or as per requirement of foundation depth investigation or change in strata whichever met earlier. The sampler has smooth surface and appropriate area ratio and cutting edge angle as required by IS 1892:1972 to ensure minimum disturbance of soil during sampling. Following design features of sampler, which govern the degree of disturbances, were considered while selecting sampler. Sampler was coupled together with a socket with vent holes and ball check valve to form sampling assembly. On cleaning the borehole, the sampler was lowered inside the borehole on a string of drilled rods and was driven to a predetermined level with the help of falling hammer. On completion of driving, the sampler first rotated within the borehole to shear the soil and then pulled out. On bringing up the sampling assembly to the ground surface, the sampler was removed, labeled and waxed on both ends. 3.2 Standard Penetration Test: The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) has been conducted as per IS 2131:1981 at every 2.00m depth interval or as per requirement of foundation depth investigation or change in strata whichever met earlier, using Split Spoon Sampler confirming IS 9640:1980. The SPT Spoon having 50.2mm O.D.*35.0mm I.D. was lowered inside the borehole on a string of drill rods and number of blows for 300 mm penetration of SPT spoon after 150mm as testing drive were recorded under the free fall of 63.5 kg hammer from 750mm height. A true vertical free fall of hammer was observed. The minimum open length of the sampler was 60 cm. The sampler is first driven through 15 cm as a setting drive. It is further driven through 30cm or until 100 blows have been applied. The test was stopped if the penetration is less than 2.5 cm under 50 blows. SPT N values are given in bore logs. 3.3 Ground Water Table: The ground water table was observed @ 2.00m depth from GL in both the boreholes during sub soil exploration carried out in February 2012.

Borehole 02 4.2.1 Layer No 1: The layer from GL to 3.75m i.e.3.75m thick layer is observed of yellowish medium to high plastic silty clay with sand & gravels. The percentage of silt & clay varies from 67 to 91, the percentage of sand varies from 09 to 30 & the percentage of gravel varies from Nil to 03. 4.2.2 Layer No 2: The layer from 3.75m to 5.00mi.e.1.25m thick layer is observed of brownish plastic silty sand & soft murrum. The percentage of silt & clay is 08, the percentage of sand is 52 & the percentage of gravel is 40. 4.2.3 Layer No 3: The layer from 5.00m to 6.45m i.e. up to investigation depth consists of brownish to grayish gravels & friable hard murrum. The percentage of silt & clay varies from 02 to 04, the percentage of sand varies from 45 to 47 & the percentage of gravel varies from 49 to 53. Sieve analysis was performed by using IS sieves of size 4.75mm, 2.00mm, 0.425mm & 0.075mm & 0.002mm for obtaining particle size distribution i.e., Gravel, Sand & Silt + Clay of Disturbed, Undisturbed & SPT samples. The grain size distributions are tabulated under Table 8.2 indicating coarse, medium & fine grain and also represented in Figure 9.1. 5.0 Analysis of data: The field data and laboratory classification reveal stratification in general as given under. 5.1 Standard Penetration Resistance: A comparative study of the SPT N Values (No of blows per 300 mm penetration) has been done. The SPT N Values are ranging from 13 to 92* for 300 mm penetration (* Test terminated at blows > 50 for 150mm penetration) which indicates dense to very dense strata under foundation depth. The relationship between N value & consistency and denseness are as under N Value Consistency N Value Denseness 0-2 Very Soft 0-4 Very Loose 2-4 Soft 4-10 Loose 4-8 Medium 8-15 Stiff 15-30 Very Stiff 30-50 Dense >30 Hard >50 Very Dense

Laboratory Tests: The laboratory tests were conducted on Disturbed and Undisturbed samples. The results are given in Bore Logs. From the test results, following interpretations are made.

5.2.1 Dry Density and Moisture content: The in situ dry unit weight of soil is needed for stability analysis, for the determination of the degree of compaction, for evaluation of void ratio and thereby to find out degree of saturation etc. Percentage moisture content is 13 for Borehole 01 & 27 to 29 for Borehole - 02. It is compared with Atterberg limits in Fig.10.2. The dry density is 17.27kN/m3 for Borehole 01 & 14.52 to 15.00kN/m3 for Borehole 02. 5.2.2 Atterberg Limits: The liquid and plastic limits of soils are both dependent on the amount and type of clay in a soil and from the basis for the soil classification system for cohesive soils based on the plasticity tests. Besides their use for identification, the plasticity tests give information concerning the cohesion properties of soil and the amount of capillary properties of soil and the amount of capillary water, which it can hold. The Liquid limit (WL) by cone penetrometer ranges from 30 to 43% for BH-01 & 36 to 53% for BH 02. The Plastic limit (Wp) ranges from NP to 24% for BH-01 & NP to 29% for BH-02. The Plasticity Index (Ip) ranges from NP to 21% for BH-01& NP to 28% for BH 02. 5.2.3 Specific Gravity: It has application in finding out the degree of saturation and unit weight of moist soil. The Specific Gravity is important parameter for finding out various engineering parameters like void ratio, degree of saturation, shear failure, etc. and is also needed in pressure, settlement and stability problems in soil engineering. In order to determine Specific gravity of soil, undisturbed samples were selected for both Boreholes. The Sp. Gr. is 2.60 for Borehole-01 & 2.51 to 2.53 for Borehole 02. 5.2.4 Shear parameters: The controlled strain method was used in case of shear test. These parameters are used in evaluation of stability analysis and in evaluation of ultimate bearing capacity. The cylindrical specimen for triaxial compression (without the measurement of pore water

pressure) was prepared from undisturbed sample. Shear as well as Triaxial Compression Test (Unconsolidated Undrained) was conducted. Direct Shear Test was conducted on specimen remoulded at FDD and submerged for 24 hrs saturation. The range of cohesion c and the angle of shearing resistance for different soil type is summarized under Table 8.3. The cohesion c ranges from 7.85 to 20.60kN/m2 & The angle of shearing resistance ranges from 20 to 25 degrees. Triaxial Compression (Unconsolidated Undrain Condition) test was conducted without the measurement of pore water pressure on undisturbed mould specimen. The value of cohesion c is 42.18kN/m2 and the angle of internal friction is 12 degrees. These results for individual samples are summarized under Table No. 8.3. 5.2.6 Swelling Characteristics: Sample at and below the depth of 3.00m was tested for swelling characteristics. The Shrinkage limit is 23% for Borehole-01 & 02. The Volumetric Differential Swelling Index ranges from 10 to 30% for Borehole-01 & 02. These characteristics show low expansive nature of soil stratum @ foundation depth of 3.00m from G.L.

Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) based on Shear failure criterion and Safe Bearing Pressure (SBP) based on 100 mm settlement (IS 1904: 1986) criterion is worked out. The allowable bearing capacity shall be taken from the following values whichever is less. a) SBC based on Shear parameters: The Net Safe bearing capacity (SBC) based on shear failure criterion. The Safe Bearing Capacity has been computed based on shear strength characteristics. The evaluation of SBC is as per Indian Standard IS 6403:1981(Reaffirmed 1997). b) SBP based on Consolidation parameters: The net safe bearing pressure that can be impressed on maximum settlement of 100mm (permissible value for raft foundations on plastic clay, silt or sandy strata as given in IS 1904: 1986). The Total settlement has considered as per IS 8009 (Part: I) 1976 (Reaffirmed 1993.). c) SBC & SBP based on SPT N Value: Based on foundation depth @ 3.00m, the average SPT N-value is worked out as 33 (Least of BH-02) no. of blows/300 mm penetration. The relation between N values and unconfined compression strength (qu) is qu = (N / 7.5) kg /cm2 & qu = 2c tan (45 + /2)

The safe settlement pressure is calculated by the empirical method based on N-value as per IS 6403:1981 & IS 8009 (Part-1):1976 for usual size footings.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The proposed site for Construction of check dam cum causeway at Athola, Silvassa, was explored by two boreholes, one up to 4.45m depth & other up to 6.45m depth from GL at different locations. The subsequent field and laboratory test results show that 1. The location of boreholes was decided with engineer in-charge as per structure location. The site is leveled and all the levels mentioned are w.r.t the ground level Road level. 2. In general, Sub soil mainly comprises of yellowish plastic silty clay & clayey sand with gravels up to 1.50m depth followed by brownish to grayish non plastic poorly graded gravels & friable hard murrum with sand particles up to termination depth of 4.45m depth in Borehole-01. 3. Sub soil mainly comprises of yellowish medium to high plastic silty clay with sand & gravels up to 3.75m depth followed by brownish plastic silty sand & soft murrum up to 5.00m depth followed by brownish to grayish gravels & friable hard murrum up to termination depth of 6.45m depth in Borehole-02. 4. The ground water table was observed @ 2.00m depth from GL in both the boreholes during sub soil exploration carried out in February 2012. So, the effect of water table is considered accordingly in evaluation of SBC & settlement values. 5. Depending on the soil strata, SPT-N Values and other test results of both boreholes, raft foundation is to be taken @ minimum 3.00m depth from Ground Level Plot level. 6. By seeing the properties of soil at foundation depth in BH-02, where FDD is 15.00kN/m3, water content is around 27% & tri axial shear parameters are as c is 42.18kN/m2 & is 12o & the load will be govern by intermediate of local & general shear failure, the net safe bearing capacity (SBC) for raft foundation at depth of 3.00m is to be taken as 18.00 t/m2 (177.00 kN/m2) with a factor of safety 3.00. 7. The average SPT-N value under foundation depth worked out as 33. The total expected elastic settlement calculated as per IS 8009-(part-1) 1976 (Reaffirmed 1993), for the load of 177kN/m2 & NMC of 27%, will be 34mm which is less than the permissible settlement of 100mm (as per IS 1904: 1986). For total settlement limit other than 100mm, the safe bearing pressure will change accordingly.

8.

These values of SBC/ SBP are only for symmetric static loading conditions. The inclined & dynamic loading condition has not considered while computing the Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC).

9.

The strata @ foundation depth of 3.00m from GL in both boreholes show low swelling characteristics.

10. Engineering properties of strata below foundation level, i.e. void ratio (e), Coefficient of uniformity (Cu), Plasticity index (Ip), D60, & Soil Classification and SPT-N value indicate the strata up to investigation depth is having low potential of liquefaction. 11. The value of SBC is based on fieldwork carried out from 02 Nos. boreholes, one up to 4.45m depth & other up to 6.45m depth from GL and laboratory test results of the samples collected from them. During excavation of trenches, if any change in strata is found, it is advisable to report immediately for further investigation. For Bhumi Research Center
