1.0 Introduction
The main function of a foundation is to distribute or transmit all loads
coming over it to the soil or ground upon which it rests. The knowledge of
the characteristics of underlying soil is therefore very essential for safe &
economical design of foundations. The performance of supporting stratum
depends upon the physical properties of soil type & shape of footing &
structure, water table depth etc.
Soil has different meanings depending upon the area of interest of the
professional to an agriculturist, soil means top earths surface which
supports plant life. To a geologist it is thin top crust of earth formed by
disintegration of rocks. To an engineer it is uncemented loose cohesive or
cohesion less material. Soil may have particles ranging from fraction of
micron to large boulder.
Soil is a complex material which contains inorganic non cohesive material
in various percentages. It may also contain chemicals. Study of soil and its
behavior is important for design of foundations, pavements, underground
and earth retaining structures, embankments and earth dams.
Geology is a science which deals with behavior and application of soil as
engineering material. Terzaghi defined soil mechanics as the application of
laws of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems dealing with
sediments and other unconsolidated accumulations of solid particles
produced by mechanical and chemical disintegration of rocks regardless of
that these contain an admixture of organic constituent.
Soil is produced by disintegration of solid rocks. The production of soil is
cyclic and soil cycle consists of weathering, denudation, transportation and
deposition. All the planes and vallies are formed by this procedure.
Inorganic soils get organic material from decaying vegetation.

Soil in its natural state is a three phase system, it contains solids, water and
air, in dry mass of soil, the voids contain air and hygroscopic moisture
surrounding and adhering to surface of soil particles. When all the voids
are filled with water it is saturated mass of soil. To assess the suitability of
a soil with respect to a desired purpose all or a few of following properties
are required to be known.

Specific gravity
Bulk density
Porosity.
Void ratio.
Water content.
Water absorption.
Particle size distribution.
Liquid limit.
Plastic limit and plasticity index.
Coefficient of friction.
Compressive strength.
Permeability.
Salt content.
Shrinkage limit.
Swell index.
Direct shear test.
Total Soluble Solids.

In addition to this chemical characteristics of soil may also interest an

agriculturist. The knowledge of properties of soil is important for

Foundation design.
Pavement design.
Design of underground and earth retaining structures.
Design of embankments.
Design of earth dams.

The performance of soil in the designs cited above depends upon the
characteristics of soil. It necessitates testing of soil to determine its physical
properties.

2.0 Project
This final report summarizes the geotechnical investigation performed by
Namotech Laboratoy for the proposed ESR is considering near Ahelwari. The
following table of loads and settlement criteria for project features was
considered for this investigation.

3.0 Location of Site

Village:- Ahelwari, Distt.:- Bharatpur

4.0 Scope of Work

Field investigation at the site are planned to determine the required
characteristics of underlying soil to design the foundations of the proposed
structure, the data obtained from these investigations have been analyzed to
arrive at the required parameters, mainly the safe bearing capacity of the
soil at various depth with respect to the existing ground level. In order to
achieve the stated objectives, the stipulated scope of work included
following operations
Transportation of the personnel, plant and equipment to the site of
work and withdrawing the same on completion of work.
Drilling Two boreholes of 100 mm diameter from the ground level to
6 meter depth or up to refusal strata.
Conducting Standard Penetration Test in borehole as per Indian
standard specification (IS-2131)
Extracting undisturbed soil samples and sealing, numbering and
preserving them as per (IS-2132)
Carrying out following necessary test on the soil samples to establish
its characteristics.

5.0 Field Investigation

The standard penetration test was conducted in bore hole in soils
following the Standard procedure as per Indian standard IS: 2131, which
specifies the procedure for conducting SPT for soil. This test is carried
out using the standard split spoon sampler to measure the number of
blows called N Value. Standard split spoon sampler was attached
to an A rod. It was driven into the soil to a distance of 45 cm using
a standard hammer falling freely from a height of 75 cm while
driving, the number of blows required to penetrate the last 30 cm is
taken as N value at that particular depth of the bore hole. This value
is then used for calculating the bearing capacity of the soil.(Table 7)
The subsurface investigations in the field involve three basic operations: Drilling
Sampling
Conducting the required field test. This is followed by operations in the
Laboratory for conducting prescribed laboratory tests.

6.0 Laboratory Tests

All test were conducted in accordance with the procedure
laid down in Indian Standard IS: 2720, results obtained are
presented in Table 2 and bearing capacity results Based on
IS: 6403-1981 are presented in Table-3-6 and Table-7.

Allowable Bearing Capacity

Considering the proposed structure and taking in to account the N value an

allowable settlement of 25 mm has been adopted for evaluating the net
allowable bearing capacity based on the settlement criterion.
Average shear strength parameters have been used for calculating safe bearing
capacity from shear failure criterion, lower of the two values obtained from
settlement and shear failure criteria is used in arriving at net allowable bearing
capacity of the soil, as shown in Table -1.

9.0 Conclusions:
*

The soil stratum at the site is consists of Silty Sand (SM).

The SPT N value indicates that soil stratum is loose.

Soil is non plastic and having no cohesion.

Water table was not encountered at the time of investigation.

The recommended values of SBC are as per Table 1.

Remarks: 1. Samples will be preserved in our laboratory for a period of 30 days only,
from the date of issue of this report.
2. This report is not for legal proceedings.
3. Subjected to Jaipur jurisdiction only.
4. For any clarification please correspond within 30 days from issue this test
report.

SHEAR FAILURE CRITERION
1. IS : 6403-1981
The following formulae have been used for calculating ultimate net bearing capacity as
per IS: 6403-1981 and this is similar to one proposed by Vecic.
FFor Continuous Strip Footing
(a) In case of general shear failure Qns=1/FS[C*Nc + d(Nq-1) + 0.5*B**N*Wq]

(b) In case of local shear failure

Qns=1/FS[2/3*C*Nc + d(Nq-1) + 0.5*B**N*Wq]

For Considering Shape of Footing

(a) In case of general shear failure
qd = cNc sc dc ic + q(Nq-1)sq dq iq +0.5 B N S d i w
(b) In case of local shear failure
qd = 0.67cNc sc dc ic + q(Nq-1)sq dq iq + 0.5 By N S d i w
Where,
Nc, Nc, Nq, Nq N N = Bearing capacity factors
q'd = Net ultimate bearing capacity based on general shear failure
B = Width of strip footing
sc, sq, s = Shape factors
y = Bulk unit weight of foundation soil
w' = Correction factor for location of water table
= Angle of shearing resistance of soil in degrees
C = Unit Cohesion
For Local Shear 2.0 mtr depth in BH-1
Qns= 1/3x[(0.67x0.00x14.83)+{(1.68x2.0)x(6.40-1)}+(0.5x1.5x1.68x5.39x1)]
= 8.31
Qs= Qns + overburden
= 8.31+( 1.68x2.0)
=11.67
For General Shear 2.0 mtr depth in BH-1
Qns=1/3x[(0x26.37)+{(1.68x2.0)x(15.30-1)}+(0.5x1.5x1.68x17.79x1)]

= 23.49
Qs = 23.49+( 1.68x2.0)
= 26.85

As per Is Code 6403-1981 table 3

0.75-0.55= 0.20
So we have 20 divisions,
For .74=1 , 0.73= 2 , 0.72= 3..0.56.=19 values for interpolation.

Void Ratio is 0.73 , For Interpolation

So
[26.89-11.67]/20
= 0.76
Now
0.76x2
= 1.52
Adding it to Local Shear value :
11.67+1.52
= 13.19
