2. SCOPE OF WORK:
For the Vrindavan (UP)., it is required to determine the safe allowable

bearing capacity together with necessary engineering characteristics of underlying soil strata.
Since the safe bearing capacity of soils must be evaluated on the considerations covering shear
failure and permissible settlement of sub-soil strata as per IS: 6403-1981, IS: 1904-1978 and IS:
8009 (part-I)-1976 hence the scope of work is as follows:
2.1. Mobilization of all tools & plants along with accessories, materials, labours etc. at site
of work for drilling and testing work, including setting up boring and shifting to different
bore holes point etc.
2.2. Exploratory drilling of 100mm/150mm diameter bore holes through soil deposits within
the proposed area of construction up to required depth.
2.3. Collection of disturbed soil samples at an interval of 1.50 meter in all the bore holes.
2.4. Collection of undisturbed soil samples at every 2.50 m interval or at change of stratum
from all the boreholes.
2.5. Conducting the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) at an interval of 1.50 m or noticeable
change of stratum in soil deposits in all bore holes.
2.6. Transporting all the disturbed and undisturbed soils and rock core samples collected
during the field investigation to our Geo-tech Engineering laboratory in Delhi.
2.7. Conducting the laboratory tests on all the soil samples, collected during field
investigation for determination of their engineering characteristics.
2.8. Compilation of field and laboratory test results, working out the safe allowable bearing
capacity and preparing the report including detailed recommendations and necessary
precautions.

3. FIELD INVESTIGATION:
The field investigation work at this site was carried out on

December 16th to 18th, 2023. The following investigation work was carried out:
3.1. Total three number of boreholes of diameter 150 mm were made within the
proposed layout of the site. The boreholes were progressed using wash boring
under percussion method of drilling. Casing was used to keep the borehole stable.
The records of achieved depth of bore holes have been given in Para No. 6 and
locations of boreholes have been reported in “BOREHOLES LOCATION PLAN” in
Appendix A.
3.2. Standard Penetration Tests were conducted at 1.50 metre as per the
procedure in IS 2131-1981 in all the bore holes. For conducting the test, the bottom
of the borehole was properly cleaned and split spoon sampler was properly seated
in position in the borehole. The split spoon sampler resting on the bottom of
borehole was allowed to sink under its own weight; then the sampler was allowed
to penetrate 15 cm with the blows of the hammer 63.50 kg weight falling free
through 75cm, thereafter the split spoon sampler was further driven by another 15
cm. For the 3rd and final drive, the sampler was further allowed to penetrate 15 cm.
The number of blows required to affect each 15 cm of penetration was recorded.
The first 15 cm of drive is consideredto be seating drive.
Structure of SPT Sampler

Page 6 of 28
The SPT Samplers used were without liner type and with no space for liner.
The total blows of penetration for the second and third 15 cm of penetration is termed
the penetration resistance N. The N’ values are indicative of the compactness/ relative
density of cohesion less soils and consistency of cohesive soils.
In case the blows count of SPT in soil (including the number of blows of 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 blows count for 15 cm seating penetration and for remaining
portion of penetration is also given.
SPT ‘N’ values are correlated with relative of non-cohesive stratum as per BS: 5930
(1999) - for sandy strata and with consistency of cohesive stratum.
CORRELATION FOR CLAY/PLASTIC SILT CORRELATION FOR SAND/NON-PLASTIC SILT

Consistency of Penetration Value Relative Density of Penetration Value
clays sand
Very Soft 0 to 2 Blows Very loose 0 to 4 Blows
Soft 3 to 4 Blows Loose 5 to 10 Blows

Medium Stiff 5 to 8 Blows Medium 11 to 30 Blows
Stiff 9 to 16 Blows Dense 31 to 50 Blows
Very Stiff 17 to 32 Blows Very Dense Above 50
Hard Above 32
In this method, the sampler acts as a probe and the driving energy is supplied by
the fall of the drop weight. The values of ‘N’ depend on the compactness or relative
density of the materiel. In hard formations, the testing is discontinued if ‘N’ value is
found to be more than 100. It is termed as refusal.
‘N’ value depends upon degree of saturation and over burden pressure of the
formation. Silty fine sand and fine sand below the water table develop pore water
pressure depending on the in-situ void ratio which in turn affects the effective stress.
This change in effective stress influences the ‘N’ value considerably.
Terzaghi and peck have recommended a correction for ‘N’ values in case of
saturated silty and fine sand when the ‘N’ observed in the field is higher than
Modified value ‘N’= 15+ (N-15)/2.

Soil sample obtained from standard spoon sampler for all above standard
penetration tests were collected in the polythene bags of suitable size. These samples
were property seal, labelled, record and carefully transported to the laboratory for
testing. The results have been reported in Appendix C under the title “RESULTS OF
LAB TESTS”
3.3. Disturbed soil samples were collected at every 1.50 metre interval and at
significant change of stratum. Soil from cutting edge of SPT samplers and retained
in split spoon sampler, used for Standard Penetration Tests was taken as disturbed
samples. These samples were placed without delay in adequately sealed polythene
bags. Where the collection of disturbed soil samples could not be collected from
SPT samples, Shelby tubes were driven and retained soil samples were obtained.
The laboratory tests were conducted on the collected soil samples and reported in
Appendix C under the title “RESULTS OF LAB TESTS”.
3.4. Undisturbed soil samples were collected in accordance with IS: 2132-1986.
Undisturbed soil samples (UDS) was obtained at every 2.50 metre interval.
Undisturbed samples were collected using 100 mm dia and 450 mm long MS tubes
provided with sampler head with ball check arrangement. Collection of Undisturbed
samples in very hard cohesive soils/ dense granular soils/gravels/ cobbles/
pebbles/ boulders, refusal strata is practically not possible and such collected
samples will not truly represent the undisturbed conditions. Immediately after taking
undisturbed sample in a tube, the adopter head was removed along with the
disturbed material. The visible ends of the samples shall each be trimmed off any
wet disturbed soil. The ends will then be coated alternately with four layers of just
molten wax. More molten wax will then be added to give a total thickness of not
less than 25mm.Thelaboratory test results have been reported in Appendix C.

7. CALCULATIONS AND RESULTS:
For the construction of Commercial buildings raft footing (open foundation) has been considered for
computation of load bearing capacity of the underlying soil strata. The safe allowable bearing
capacity for the open foundations have been calculated on the shear failure criteria suggested as
per IS 6403-1981, IS: 1904-1995 and settlement criteria as per IS: 8009 (part-I & II)-1976.
7.1. ISOLATED/RAFT FOOTINGS:
7.1.1. Shear Failure Criteria:
Type of shear failure Mixed (Interpolation in between

= General and Local shear failure)
Factor of safety (F.S.) = 2.50
Depth of critical water table = 0.00 metre (at Natural Ground Level)
Net allowable bearing capacity: = qna(kN/m2)
qna = (1 / F.S.) [0.667c NcSc dc + q (Nq - 1) Sqdq + 0.5 B ɣ N ɣ S ɣ d ɣ W’]
Where,
B = Width of footing (metre)
D = Depth of footing (metre)
Φ = Angle of shearing resistance (degree)
c = Cohesion intercept (kN/m2)
ɣ = Bulk density of soil above the base of footing (kN/m3)

Page 11 of 28
q =ɣ = Effective overburden (kN/m2)
Nc, Nq, N ɣ = Bearing capacity coefficient based on initial void ratio e0
dc, dq, d ɣ = depth factors
W’ = Water tale correction factor
Shape Factors:
Sc = 1.30
Sq = 1.20
S ɣ = 0.80
Calculations based on Shear failure criteria have been provided in Appendix-E
7.2 SETTLEMENT CRITERA:
Soil strata at this site mainly consists of silty sands, hence
the settlement of the soil layers below the base of footing has been calculated on the
basis of SPT values obtained during the field Investigation
Settlement for applied pressure (Sf) = (qs x Su x df)/ (W’x100)
Where:
qs=Permissible pressure (kN/m2)
Su=Settlement for unit pressure of 1.00 kg/cm2
W’=Water table correction factor
N =Corrected average SPT value
B =Base width
D =Depth of footing
df = depth factor
The calculated values of settlements have been kept within the permissible limits of 50
mm for isolated footings and 100mm for raft footings.
Calculations based on Settlement criteria have been provided in Appendix –E

Notes:
*Ckd has been assumed to be equal to qc as both are static cone resistance. Hence the Ckd values have been obtained from Table 2
(Annexure-B) of IS 2911 P-1/Sec-2: 2010
*If N> 15 for clayey soils, then clayey soil layer shall be considered as overconsolidated as per Table 1 and 2 of IS 1893: Part-1 (2016) and In
case of overconsolidated clayey soils the compression index (Cc)is replaced by recompression index (Cr) for computation of settlement.
