given by the engineer – in – charge. The entire bore holes and tests were carried out in
the presence of the representative of site-in-charge. All locations are exhibited in site
plan.
3.2 For boring, power operated winch driven shell and auger method was adopted as per
IS: 1892-1979. Casings were used as per requirement to retain the bore holes in
position. The Bore holes were advanced up to 10.0m depth below existing ground
surface.
3.3 The standard penetration tests were conducted at 1.5m intervals during
the advancement of boreholes.
3.4 For conducting SPT, IS Code: 2131-1981 / was followed. After reaching the required
depth of test, the bottom of the bore hole was cleaned properly and spoon is properly
and centrally seated in position in the borehole. Standard split spoon sampler attached
to lower end of “A” drill rods was driven in the bore holes by means of standard
hammer of 63.5kg.falling freely from a height of 75 cm. The sampler was driven 45
cm. and the number of blows required for each 15 cm. penetration were recorded. The
number of blows for the first 15 cm penetration was considered as seating drive. The
number of blows for last 30 cm. penetration was designated as SPT ‘N’ value. SPT soil
samples obtained from standard split spoon sampler for all the above standard
penetration tests were collected in polythene bags, sealed, labeled and sent to the
laboratory for testing.
3.5 The undisturbed soil samples were collected in good quality thin walled sample tubes,
of min. dia of 100mm and length of 450mm with area ratio less than 15%. The UDS
tubes are gently pushed in soil using hydraulic push rig/gently hammering action. After
retrieval of UDS tube from the borehole, ends of the tube with sample were sealed with
freshly molten wax of minimum 20mm thick, properly labeled, marked an arrow
showing upward direction and dispatched to laboratory for testing. At site, sample
tubes were covered with wet gunny bags. When the UDS tubes were not penetrated
into the subsoil strata, it was clearly mentioned on the bore log sheet.

4.0 LABORATORY TESTING

The relevant laboratory tests were conducted on representative subsoil samples in our
well equipped laboratory. The step by step procedure of various laboratory tests are
described below
4.1 GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS
For this purpose an oven dry pulverized soil sample is sieved through the set of sieves
20mm, 10mm, 4.75mm, 2.0mm, 1.0mm, 600micron, 300micron, 150micron and
75micron. The amounts of soil retained on each sieve are noted down. The % retained,
cumulative % retained and % passing are computed by these retained weights. If the %
passing 75 micron sieve is appreciable, Hydrometer method is used to find the %
fraction of particle sizes from 75micron to 2micron.
4.2 LIQUID LIMIT
For liquid limit, Casagrande apparatus is used. For this test air dry soil sample passing
425micron is taken and mixed with distilled water to give a stiff and homogeneous paste
and is left for sufficient time for maturing in an air tight container. A portion of the above
paste is kept in the cup of Casagrande apparatus, a groove is cut with groove cutting tool

5
 REPORT ON GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

and blows are imparted by turning the handle at the rate of 2 revolutions per second. The
numbers of blows are counted till the continuous contact of the bottom of the groove
occurs. Few quantity of soil from the close portion of the groove after the contact occurs,
are taken and its water content is determined by oven drying method.
The liquid limit (wL) is computed by the equation.
WL =wN(n/25)e
Where wN =water content (% corresponding to n blows)
e=0.092 for soils with wL<50
=0.12 for soils with wL>50
4.3 PLASTIC LIMIT
For this test sample is prepared in the same way as for liquid limit test. A ball is formed of
sub sample weighting about 5 gm. This ball is rolled between the fingers of one hand and
the glass plate with pressure sufficient to reduce the mass into a thread of about 3mm in 5 to
10 complete forward and back movements. When a diameter of 3mm is reached, soil is
again remolded into a ball. The process of rolling and remolding is repeated until the thread
a start just crumbing at a diameter of 3mm.The crumbled thread is immediately transferred
to an air tight container for determination of its moisture content by oven drying method.
This water content is termed as plastic limit. (wp)
4.4 PLASTICITY INDEX
The plasticity index Ip is given by
Ip=wL –wp
4.5 WATER CONTENT
For this test the soil sample of known quantity (wm) is taken in a container.
The container with this soil sample is placed in an oven for drying at 105-110ºc for 16-24
hours. After drying the dry sample is again weighed to determine the dry weight of sample
(wd)
The moisture content is computed by the following equation:
wN = (wm-wd)/wd

6
 REPORT ON GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

4.6 DRY DENSITY & BULK DENSITY

For determination of bulk density, a sample of known volume ‘V’ is extracted from the
undisturbed sample. Its bulk weight ‘W’ and moisture content ‘wN’ is determined by
oven drying method.
The bulk density is determined by following equation
γb = W/V and dry density γ d = γb /(1+wN)
4.7 SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The specific gravity of soil sample is determined by density bottle method. For this test
5-10g (w2) sample of oven dry, cool soil is taken in 50ml capacity density bottle and its
weight is noted down. The soil is covered with distilled water and left for sufficient
period for suitable soaking. The entrapped air is removed by vacuum. The soil in bottle
is filled full with water and its weight is noted down as w 3. The mass of empty bottle
(w1) and bottle with full distilled water also noted (w4).
The specific gravity is found by the following equation.
G=w2-w1/[(w2-w1)-(w3-w4)]
4.8 DIRECT SHEAR TEST
For this test shear box test apparatus is used. The prepared specimen from
remolded/undisturbed sample is placed carefully in the box. The plain grid is kept on
top of the specimen with its serrations at right angles to the direction of shear. The
upper porous stone is placed on the grid and loading pad on the stone. The box with
specimen is gently placed in the container (water jacket). The specimen is submerged
with water. The container is mounted with the shear box and the specimen inside, on the
shearing machine. The upper part of the box is so adjusted that it touches the proving
ring. The jack is brought forward to bear up against the box container. The proving ring
dial gauge is set to read zero.
The steel ball is placed in the recess of the loading pad. The loading yoke is set in
contact with the steel ball on the loading pad. Vertical displacement dial gauge to read
zero in contact with the top of the yoke. The normal load is applied and any change in

7
 REPORT ON GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

thickness of specimen is recorded. Shear displacement dial gauge is also set to read
zero.
The locking screw is now removed and two parts of the shear box are separated by
advancing the spacing screws. The specimen is sheared at constant rate of strain. The
readings of the proving ring dial gauge are noted down every 15 seconds for the first
one minute and then every 30 seconds thereafter. The reading of change in the thickness
dial gauge and shear displacement dial gauge are also recorded at the same time
interval. The test is continued until the specimen fails. The specimen is assumed to fail
when the proving ring dial gauge starts receding or at shear displacement of
approximately 15% of the length takes place.
The soil is removed from the box and test is repeated on the identical specimen under
increased normal load. For consolidated undrained test the specimen is prepared and set
in the apparatus as above and after submergence, the specimen is allowed to consolidate
fully under normal loads. The specimen is then sheared as in undrained test. At the end
of the test, the specimen is removed and its final water content is determined. The test is
repeated on other identical specimen in similar way under increasing normal loads. For
drained test, after completion of consolidation under a particular normal load, specimen
is sheared at a slow rate to allow the pore water pressure inside the specimen may be
drained out ie completely dissipated. Final water content of failed specimen is
determined. The test is repeated on other identical specimen after consolidation under
increasing normal loads.
4.9 TRIAXIAL SHEAR TEST
For this test Triaxial Shear Test apparatus with pore pressure measurement apparatus is
used. The porous disc or plain disc, depending on the test conditions is placed on the
pedestal of the triaxial cell. The specimen is placed centrally on the disc. A correct size
membrane is fitted inside the stretcher with ends of membrane folded over those of the
stretcher. Vacuum is applied to stretch the membrane to the inside surface of the
stretcher is carefully slipped around the specimen kept on the pedestal. The vacuum on

8
 REPORT ON GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

the membrane is released. Its bottom part is rolled down into the pedestal. Depending
on the type of test porous or plain disc is placed on the top of the specimen and then
pressure pad is placed. The top part of membrane is rolled on to the pressure pad. Now
the stretcher is removed and ends are sealed with ‘O’ rings. With the properly sealed
specimen placed centrally on the pedestal, the cell is assembled, keeping the loading
piston initially clear of the pressure pad of the Specimen. The assembly is placed in the
loading frame. For unconsolidated untrained test, the bottom drainage valve (BDV) and
top
drainage valve (TDV) of cell, is closed and air release valve (ARV) is opened. The cell
is filled with water through the cell water valve CWV. ARV is closed when water
begins to escape through it. The cell pressure is raised to the desired valve and kept
constant till the end of the test.
If initially unsaturated specimen is to be saturated before the test, the specimen is
mounted in the cell with porous disc. The specimen is saturated by back pressure
saturation method. When the cell pressure is applied, the load piston rises upward, the
loading machine is operated at the anticipated rate to bring the load piston slightly
above the pressured pad of the specimen and the load measuring dial gauge on proving
ring is set to zero. The piston is brought just in contact with pressure pad by hand
operation of the machine. The axial compression dial gauge is mounted and set to read
zero. The axial loading is started at constant rate of strain. Simultaneous readings on the
load and compression dial gauges are noted down. The test is continued until a
recession of the axial load is observed. After failure, the specimen is unloaded by
reversing the loading machine, cell pressure is reduced and cell water is drained out
after opening the ARV. The cell is dismantled and the specimen is taken out rubber
membrane is removed and weight of the failed sample and its water content is
determined. The test is repeated on two more identical specimens with increasing cell
pressure. For consolidated undrained test, first the specimen is saturated by back
pressure saturation. The saturated specimen is then consolidated fully under a cell

FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

pressure. After consolidation is complete, the axial load is applied and the test is
conducted as for undrained test. The pore pressure developed during the undrained test
portion is measured by the pore pressure measuring system. After the completion of
test, pore pressure apparatus and mercury
control system is disconnected, cell is dismantled and sample is taken outside to
determine its weight and final water content. The test is repeated on three identical
specimen using increasing cell pressure for consolidation. For consolidated drained test,
the specimen is first allowed to consolidate under a confining pressure as in
consolidated undrained test. Then sample is failed under drained condition. After
consolidation is complete, the axial load is applied and the test is conducted as for
undrained test. The pore pressure developed during the undrained test portion is
measured by the pore pressure apparatus. After completion of test the pore pressure
apparatus. After completion of test the pore pressure apparatus and mercury control
system is disconnected, cell is dismantled and sample is taken outside to determine its
weight and final water content. The test is repeated on three identical specimens using
increasing cell pressure for consolidation.

4.10 CONSOLIDATION TEST

For this test a consolidation test apparatus is used. The porous stones is soaked in water
and then wiped away any excess water. One stone is placed in the central seating of the
water trough. The guide rings are attached to both ends of the specimen ring and the
specimen is gently placed on the porous stone inside the trough of consolidation
apparatus with a filter paper against each face of the specimen. Other porous stone is
placed on the top of the specimen and then over it the pressure pad and the steel ball is
placed. Now the consolidation cell is placed in position on the bed of the loading
machine. Counter balanced beam is adjusted into a level position. Settlement dial gauge
is mounted and initial dial reading is noted down. An appropriate initial pressure is
applied on the specimen and dial readings are recorded at elapsed times (0.25, 1, 2.25,

10
 REPORT ON GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FOR
CHAINAGE – 313.715 KM

4, 6.25, 9, 12.25, 16, 20.25, 25, 36, 49, 64 --------- ).After the final dial reading under
the first applied pressure, the specimen is consolidated further under successive higher
pressures. Readings of settlement dial gauge are noted down for each increment of
pressure as above. Having completed the consolidation of specimen under the
maximum pressure, ensuring that water in the trough fully surrounds the specimen,
applied pressure is reduced to zero and specimen is allowed to take up water and swell.
After 24 hours, final dial gauge reading corresponding to the end of test is noted down.
The consolidation cell is removed from the loading machine. The specimen is taken out,
cleared off the filter papers, transferred into the container and dried in an oven for
determining final water content and weight of soil solids.
