3. GEOGRAPHICAL PROFILE OF GUJARAT

Gujarat is a state on the western coast of India with a coastline of 1,600 km (990 mi)
– most of which lies on the Kathiawar peninsula. Gujarat was one of the main central
areas of the Indus Valley Civilization. Gujarat is bordered by Rajasthan to
the northeast, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu to the south, Maharashtra to
the southeast, Madhya Pradesh to the east, and the Arabian Sea and
the Pakistani province of Sindh to the west.
Gujarat is famous for Asiatic lions, cultural heritage, food, landscapes, Rann of Kutch
(White Desert), Statue of Unity and traditional clothing. Ahmedabad is India’s first
UNESCO accredited World Heritage City.
A) Rock & Mineral:

Almost all types of minerals are found in various parts of Gujarat. As per data
provided by ‘Industries & Mines Department, Gujarat’ total area of the State of Gujarat is
1, 96,024 sq.kms. Out of which 1, 27,000 sq. kms is rocky, which is mineral probable area.
Important minerals from industrial point of view such as limestone, chalk, china clay,
bentonite, and dimension stone like marble, granite. Carbonaceous shale occurs below
Silica Sand and Fire Clay. Silica sand & fireclay are major minerals. Bauxite is occurring
mostly in Kachchh and Jamnagar districts. Lignite is occurred in Kachchh, Bhavnagar,
Bharuch and Surat districts. China Clay found mainly in Mehsana, Sabarkantha & Kachchh
districts. Bentonite occurs mainly in Bhavnagar & Kachchh districts.
B) Soil:
Black Soil is the most dominant soil type of Gujarat. Shallow black soils have been
developed from the basaltic trap in Saurashtra and the Deccan trap in extreme eastern
part while some regions acquire soil from granite and gneiss as parent material. Medium
black soils have a basaltic trap parent material found in Sabarkantha and Panchmahal.
The districts of Bharuch, Surat, Valsad and southern part of Vadodara, and the Bhal
region have deep black soils. Bentonite which is a highly plastic clay containing
85% clay mineral is found in Bhavnagar and Kutch districts of Gujarat.
The soils found in South Gujarat and Saurashtra are predominantly clayey. In
Central Gujarat it is sandy loam to loam or clay loam to clay in midland, floodplains and
the coastal saline area. The predominant texture of North Gujarat's soil is sandy loam to
loam.
The Rann of Kutch (8 km) is a seasonally marshy saline clay desert in the Thar
Desert bio geographic region. The coastal alluvial soils are sandy clay loam to clay in
texture.

C) Rainfall & Weather:

Average annual rainfall in the state is 1107 mm, while in Saurashtra and Kutch region
it is 578 mm. Most of the rainfall occurs in state, can cause severe Floods. The plains
of Gujarat are very hot and dry in summer and cold and dry in winter. Summer is milder
in the hilly regions and the coast. Most of Gujarat receives scanty rainfall.
Southern Gujarat and the hilly regions receive heavy rainfall during the monsoons with
high humidity.
D) River:
Out of 185, Saurashtra region have 71 river basins while Kutchh region have 97
river basins. The river basins of Kutchh are very small. The Banas, Saraswati, Sabarmati,
Mahi, Narmada, Tapi Mindhola, Purna, Ambika, Vanki, Auranga, Vapi, Par, Kolak and
Damanganga are the rivers of south Gujarat, which originate in the Sahyadri. Excessive
groundwater use has led to increasing salinity ingress in coastal areas especially serious
in Saurashtra and also in Mahi, Sabarmati and Narmada estuaries.
E) Dam:
As per the Central Water Commission’s register of large dams, Gujarat has
665 large dams. 122 dams are more than 50 years old. Gujarat is the third largest dam
builder state of India after Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. One of the worst large
dam disasters in India happened in Gujarat when the Macchu dam burst.
F) Earthquake History:
Gujarat is located in the “Himalayan Collision Zone”-where Indo-Australian
tectonic plate slides under Eurasian plate-causing active fault lines beneath. The
Vulnerability Atlas of India (BMTPC, 1997) classifies Gujarat into four classes based on a
base of 10.3 million buildings recorded in the 1991 Census and BIS standard (IS: 1893
1984).
i) Kutch District located in Very High Risk Seismic Zone – V.
ii) Parts of Jamnagar, Rajkot, Patan and Banaskantha in High Risk Zone – IV.
iii) Most other parts of the State lie in Moderate Zone – III and a very small part
in Low Damage Zone – II.
iv) Earthquake risk is very high in Gujarat and the state has suffered major
earthquakes. (9 times in past 200 years).
The 2001 Gujarat earthquake was located about 9 km south-southwest of the
village of Chobari in Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District. This magnitude 7.7 shock was the
third largest and second most destructive earthquake in India over the last two centuries.

4. SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
The preliminary objective, in civil engineering, of subsoil investigation is to
determine stratigraphy & pertinent physical properties of soils underlying the site so that
a safe and an economical foundation may be designed. Soil stratigraphy is most
commonly determined by making boring/drilling and collecting soil samples (DS/UDS)
and carrying out necessary tests on these samples.
Locations of boreholes were selected in consultation of client. Data and results
obtained from this investigation will be used for design of proposed structure.
The Investigation consisted of 2 boring; all up to 10.00 m depth is summarized as,
Sr. Borehole Depth of Water

2. BH-2 10.00 Nil
The detailed bore log is provided in ANNEXURE part of this report.

a) Standard Penetration Test
The Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) (IS-2131, 1981) was carried out in the bore
hole at predetermined depths. It gives indirect evaluation of strength–deformation
characteristics of the sub soil. The test includes driving a split spoon sampler using a 63.5
kg hammer with a free fall of 750mm. The first 15cm is considered as seating drive. The
No. of blows required to penetrate next 30 cm is reported as N-value. Empirical relations
are established to correlate N-Value with the shear parameters & bearing capacity of soil.
A disturbed soil sample is collected which is used to find soil classification and properties
of soil.
If the no. of blows exceeds 50 before desired penetration is achieved, it is reported
as N- value >50 with the actual penetration achieved. N Value >50 is considered as
Refusal.

b) Sampling
Following types of samples were collected from boring like Disturbed sample,
Undisturbed Samples of soil.
i) Disturbed Samples: - Disturbed samples were collected during the boring
and also from the split spoon sampler. The samples recovered were
logged, labeled and placed in polythene bags and sent to laboratory for
testing.
ii) Undisturbed Samples: - Undisturbed soil samples were collected in thin
walled Shelby tubes and using piston type sampler as per IS-2132. The
samples were sealed with wax, labeled and transported to the laboratory
at Thaltej, Ahmedabad for testing.
c) Ground Water Table Depth: - Ground water table was not encountered in both of
the boreholes in May 2023.
5. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
The laboratory testing has been carried out in the NABL Accredited Material
Testing Laboratory. The test report is submitted in the ANNEXURE part of this report.
Also, necessary data is used for the computation of Safe Bearing Capacity.
The laboratory tests on soil samples were started immediately after the receipt of
the same in the laboratory. Tests were carried out on a number of selected soil samples
in order to acquire necessary information with regards to the physical and mechanical
properties of the soil layers and further on to evaluate and determine the parameters
required for the calculations / design of foundation.
Following laboratory tests are carried out to determine the physical and
engineering properties of undisturbed and disturbed soil samples.
i) Dry Density and Natural Moisture Content (IS - 2720, Part – II)
ii) Particle Size Analysis (IS - 2720, Part – IV, 1985)
iii) Specific Gravity (IS -2720, Part – III, 1980)

7. COMPUTATION OF SAFE BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL

a) General:
A suitable foundation for any structure should have an adequate factor of
safety against exceeding the bearing capacity of the supporting soils. Also, the vertical
movements (settlement) due to compression of the soils should be within tolerable limits
for the structure and to meet serviceability criterion.
b) Bearing capacity:
The bearing capacity of foundation is needed for designing the foundation for any
Structure. Several methods are available for the determination of bearing capacity of
shallow foundation. Here, IS method is adopted for the calculation of ultimate and safe
bearing capacity of soil.
IS: 6403-1981 provide following equation for computing Ultimate Bearing Capacity.
s= 1/FOS * ( * * * * ) + (q*( −1)* * * q )+ (0.5*( *γ* γ* γ* γ* γ* )
For local shear failure

Qs = 1/FOS*(2/3*C*Nc*sc*dc*ic) + q*(Nq-1)*sq*dq*iq + 0.5*B*ϒ*Ny*sy*dy*iy*W
Appropriate values obtained from field and laboratories were substituted in to
the bearing capacity equation given above considering assumption as provided in IS. As
this equation gives the net/ ultimate bearing capacity, allowable bearing capacity is
calculated by considering suitable factor of safety.
A sample calculation and abbreviations are also provided in ANNEXURE part of
this report.
c) Settlement:
Soils deform under the load of foundation structures. The total vertical
displacements that occur at foundation level are termed as settlement. There are various
types and stages of settlements. The ultimate bearing capacity should be examined
against settlement criterion for each site.
For the purpose of this report, the net allowable bearing pressure should be
calculated as considering soil type as cohesion less.
Foundation settlement analysis has been performed based on Standard
Penetration Test values in general accordance with IS 8009 Part-1.
Allowable Bearing Pressure restricted to 50 mm allowable settlement and various
footing size given in IS: 1904 - 1986 is calculated for respective SPT Values at its
respective depth is stipulated as under,

8. LIQUIFACTION SUSCEPTIBILITY
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated soils take on the characteristics of a
liquid during the intense shaking of an earthquake; this liquefaction potential can be
assessed using SPT Values. It depends on the soil type. Clayey soil with clay content
greater than 15% is generally not considered susceptible to soil liquefaction, sensitive,
composed of particles that are all about the same size, low plasticity and less dense soils
are more susceptible to liquefaction. Soils that have liquefied in the past can liquefy
again in future earthquakes. It is always recommended to check the zonal map of
earthquake to consider liquefaction phenomenon.
The approach suggested by Arango, Idriss & Seed (1981) has been used to evaluate
the liquefaction potential. The approach compares,
1. Cyclic stress applied due to an earthquake of given intensity.
2. Cyclic stress required to cause liquefaction.
Ahmedabad, Gujarat (Site Location) being in zone III of earthquake map of India. The soil
profile with N Values per SPT throughout 10.00 m boring, gradation, density and
cohesion are all detailed in Soil Profile Section 6.0 of this report.

9. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

This part of the report discusses the various alternatives and finally suggests the
most suitable techno economic alternative. The soil profile discussed above indicates
that all possible foundations need to be weighed to a suitable solution.
The layers are Medium to Very Dense in consistency. Hence, open type of
foundation can be recommended.
Conclusions for this report are summarized as,
1. As per table in section 7.0 of this report; the allowable safe bearing capacity of
soil, a shallow foundation is recommended.
2. Drilling depth is 10.00m for both the boreholes and Ground water table was not
observed in both of the boreholes. (May, 2023)
3. Size and shape of footing at these depths, at or below 1.50m can be adjusted
according to the convenience and suggestion of structural engineer provided
there is no disturbance to existing construction.
4. The cement concreting work in the foundation should be done in accordance
with the provision given in IS 456: 1978.
5. By the evidence of N value, clay content, gradation, cohesion; there is NO
potential for liquefaction in any of the layer/depth of this bore.
6. Open excavation should be properly planned and which is taking into
consideration the existing local condition.
7. The top soil is having NO swelling characteristics; hence it is suitable to use for
backfilling or plinth purposes.
8. Field Test & Sub Soil Exploration was carried out by AERI Laboratory as per clients
Instruction.
