1. INTRODUCTION
The work of sub-soil exploration in connection with 4 laning of existing NH 31 from
Ghoshpukur to Bagdogra, in the District of Darjeeling, West Bengal was awarded to M/S.
GEOTEST ENGINEERS PVT. LTD. of 6A, Milan Park, Kolkata - 700 084 by the EPC
Contractor TOPLINE INFRA PROJECTS PVT. LTD. & GANESH RAM DOKANIA of 203,
Vasudeo Vihar Apartment, Nageshwar Colony, Boring Road, Patna - 800 001(Bihar). The sub-
soil investigation purpose was to determine the sub-soil condition and to ascertain the
foundation types that would be suitable in connection with 4 laning of existing NH 31. The
Fieldwork was done in the month of July, 2018.

2. SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
In an attempt for optimization in the design of foundations of various structures like minor
bridge ROB, VUP, culvert etc for 4 laning of existing NH 31 at this site, geotechnical
investigation programme had been divided mainly into two parts, like, field works part
unfurling the sub-surface deposit types and their states of occurrences in-situ and laboratory
tests part which would help to determine the relevant the geotechnical properties of the sub-
surface deposits leading to finalization of foundation type and foundation design bearing
capacity with particular reference to the sub-surface deposit types and their strength
parameters and settlement potentials in-situ. The scope is summarized as follows: -

(a) Sinking 1 (one) number, 150 mm. & 75 mm dia., (for sand, Silt, clay portion only)
exploratory drillhole, with termination depth of about 10.00 m below E.G.L. at prefixed
location at the site. The drillhole number, depth & location was finalized & fixed by the
EPC Contractor. For location of the exploratory drillholes please refer ‘Drillhole
Location Plan’ at the Annexure of this report.

(b) Collection of representative 100 mm dia. undisturbed soil samples as per the provisions
as laid down in IS: 2132 (1972) as well as representative disturbed soil samples from
the exploratory drillhole for carrying out detailed laboratory analysis which would help
adoption of strength, settlement and other relevant parameters of the sub-surface
 :: 4 ::

deposits for finalization of foundation type and thereafter for design of foundations of
the pertinent structure.

(c) Carrying out standard penetration tests as per the provisions laid down in IS: 2131
(1981) in the drillhole and subsequently maintaining penetration chart, depth-wise, upto
the test depth in the exploratory drillhole at this site.

After completion of the above-mentioned field works, the appropriate laboratory tests, as were
applicable to the sub-surface deposit types which were encountered at the explored location,
were conducted to determine the relevant geotechnical properties of the sub-surface deposits
and subsequently to ascertain the SBC of shallow on deep foundation.

3. FIELD WORK
A brief description of boring method, field tests, sample collection etc. and type of equipment,
are furnished below.

3.1 Rig
The entire fieldwork was obviously done by deploying single number of rig.

3.2 Boring & Drilling

Boring through the soil (sand, silt & clay with some gravels) was carried out by Shell & Auger
boring technique upto the termination depth below E.G.L. in the drillhole by Mechanically
Power-Driven Winch, by providing casing throughout the explored depth. Drilling in gravel /
boulder deposit was done by using rotary cutting tool, tipped with diamond to recover cores.
Drillhole size was NX.

3.3 Representative Sample

Representative samples were collected from auger, S.P.T. sampler and cutting shoe of
undisturbed sampling assembly. This was done to maintain a continuous record of strata
encountered. The samples were labelled and placed in airtight polythene bags and shifted to the
laboratory for testing and classification.
 :: 5 ::

3.4 Standard Penetration Test (S.P.T.)

This test was conducted at the drilling points at suitable intervals. The number of blows
required for last 30.00 cm penetration of split spoon sampler out of a total penetration of 45.00
cm driven by a 63.50 kg hammer falling freely through a height of 75.00 cm was recorded as
‘N’ values. The sample from split spoon were collected after each test and were labeled and
placed in air-tight polythene bags before sending to the laboratory for identification and
testing. The test procedure was performed to IS: 2131 (1981) (Reaffirmed 1987). The Split
Spoon Sampler was as per IS: 9640:1980 (Reaffirmed 1987).

3.5 Undisturbed Samples

Undisturbed samples were collected as per I.S.2132 (1986) by means of a two tier 100.00 mm
I.D. open driven sampling assembly having area ratio of 15 %. The sampling assembly (as per
I.S. 11594: 1985) was driven to the required depth manually with the help of jarring link.
Samples collected in the lower tube were retained, labelled and waxed at both ends before
sending it to the laboratory.

For proper identification and classification of the sub-surface deposits and for deriving
adequate informations regarding its relevant physical and the geotechnical properties at the
site under investigation, most or all of the following laboratory tests pertaining to the actual
soil types, occurring at this site, were conducted on the representative soil samples, collected
from the exploratory drillhole.

6. DEEP FOUNDATIONS: R.C. BORED PILE

The load carrying capacities of R.C. Bored Piles, for various dia., are calculated on the basis of
I.S. Code of Practice of design and construction of pile foundations, IS: 2911 (Part I / Sec 2) –
2010.

Using the static formula,

For piles in granular soils

Qu = Ap (1/2 D N + Pd Nq) +  K Pd tan  As [I.S. 2911 (Part I / sec-2)-
2010, Annex -B: clause 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.2],
Where, Ap = Cross-sectional area of pile toe.
D = Stem diameter.
 = Effective unit weight of soil at pile toe.
Pd = Effective overburden pressure at pile toe.
As = Surface area of pile shaft.
N, Nq = Bearing capacity factors depending on .

For piles in cohesive soils

Qu = Ap Nc Cp +   C As [I.S. 2911 (Part I / sec-2)-2010, Annex -B:
clause 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.2],
Where, Ap = Cross-sectional area of pile toe.
Nc = Bearing capacity factor = 9.0.
Cp = Average cohesion at pile toe.
 = Reduction factor.
C = Average cohesion throughout the length of pile.
As = Surface area of pile shaft.

N.B.: These are the geotechnical capacities of pile derived from sub-soil properties, not the
structural capacities. If the geotechnical capacity exceeds the structural capacity, design is
obviously to be based on structural capacity.
Pile is considered to be fixed head and considering Grade of Concrete to be M35.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

From the information as supplied by the client, it is known that there is a proposal for the
construction of a MNBR at the site. However, whatever be the type, height and nature of the
Structure, its foundation design should satisfy two basic criteria. They are as follows:

(a) There must be adequate factor of safety against shear failure.

(b) The settlement of footings must be within permissible limits as defined in IS: 1904 (1986).

Considering the above mentioned criteria & subsoil condition in the entire site, it is suggested to
use deep foundations in the form of R.C. Bored Piles, the load capacities of which are provided in
TABLE 2, of pervious chapter, for foundation design purpose.

For R.C. Bored Piles, if used, the entire job is to be done as per relevant provisions of IS: 2911
(Part 1 / Sec 2), 2010.

For R.C. bored piles, to be provided, while considering the seismic effect, the pile load capacities,
as given in TABLE 2, may be increased by 50 % for skin friction component below 1.50 m. depth
as per Table 1 (clause 6.4.2.1) of IS: 1893 (Part I): 2016.

No local information regarding highest position of ground water table during Monsoon was
available from the site. However, for design purposes, it is advisable to consider the worst possible
condition of standing water level to merge with E.G.L., which has been done in present case.
Hence our results deep foundation, as given in TABLE 2, will not be affected by fluctuation of
Ground Water Table position, since those were determined under worst condition.
 : : 15 : :

Last but not the least, due considerations should be given to open excavation of any sort. All sorts
of precautionary measures like earth retainment by any suitable method, are to be adopted to
avoid excessive ground settlement and damage to adjoining structures.
