Paper Details

This paper described the preliminary geotechnical investigation undertaken and summarizes the subsurfaceconditions encountered. It includes the details of methodology of investigation, field test results, and laboratory testresults including their analysis, recommendation of Bearing Capacity of existing soil where proposed structure is goingto be constructed.In this project the method of conducting the load test on soils and the evaluation of bearing capacities andsettlement are carried out. The paper presents the compiled data of test results of geotechnical investigation. Theobserved data of field investigations and laboratory tests are presented and used to access the nature of subsoil strataand to evaluate the soil parameters.The paperalso includes results obtained by performing standard penetration test (S.P.T.) which was carried outat regular interval in order allow the assessment of the relative in-site density or stiffness of the ground also to determinesafe bearing capacity of soil. Also by using the formulas provided by Terzaghi, Tense and I.S.6403:1981(Reaffirmed2002) the S.B.C. of the sub soil is determined and at last all the S.B.C.’s of the soil are compared so as to suggest thesafe bearing capacity of the soil.
