t 1.0 INTRODUCTION:
I A reasonably accurate conceptioD about the subsoil parameters of any project site is an essential
priority for proper planning and designing the foundation of the concemed structue, So that the
structue after its construction word remain safe and stable although out it's service period.
I Paying due considerations to those for Client: Md. Rezaul Karim Gong was agreed to offer
the sub-surface investigation work of the same in favor of Sugandha Soil Investigator, a well
reputed geotechnical firm in Dhaka, Bangladesh
I According to work order of representative of the clien! a detailed sub-soil study was comprising
execution of 4 (Four) number borings 61ft to 81ft deep, including the different field and
t laboratory tests, report submission etc had been undedaken and carried out by Sugandha SoiI
Investigator are responsible fot soil tests but the Reporter / Engineer is rcsponsible only for
Report, during the period of October - 2017

t 2.0 METHODOLOGY:
Sugandha Soil Investigator sent one SPT Test team for fleld test at tlrc site. According to work
order, Team Leader of SPT Test team contracted with representative of client for recognizing the

All the filed works and filed tests were conducted as per standard procedure as laid down in
follows:

ASTM specifrcation are as
t Drilling was executed by wash boring method. A hole was started by driving vertically a
4 diameter steel casing into ilre grourd to some depth and then the formation ground casing was
broken up by repeated drops of a chopping bit attached to the lower and of drilling pipe. The
t upper end of the same was forced at high pressure through pressure pipe. Forced slurry or water
emerges at high velocity through the pores of the chopping bit, and retums to the surface through
the annular space between drilling pipe and the side of the casing or hole, carrying with it the
t broken-up soil. In this way clrilling is advanced up to a level of 6" above the depth, where SPT
has to be executed.
I diarneter, is made to penetrate 18 inches, into the soil by drops of a hammer weighing 140 lbs'
failing freely for a height of 30 inches. Number of blows of hammer required for penetration of
each 6 inch length of the sampler are recorded. The number of blows for the last 12 inch
t penetration of the total 18 inch is know as the standard penetration value (N-values) as specified
by ASTM and is plotted the SPT value ofthe particular depth.
I done to prepare strata chart of soils up to the explored depth. Before collection of samples, the
hole is washed and cleaned the drill pipe with the help of an adapter and is lowered into the hole.
The sampler is then pressed down into the ground in one rapid continuous movement until the
I tube, except 4 inches from the top is filled with soil sample. Undisturbed soil samples are taken
at a depth where layer of soil is chaaged such as 8 ft 12 ft. Undisturbed soil samples are collected
r by means of thin walled sharp ended 3 inch dia. Shelby tube from the cohesive soil formation.
The collect tubes were then labeled with detailed job desigration, date and shifted to the
laboratory for testing.

7.2 Complete Grain Size AnalYsis:
The objeit of grain size analysis is to determine the size of the soil grains, and the percentage by
weighiof soil particles of different particles size, comprising a soil sample. The prgcesl consists
of elther sieve analysis or h1'drometer analysis or both. The hydrometer analysis is adopted for
sample passing sieve No. 200.
For hydrometer analysis. a ,{0 gas of the over dry sample, is thoroughly mixed with required
quantity of water in a calibrated glass cylinder. In order to avoid flocculation, a little dispersing
agent is added. The densitl' of the suspension is measured at specified time intervals, by means
of a hydrometer or special design. At any particular time the size of the largest particle
remounting in suspension at the level of the hydrometer can be computed by means of stocks
Law, wheri as he weight of the particles frnet than that size, can be computed ftom the density of
the suspension at the same level. The mixture is washed through U.S standard sieve No- 200 and
the ftaction retaiaed is &ied. The fraction retained on each sieve is weighed for calculation ofthe
Wrcentage of different fraction. The results are represented
by cumulative curves plotted on
semi Jogarithmi c grap h pape r.
thoroughly pulverized and is placed in a calibrated psychomotor. Water is poured incise the
pycno'rnetir urtil ir's top is slightly below the calibrated mark. The mixture is then boiled
lthoroughly in ordg116 sliminate all the air bubbles. More water is
tt en uiaei to the mixture ritl it over-night, the temperature is then recorded and the bottle is
wpighed.
The specifrc graviq G' is given b1':
