INTRODUCTION
MP PWD has proposed the construction of District Court Building Near IDA
Sch. No. 140 Pipliyahana Talab Indore, assigned the company ATLCPL to conduct
investigation. The observed data of field investigations and laboratory tests are
presented and used to access the nature of subsoil strata and to evaluate the soil
parameters required for the detailed design of proposed District Court Building.
M/s Apron Test Labs & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (ATLCPL), Indore under took
conducted the test at the proposed site and has collected the primary information

SITE TOPOGRAPHY
The site is located in near IDA Sch. No. 140 Pipliyahana Talab Indore. The
investigations are required for construction of District Court Building. The site is Near
IDA Sch. No. 140 Pipliyahana Talab Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. Indore is the
most important business center of central India and is known as the business capital
of Madhya Pradesh. The city of Indore covers an area of 214 square kilometers and
is It is situated at Lat, 22°42’ 27” north and long. 75° 74’ 29”The site is perched at an
average height of 565 meters above the sea level.The site lies in seismic zone – III.
The maximum Temperature during summer season reaches 44°C and the minimum
temperature during winter falls to 8º C. The humidity ranges between 90% to 20%.

AIMS OF INVESTIGATION
It has many times been experienced that not only the design of foundation is
difficult task, the pre- requisite for which are the proper site investigation, field test
and laboratory testing, but the actual construction of foundation also poses difficult
Problems. It is, therefore necessary to conduct the detail investigations at site are
essential before a design can be finalized. The object of subsurface and related site
investigations is to provide the engineer / Architect with as much information as
possible about the existing conditions, for example, the exposed overburden, the
course of a stream nearby, a rock outcrop or a hillock, vegetation and other
geological features of the area. It is equally important to know the sub soil conditions
below a proposed structure.
Page 4 of 37
The methods of sub surface investigation enable vertical sections of the strata
to be drawn and samples to be tested, on the site or in a laboratory for determining
Shear strength parameters, bearing capacity of the soils, water table, type,
classification and other geophysical information in the field. This information together
With the normal topographical survey provides the Engineer with complete details of
the site and enables him to know the complexity of natural deposits. No one method
of exploration is best for all situations. Site reconnaissance would help in deriving
program of field investigations that is to assess the need for preliminary or detailed
investigations.

SCOPE OF WORK
Page 6 of 37
FACTOR OF SAFETY
The water table has a marked influence on the bearing capacity of Silty and
Clay soil, if it rises above a level depth of which below the footing equals its width,
the bearing capacity progressively reduces until it becomes about half when the
level of water table reaches the level of the footing.

FIELD & LABORATORY TESTS
Five bore were selected by Engineer Incharge of M/s. Rupal Sanghvi Associates. In
the Five bore holes 150mm diameter borehole conducted up to the 15.0 mtr. depth
The rock drilling and rock core correction was done in accordance with IS: 6926
(1996) –Diamond Core Drilling Site Investigation for River Valley Project-Code of
Practice, and IS: 4464 (1985) Code of Practice for Presentation of drilling
Information and Core Description and Foundation Investigation. From the bore
holes, disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected for lab test. On the sample
collected, grain size analysis, Atterbergs limits, specific gravity and shear strength
test were conducted. The result of soil and rock test given in Table 1 & 5.
The Plate load test equipment was assembling in accordance with the details
given in IS: 1888 :( 1982) – Method of load test on soil. The plate load test is a field
test to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil, and the probable
settlement under a given load. The test essentially consists of applying gradual load
on a rigid plate at the foundation level for a certain period of time so that the
compression of soil indicated by settlement which is recorded with the help of two
Page 8 of 37
Plate load test conducted on Five different locations. The test was conducted
in accordance with the IS: 5249 (1992)-Method of test for determination of dynamic
properties of soil. The equipment for the test was assembled in accordance with the
details given in IS: 1888: (1982) – Method of load test on soil. The load was applied
at an interval of 2T up to 56 ton.
The settlement was recorded by the help of magnetic based dial gauges
mounted diagonally Opposite On a steel plate of 0.45m X 0.45 m Size. After plotting
the load settlement curves the ultimate bearing capacity is found by intersection of
double tangents.

DISCUSSION &INTERPRATION OF LAB TESTS
Geotechnical investigation was done at the site of District Court Building near
IDA Sch. No. 140 Pipliyahana Talab. The location of Bore Hole was decided by the
party. From Bore Holes disturbed & undisturbed samples were collected the soil
profile from Bore Holes is shown from Fig 1 to 5. Samples collected from Bore were
used for Grain Size Analysis test, Atterbergs limits, Specific Gravity, density &
moisture content was conducted in the laboratory. Direct shear test was also
conducted.

COMPUTATIONS OF SAFE BEARING CAPACITY
Box shear test in undrained condition was performed to get shear parameters. The
Safe Bearing Capacity is calculated as per IS: 6403- 1981 (determination of bearing
capacity of shallow foundations). For local shear failure the ultimate bearing capacity
is given as follows:

since φ< 28° Local shear failure shall be considered. Substituting the values of all
other parameters, SBC is calculated as 21.12 T/m2. Similarly for other cases also

Chapter 7
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
The safe bearing capacity depends many factors like type of soil, the way
of stratification, presence of water table, load coming on the foundation, type of
foundation, permissible settlements etc. The profile of the soil along index properties
and shear parameters is shown in the Table- 1A to Table 5B.
