GEO-TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
1. Introduction
This geotechnical investigation report is prepared based on the site exploration and laboratory test
results carried out by MATERIAL TEST PVT. LTD., at Chyasal, Lalitpur for proposed mini stadium
of ALL NEPAL FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, Nepal. The investigation characterizes the subsurface
conditions and develops the necessary requirement for the proposed safe bearing capacity of the
foundation.
The soil investigation work was carried out on first week of August 2015. The total quantity of soil
investigation included five boreholes, each of 12 m depths as per agreement. Standard Penetration Tests
(SPT) were conducted at 1.5m depth interval to furnish the compactness of the soil strata at field.
Exploration of the subsurface conditions at various locations of proposed foundation sites and
conduct requisite in-situ tests.
Limited laboratory testing of representative samples obtained during the field investigation to
evaluate relevant engineering parameters of the subsurface soils.
Engineering analyses.
Drill logs
From the exploration record of boreholes 1 to 5 on the proposed site the soil profile of the terrain is as
follows:
After thick layer of residual sandy soil, a thick band of highly plastic stiff clayey silt with traces of fine
sand exist to the full depth of exploration in all boreholes.
In general Geology, typical lithology of formation of the Kathmandu valley is one of the large
intramontane basin developed in the lesser Himalayas, central Nepal. It consists of a thick lucastrine
and fluvial deposits of fine and coarse sand, sandy loam, peat, sandy silty clay, carbonaceous clay, sand
and gravel, all of which are more or less consolidated. The maximum thickness of these sediments is
over 600 meter in some places. Recent drilling in these sediments has shown that the subsoil of central
part of Kathmandu Valley is very soft to very dense up to a depth of about 20 meter.
As per the Geological map of Kathmandu valley, the project site lies in the Kalimati formation. The
Kalimati formation consists of grey to dark silty clay and clayey silt, at places calcareous and
phosphates minerals (vivianite). Organic clay, fine sand beds and peat layers are common. Ocassionally
lignite seems upto 2 m. The thickness of the formation is as high as 450 m or more at places.
Project Site
3. Geo-technical Exploration
Geological condition/stratum at the test site is important aspect to determine the depth, size and types of
foundation. Standard Penetration Tests carried out in different depths can give appropriateness of the
densification of the soil strata, ground water table, cavities and changes in strata are major aspect of
drilling.
As in general, drilling area lies on sandy strata followed by clayey soil, Drilling team have been
mobilized with percussion drilling rig. Safety mechanisms were developed for technical team and
workers.
3.1 Boring
The drilling works were carried out using single set of Percussion Drilling Rig. The diameter of
borehole at all the locations of the building site used was of 6 inch. The boreholes were logged
continuously in the field. The borehole logs included visual classification of soil, records of SPT for
penetration of 450 mm was reached and records position of water table. The field boreholes records
were updated after completion of laboratory investigation works. The updated borehole logs for site are
presented in Appendix including general ground water table.
Groundwater was monitored on drilled hole 24 hours after completion of drilling works.
Sampling
Before any disturbed samples were taken, the boreholes were washed clean to flush any loose disturbed
soil particles deposited during the boring operation. The samples obtained in the split spoon barrel of
SPT tube during SPT tests were preserved as representative disturbed samples. The disturbed samples
recovered were placed in air-tight double 0.5 mm thick transparent plastic bags, labeled properly for
identification and finally sealed to avoid any loss of moisture. Only then, the samples were
transportation to the laboratory for further investigation.
The field test conducted at the site consisted of Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Sounding test such as
SPT are methods for measuring soil characteristics of relative density and strength simply and quickly
by penetrating, rotating resistance into the ground and pulling out it onto the ground.
Penetration tests were executed through all strata. Sounding test data were used to estimate soil strength
parameter, subsoil distribution and possible existence of soft layer.
SPT Test
A standard split barrel sampler was used in the test. The SPT tests were conducted in all the boreholes
of the site at a depth interval of every 1.5, as per soil condition. The driving of split-spoon was recorded
at each 150 mm interval till the total penetration was 450 mm. The number of blows recorded for the
first 150 mm of penetration is disregarded. The number of blows recorded for the last two 150 mm
intervals are added and expressed as SPT N-value. The records of the SPT values obtained are
presented in borehole logs in the Appendix.
The recorded SPT values are without any correction of overburden pressure and water table. The test
was conducted without using liner. The maximum rod length used was 12 m.
In order to identify the physical characteristics and mechanical properties of soil, undisturbed samples
and disturbed samples are collected and laboratory soil tests were performed.
All the requisite laboratory tests were carried out in accordance with IS standard specifications.
Standard laboratory test was carried out to characterize the soil strata. The laboratory testing is included
the following tests: Moisture Content, Grain Size Analysis, Bulk Density, Specific Gravity, Atterberg
Limits. At least two sets of samples or each sample from each layer were selected as a representative
samples and tested as per standards.
Generally, at least two sets of soil samples were selected assuming at least two in situ layers and
conducted laboratory tests from each borehole in order to discern the shear related strengths and stress-
strain responses of soils. All of the laboratory tests were numbered sequentially. The test number and
the prefix were used as test and specimen identifiers.
Direct shear tests were conducted on disturbed samples collected from the all five boreholes. The
samples were carefully extruded from the sampling tubes and molded using standard moulds of 6.0 x
6.0 cm² cross-sectional areas and trimmed to 2.5 cm high. Solid metal plates were placed on both
surfaces of the samples to prevent the dissipation of pore water during shearing. The direct shear
equipment is mechanically-operated and shearing will be applied at more or less constant strain rate. If
the samples are cohesive they will be sheared at a relatively fast rate (duration of tests less than 10
minutes) to maintain un-drained condition. The samples were sheared at three different normal stresses.
The direct shear test results are presented in terms of the failure envelops to give the angle of internal
frictions (Ø) and the cohesion intercepts(c).
Unconfined compression tests were carried out on cylindrical specimens extruded from the undisturbed
sampling tubes. The specimens are of 38 mm diameter and 76 mm height. A strain rate of 1.2 mm per
minute was adopted in all the tests and the samples were brought to failure in less than 10 minutes to
maintain undrained condition.
Consolidation tests
Consolidation tests were conducted on clayey undisturbed samples abstract with a help of undisturbed
sampling tube. Consolidation tests were performed on undisturbed samples of 60 mm diameter and 20
mm thick. Two-way drainage was provided. Each increment of load was maintained until sufficient
period beyond the primary consolidation has been reached. The test results are presented in terms of the
e-log curves in the attached figures.
5. Seismicity
Many earth scientists believe that longitudinally the entire 2,400 km long Himalayan arc can be
segmented into different individual parts (200-300 km) which periodically break and move separately
and produce mega earthquake (catastrophic earthquake) in the Himalayan region. From east to west, the
great earthquake of Assam, India (1950), Shilong, India (1897), Nepal-Bihar, India (1934) and Kangra,
India (1905) are the mega-earthquakes of the last century produced by the movements in different parts
of the Himalayan arc, all with magnitude around 8.0 - 8.7. When a sector of the Himalaya moves and
produces earthquakes, it will take some time (from decades to century) to repeat the event at the same
place. Nepal is prone to an earthquake of minor or major magnitude. Records of earthquakes since 1253
indicate that Nepal was hit by 16 major earthquakes - the 1833 (magnitude 7.9) and 1934(magnitude
8.3) are two of these which have occurred at an interval of 100 years. Statically, the earthquake
occurrence data of the last century shows that in average Nepal was hit by a big earthquake in every 12
years (Nakarmi, 1997).
Statistics shows that 1934 earthquake was the severest for Kathmandu valley where significant damages
to the lives and properties were observed. Buildings and other structures built on thick soft soils are
very vulnerable to the force of earthquake as compared to the structures built on top of hard rocks. Due
to the thick soil cover, during an earthquake, the structures in the Kathmandu Valley are shaken very
strongly than the structures in the surrounding hills with rocky base.
Now-a-days, earth scientists are most concerned about the lack of occurrence of any great earthquake
between Kathmandu in the east and Dehra Dun, India in the west during the past many centuries, and
have named it the CENTRAL GAP. It is most likely that this segment of the Himalaya is due for a
major break to trigger a mega-earthquake in the Himalaya. It is even suspected that it may be the
greatest earthquake that we have so far experienced in the Himalaya in the past few centuries. The area
closer to the epicenter will suffer the maximum damage.
To counteract earthquake effect due consideration has to be taken in the structural design of buildings.
The project area is located in the area having Seismic Zoning Factor, Z, equal to 1. According to the
Seismic Hazard Map of Nepal prepared by National Seismological center, Departments of mines and
geology, Nepal, Kathmandu is highly liquefiable zone, which may experience maximum ground
acceleration of 200 gal to 250 gal, whereas as per Building Department Memorandum for Multistory
Building it must be > 360 gal ≈ > 0.36g.
5.1 Liquefaction
Saturated loose to medium dense cohesionless soils and low plastic silts tend to densify and consolidate
when subjected to cyclic shear deformations inherent with large seismic ground motions. Pore-water
pressures within such layers increase as the soils are cyclically loaded, resulting in a decrease in vertical
effective stress and shear strength. If the shear strength drops below the applied cyclic shear loadings,
the layer is expected to transition to a semi fluid state until the excess pore-water pressure dissipates.
As proposed project corridor lies on highly susceptible zone of liquefaction based on Liquefaction
Hazard Map of Kathmandu Valley Floor Area (1193, DMG & UNDP/MoHPP), detail analysis was
performed based on “Design Guide AGMU Memo 10.1 - Liquefaction Analysis-January 2010”.
Figure 11: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment Map of the Nepal Himalaya
The present site consists of sandy strata and the ground water table???? (may be confined seepage
water) being encountered typically at nearly 2 m below general ground level, so site may be susceptible
to liquefaction. Thus liquefaction potential analysis is performed for the site.
Project Area
Based on Seismic Hazard Map of Nepal prepared by National Seismological center, Departments of
mines and geology, Nepal, Kathmandu is highly liquefiable zone, which may experience maximum
ground acceleration of 200 gal to 250 gal, whereas as per Building Department Memorandum for
Multistory Building it must be 360 gal ≈ 0.36g.
Liquefaction potential analysis for the project sites was carried out based on the soil data obtained from
the soil investigation.
The “Simplified Method” described by Youd et al. (2001) as well as refine ments suggested by Cetin et
al. (2004) was used to estimate liquefaction potential as contained herein. The simplified method
compares the resistance of a soil layer against liquefaction (Cyclic Resistance Ratio, CRR) to the
seismic demand on a soil layer (Cyclic Stress Ratio, CSR) to estimate the FS of a given soil layer
against triggering liquefaction. The FS for each soil sample should be computed to allow thin, isolated
layers to be discounted and the specific locations and extent of those determined liquefiable to be
indicated in the SGR and accounted for in design. An Excel spreadsheet that performs these calculations
has been prepared to assist a liquefaction analysis.

MSF = magnitude scaling factor = 87.2(Mw)
Fpga = site amplification factor for zero-period spectral acceleration (LRFD Article 3.10.3.2)
o Project site is susceptible towards liquefaction, based on MAP prepared by Department of Mines
and Geology, Peak Bed Rock Acceleration for Kathmandu Valley is around 200-250gal.
o Based on LRFD Article 3.10.3.2, for proposed area soil Fpga (site amplification factor for zero-
period spectral acceleration) is around 2.0.
o In this regards, based on modern research and experience on this kind of soft soil, it is better to
consider 400 gal as a design horizontal peak ground acceleration during liquefaction analysis.

The allowable bearing pressure (qa) is the maximum pressure that can be imposed on the foundation soil
taking into consideration the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil and the tolerable settlement of the
structure. Analysis to determine the ultimate bearing capacity and the pressure corresponding to a
specified maximum settlement were performed and the minimum pressure obtained from the two
analyses were adopted as the allowable bearing pressure.
The SPT values have been corrected in accordance with the proposal of Skempton, (1986) and Liao and
Whitman (1987) as outlined below with consideration of field procedure, hammer efficiency, borehole
diameter, sample and rod length.
N60 = Em CB CS CR N/0.60
Em = Hammer Efficiency
CS = Sample Correction
Em =0.55 for hand drop hammer, due to lack of true verticalness and proper speed of SPT blow
CR =0.7 for rod length 0.00 - 2.99, =0.75 for rod length 3.00 - 3.99 m,
=0.85 for rod length 4.00 - 5.99 m, =0.95 for rod length 6.00 - 9.99 m,
The correction for values of N should be made for the field SPT values for depths. Modified correction
in 1974, peck, Hanson and Thornburn with suggested standard pressure of 100 kN/m 2 corresponding to
2
a depth of 5 m of soil with bulk density 20kN/m can be represented by the following equation:
(N1)60 = N60 Cn
Cn=0.77log(2000/p0)
The correction for values of N greater than 15 in fine sands below water level is as follows;
This correction is due to the fact that higher values are liable to be recorded due to pore pressure.
Since the soil in the vicinity of the foundation level has been found to be granular or non-plastic,
cohesion less sand at upper depth and low plastic cohesive silt at intermediate depth, the allowable
bearing capacity has been analyzed using the angle of friction and cohesion values from direct shear test
results. Empirical formula of Indian Standard IS 6403:1981 is applicable for this type of soils has been
used to obtain the ultimate bearing pressure.

In case of lack of high accuracy on field and lab works, SPT/CPT methods proposed by Schmertmann
Hartmann and Meyerhof, modified by Bowels are used. The semi empirical strain influence factor
method proposed by Schmertmann and Hartmann (1978) is as follows:
C2 = a correction factor to account into creep in soil = 1+0.2 log (time in year/0.1)

For working out a safe load carrying capacity of the pile, a factor of safety of 2.5 and 4 is adopted.
Corrected SPT value beyond 20m depth of exploration is assumed to be equal with SPT of
19.5m depth and assumed clayey soil from 20 m depth with SPT N equal 10 and increased
slightly with depth based on general experience and records of the drilling team, as there is
medium soft to stiff clayey silt exits to hundreds of meter depth at Kathmandu valley.
In between two tested samples, properties of soil in middle sections were interpolated as
relevancy of data. And design data were interpolated between semi empirical data form field
test and lab test results.
Some of input and output data were refined as per relevancy with correlated data.

6.5.4 FINDINGS
o Project site is susceptible to liquefaction, based on MAP prepared by Department of Mines and
Geology, Peak Bed Rock Acceleration for Kathmandu Valley is around 200-250gal, and estimating
with amplification factor of 2, design maximum horizontal acceleration is around 400gal.
o Sandy soil followed by stiff high plastic clayey silt strata lies on project site within drilling depth
o Project site is highly susceptible towards liquefaction, to a depth of 4.5 m from general ground
level.
Recommendation
o From geo-technical point of view, the proposed stadium block could be constructed with
proper design of sand compaction pile or with pile foundation.
o Else, considering the allowable settlement of 125 mm, the recommend gross allowable bearing
capacity of soils for 30 m × 30 m size Raft or Mat foundation at or near particular boreholes at
5.0 m below general ground level is 96.00 KN/m2. The recommended ABC is in safer side, which
is within a settlement of 125mm.
See Page 21, 22, 23 for Recommended ABC other than stated
For large raft footing covering multiple hole (1-5), refer table 6.5.4.1
o As per the Engineering and Environmental Map of Kathmandu valley, the project area lies in an
area which is moderate to high hazardous from liquefaction potential point of view. Evaluation of
the site utilizing N-Value method shows that the site is potential for liquefaction up to a depth of
4.5 meter from existing ground level, for a value of 0.4g as the maximum ground acceleration at
the surface.
o The foundation design Engineer needs not strictly follow the depth and dimension of foundation
selected in the bearing capacity analysis of this report. He is free to select any other dimension and
greater depth depending upon the load of the structure. However, Allowable bearing capacity
depends on many variables such as adopted allowable settlement, type of foundation, size and
depth of foundation, importance of structure, cost of the project etc. Hence based on parameters
obtained from this investigation provided in this report, calculations need to be refined during
design phase.
Important Notes;
o The recommendations and discussions presented in this report are based on the sub-surface
conditions encountered during the site work at the time of investigation and on the result of the
field and laboratory testing on samples obtained from limited number of boreholes. There may be,
however, conditions pertaining to the site which have not been into account due to the limited
number of boreholes.
o The ground water levels indicated on the logs of borings represents the measured levels at the time
of investigations and immediately 24 hour after completion of drilling works, which may be
permanent water table or seepage water from nearby small pouch of fractured/weathered strata.
o It should be noted; however, that ground water levels are subject to variation caused by flood and
weather seasonal variations and by changes of local drainage and or pumping conditions, and may
at the times be significantly different to those measured during the investigation.
o Because of presence of seepage water and probable rise in water table in summer, side fall
(collapse) is eminent. So, at the time of construction of foundation, it is strongly recommended to
design the appropriate site protection measures based on the soil properties shown in this report.
o Probable presence of organic matter, sulphate and acid content in the soil, have adverse effect to
the reinforcing bar in the foundation. It corrodes the steel, thus shortening the life of the
foundation. To protect the foundation reinforcement from this undesired effect by these chemicals,
a cover of 75mm thick rich concrete mix to the rebar at base and sides is recommended.
o As described in the chapter SEISMICITY in this report, Nepal is very sensitive to experience very
strong earthquake sooner or later. Therefore the Foundation design Engineer must pay due
attention on seismic forces; it is recommended to follow the seismic design code NBC: 105-1994
for analysis and design of the building.
o PGA value used on this analysis report is based on a map prepared by Department of mines and
Geology, Nepal, which was only preliminary indication, due to lack of sufficient data, which
cannot forestall some diverse situation if large earthquake occur in nearby area.
o Conventional excavation equipment such as excavators, loaders and bulldozers will be sufficient
for most of the excavation work. Every effort should be done to avoid soil disturbance at
foundation level.
o Where space permits, the sides of the excavations shall be battered to a slope of two vertical and
one horizontal (2V: 1H) to avoid collapse. If these recommended side sloped cannot be achieved
for insufficient lateral space or for any other reason, lateral support system (shoring system) for the
sides of the excavation will be required and should be considered to maintain safe working
conditions.
o It is expected that the excavation work for shallow foundation (Raft) and Pile cap will be below the
water table, so dewatering is required. Experience has shown that small close-boarded excavation
can be conveniently dealt with by conventional sump pumping techniques. However, if larger
excavations (More than 2m) are to stand open for considerable period, the installation of
dewatering system along with protection wall (Sheet Piles, Contiguous Pile, Soldier pile) may
be required.
o Specialist contractors should be consulted in this regard during construction. Care should be taken
during dewatering to ensure that fines are not removed during pumping since this could result in
unpredictable settlements of the surrounding ground and associates structures.
o It is recommended that proper and efficient surface drainage be provided at the location of the
structures both during and after construction. Surface water should be directed away from the
edges of the excavation.
o The materials to be used for backfilling purposes shall be of selected fill composed of sand and/or
granular mixture free from organic matter or other deleterious substances. The plasticity index of
the backfill material shall not exceed 10 percent. It shall be spread in lifts not exceeding 25cm in
un-compacted thickness, moisture conditioned to its optimum moisture content, and compacted to
a dry density not less than 95% of the maximum dry density as obtained by modified proctor test
(ASTM D-1557).
o With prior approval from project directorate specific geotechnical designs are allowed to adjust as
per actual soil observed during construction works on specific.
o This report must be read in conjunction with all of the attached and should be kept in its
entirety without separation of individual pages or sections. This report, or sections from this
report, should not be used as part of a specification for a project, without review and
agreement by Material Test Pvt Ltd. This is because this report has been written as advice
and opinion rather than instructions for construction.
