 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT FOR PROPOSED
BUILDING AT #34/1, 1ST FLOOR, PROMENADE JUNCTION,
MEANEE AVE ROAD, SINDHI COLONY, SIVANCHETTI GARDEN,
JIGANI, BENGALURU.
1. Introduction

JAGHANADHA had entrusted us with the work of carrying out the geotechnical
investigation at JIGANI, BANGALURU, and Karnataka. The primary objective of this
investigation is to establish the geotechnical condition at the site and to evaluate the
allowable Safe Bearing Capacity for the proposed building and other engineering
design parameters through the various field and laboratory tests. This report consists
of the details about the field and laboratory tests performed and the recommendations
made based on the test results.

2. Objectives and Scope of Work

2.1. Objectives
 To ascertain the subsoil strata.
 To record the ground water level if any.
 To determine the physical and engineering properties of soil/rock samples
obtained from field investigation.
 To evaluate the allowable bearing capacity of soil/rock.

2.2. Scope of Work

The scope of work includes the following field (In-situ) and laboratory tests. The scope
of work includes both the field and laboratory tests the boreholes by manual auger
method were drilled in the construction area to obtain the sub-surface stratification.

2.2.1. Field (In-Situ) Investigations

i) 100 mm diameter boring at all places is carried out in accordance with IS:
1892 -1979 Code of Practice for sub-surface investigation of foundation by
adopting auger boring.

Page | 3
 ii) Conducting field tests such as Standard Penetration Tests as per IS 2131-
1981 at various depths in the boreholes .Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is
carried out at different depths in all the boreholes & the ‘N’ values are
recorded. The number of blows required to drive a 50mm diameter split
spoon sampler for a depth of30cm using a 63.5 kg hammer for a drop of
75cm is recorded as ‘N’ value. The results of all the penetration tests are
performed in each of the boreholes and they are shown in their respective
Bore logs.

iii) Collection of undisturbed and disturbed soil samples at specified depths for
determination of cohesion ‘c’ friction factor ‘’ and others index &
engineering properties as per IS.

2.2.2. Laboratory Testing

The scope of laboratory testing is as follows:

i) Determination of water content as per IS 2720- part 2

ii) Grain size analysis as per IS 2720 - part 4
iii) Determination of liquid and plastic limits as per IS 2720- part 5
iv) Determination of shear strength properties as per IS 2720- part 11

2.3. Report

This report comprises of soil profile, recommendations regarding allowable bearing

capacity, improvement in bearing capacity of soil/rock.

3. Results and Discussions

The subsoil strata at BH01 & BH02 Consists Of Filled Up Soil OF 1.5m & 1.5m
Followed By Brownish Yellow Silty Sand Up to an Investigation Depth Of 2.7m and
2.7m respectively and water table or seepage water was not encountered, however
ground water level may change due to seasonal variation.

The SPT tests in the boreholes confirm that the stratum is loose to Medium at shallow
depths. The N Values from SPT at various depths are given in the respective bore logs

Page | 4
Bearing capacity has been determined based on shear, and average N values as per IS
6403.The SBC calculation has been carried out for a shallow foundation by considering
the factor of safety 3.

The net safe bearing pressures so determined are tabulated below.

The Index properties of soil samples at various depths in the boreholes are indicated in
Appendix – I. The bore logs are given in Appendix II.

4. Conclusion and Recommendations

 The subsoil strata of Brownish Yellow Silty Sand till the investigated depth.

 Standing water or seepage water was not encountered at during the time of
investigation however ground water level may change due to seasonal variation.

 The SPT tests in the boreholes confirm that the stratum is loose to medium at
shallow depths

 The SBC for shallow open foundation of isolated/combined footing referred in

table1.

 If coverage area of footing is more than half of the construction area, Combined
footing is recommended

 During excavation, safe slope of 2H: 1V is suggested. If sufficient space is not

available for this slope, measures such as shoring/strutting may be adopted.

Page | 5
  Appropriate measures will be taken during excavations to ensure proper drainage
of water, including rainfall runoff and seepage flows, to prevent stagnation at the
foundation level and minimize the risk to slope stability.

 Over excavation and loosening of strata at final founding level shall be avoided & if
occurs same shall be replaced by lean concrete.

 Incorporate soling of 150mm below PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) in the

construction plan to enhance load distribution, stability, and long-term durability of
the structure.

 It is recommended that the backfilling of the foundation should be carried out with
proper compaction.

TYPE OF FOUNDATION

The type of foundation at a given Allowable Bearing Pressure is controlled by the

magnitude and type of loading.

 Individual/Combined Footing may be designed with above recommended

Allowable Bearing Pressures and All Column Footings should be proportioned
for equal settlement.

 The Area of Coverage of the footings should not be more than half of the total
Construction Area. If so, a Raft Foundation System is recommended.
