1 International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research March 217 Applicability Of Standard Penetration Tests To Estimate Undrained Shear Strength Of Soils Of Imphal. Ngangbam Bulbul Singh, MTech student Manipur Institute of Technology Ningthoujam Jibanchand, MTech student Manipur Institute of Technology K Rambha Devi, Assistant Professor Manipur Institute of Technology ABSTRACT Standard penetration Test (SPT) is a common field test to predict the behaviour of coarse grained soils. However, it is used widely in all types of soil due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. This study makes an attempt to study the applicability of the existing correlations between SPT number and undrained shear strength of fine grained soils of Imphal by comparing the predicted and the laboratory values of shear strength of fine grained soils in Imphal. A correlation to predict the undrained shear strength from the SPT values for the soils of Imphal is also presented. Introduction: The SPT is a common field test originally designed to determine the relative density of cohesionless soils but is currently the most popular and economical method to empirically determine the soil strength and bearing capacity of soil. However, SPT is recommended mainly for determining strength of coarse soils and its use should be restricted to qualitative evaluation of the soil profile only in clayey soils (British Standard 27a, p). British Standards 21 states that if an empirical relationship is used in the analysis,it shall be clearly established that it is relevant for the prevailing ground condition (British Standard 21, p23). SPT is mainly useful under conditions of financial and time limitations in a project as also where obtaining undisturbed samples of soil becomes difficult. Under such conditions, various correlations of SPT number can be used to estimate the geotechnical parameters and obtain the bearing capacity of shallow foundations or carrying capacity of piles. Terzaghi was the first to realise that the penetration resistance of the split-spoon sampler could provide useful in situ test data and he, along with Harry Mohr correlated the SPT numbers with various properties of soils, including the relative density of sands, consistency and unconfined compressive strength of clays, and allowable bearing pressure on sands and clays and the first published SPT correlations appeared in Terzaghi and Peck (1948). Peck et al(1953) noted that SPT values correlated better for sands than for fine soils. Other researchers like Dé court (199), Nixon (1982), Ajayi and Balogum (1988) also correlated the field SPT with the undrained strength of fine grained soils. The influence of plasticity index on the strength was incorporated in the correlations of fine grained soils with SPT values (Sanglerat 1972; Stroud 1974; Sowers 1979; Sirvikaya & Togrol 22). The soils found in Imphal valley of Manipur, India, consists mainly of clayey or silty clay with intermediate to high plasticity(ci, CH, CI-MI). Data used in this study are collected from soil investigation reports of various project works carried in Imphal valley. The SPT values and the laboratory undrained strength obtained from laboratory tests were correlated and compared with the predicted values by various researchers. Testing method: The Standard Penetration test carried out at site is according to Indian Standard conforming to IS Standard Penetration Test Split spoon samplers attached at the ends of drill rods are lowered in boreholes at depths where the SPT is to be carried out. The sampler is driven into the soil for a distance of 4mm by blows of a drop hammer of 65kg falling vertically and falling freely from a height of 7mm. The number of blows required to penetrate every 1mm is recorded and the number of blows required to penetrate the last 3mm is recorded as SPT number N at that particular depth. The number of blows required to penetrate the first 1mm is disregarded. The SPT is carried out every 1m to 1.5m interval or whenever there is a change in the soil profile.
2 International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research March 217 Laboratory tests were carried out on undisturbed samples collected at various depths in order to classify the soils from sieve analysis, hydrometer tests and Atterberg's limits. The natural water content, specific gravity, density, undrained strength and consolidation parameters were also determined from tests conforming to relevant Indian Standards in all the projects. Results and Discussion: About 2 data from various projects around Imphal are used for analysis and undrained shear strength of these soils are predicted from the correlations given in Table 1 and compared with those obtained from the laboratory tests. It is observed that the observed values of s u fit best with those predicted by Terzaghi and Peck (1967),, and Sivrikaya and Togrol (22). These are shown in Figs. 1, 1 and 1(c) respectively.

Similar observation was made by Behpoor and Ghahramani(1989). The laboratory values, however, are lower than the predicted values even for N values less than

4 International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research March 217 The effect of plasticity of the soils on undrained strength can be observed from Figs 1 and 1(c). The correlations which include the plasticity of the soils in predicting the strength fits better with the observed values for both low and high values of SPT as is observed from these figures. A general equation to predict the undrained strength of Imphal fine grained soil without considering the plasticity of the soil can be given as s u = 4.94N (kpa) with (r 2 =.84). As the plasticity of the soil affects the undrained strength of the soil, an attempt has been made to predict the strength by categorising the soil into three groups according to their plasticity indices as those with PI<2, 2<PI<3 and PI>3. The s u versus N values of the laboratory and predicted values for PI<2 by Stroud are shown in Figs 2 and those by Sivrikaya and Togrol in 2. Similarly Figs 3 and show for 2<PI<3 and Figs 4and for PI>3. From these figures, it is seen that Stroud's relationship fits better for Imphal soils with all ranges of plasticity whereas Sivrikaya and Togrol's relationship deviates for low plastic soils. For Imphal valley soils the following correlations are proposed for three ranges of plasticity For PI<2, s u = 5.4 N (kpa) with r 2 =.88 2<PI<3, s u = 5. N (kpa) with r 2 =.747 PI>3, s u = 4.7N (kpa) with r 2 = s u =.N R² =.818 PI< Sivrikaya & Toğrol (22) PI< Fig. 2 : Relation between s u and of the laboratory and predicted values by and Sivrikaya and Togrol (22) for PI< <2PI<3 Sivrikaya & Toğrol (22) 3 2<PI<3 2 2 s u = 5.27N 1 R² = Fig. 3 : Relation between s u and of the laboratory and predicted values by and Sivrikaya and Togrol (22) for 2<PI<3 253

For the soil of Imphal, correlations for fine grained soils grouped into three categories based on their plasticity indices are suggested. However, these are not a substitute of laboratory tests and more data may be included to study the exactness of these empirical formulae.
