5 Proposed PROJECT Institutional Building for CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai Geotechnical Investigation Report 2.0 SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION 2.1 Scope of geotechnical investigation work for proposed building consisted of five boreholes. Borehole is to be drilled through overburden & minimum 5.00 m in bed rock. Depth of boreholes is about m from existing ground level. Objective of investigation is to find out the subsoil stratification in project area and collect data for deciding design parameters of foundation. 2.2 To meet above objectives, following items were included in the scope of work: I) Conduct standard penetration tests in-situ to obtain shear strength parameters of soil at interval of 1.00 to 1.50 metres & collect disturbed soil samples in SPT split spoon. II) Collect undisturbed soil samples from cohesive soil stratum to determine the engineering properties such as shear strength and compressibility. III) Determine ground water level in each borehole. It was also required to collect ground water sample from each borehole for chemical analysis. IV) Collect and transport selected samples in soil & rock testing laboratory and conduct relevant tests to determine engineering properties of different subsoil strata. V) Prepare a geotechnical investigation report based on the data collected from field and the results of the laboratory tests. 2.3 Fieldwork is summarised in the following table.

6 Proposed PROJECT Institutional Building for CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai Geotechnical Investigation Report 3.0 METHODOLOGY OBJECTIVE 3.1 Geotechnical investigation was planned to obtain subsoil stratification in proposed project area and collect soil, rock and ground water samples for laboratory testing to determine engineering properties such as shear strength, compressibility, along with basic soil classification of subsurface stratum. 3.2 Locations of boreholes were selected in consultation with client. Data and results obtained from this investigation will be used in design of foundation of proposed project. FIELD INVESTIGATION 3.3 For geotechnical investigation work, standard rotary type drilling rig was used. This rig is coupled with diesel engine and has tripod and all drilling accessories. Drilling rig deployed is suitable for and has arrangement for driving as well as extracting casing, boring drilling by mud circulation method, conducting Standard Penetration Test (SPT) collection of Undisturbed Soil Sample (UDS) and Disturbed or wash Soil Sample (DS). 3.4 Drilling rig was installed at each specified borehole location. Rig was stabilised by making level ground. Initially casing of adequate diameter to suit boring of 100 mm hole was lowered and boring was commenced. 3.5 Sampling in each borehole was carried out generally as per the guidelines given in the IS code. Undisturbed soil samples were to be collected and SPTs were conducted at regular intervals. Undisturbed soil samples were not collected as cohesive stratum is stiff in consistency. 3.6 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were conducted in boreholes to obtain SPT N values i.e. no. of blows of 63.5 kg hammer falling through 75 cm, required to penetrate 30 cm of SPT split spoon. This test was conducted as per IS SPT N values are correlated with the relative density of non-cohesive soils and consistency of saturated cohesive soils. This test also collected samples in the split spoon assembly, which are treated as disturbed samples. SPTs were 1.00 m to 1.50 m interval. 3.7 SPT N values are co-related with relative density of non-cohesive stratum and with consistency of cohesive stratum. Co-relations are tabulated below. Page 4

A core barrel and Nx sized bits are used for drilling and recovering rock cores. Recovered rock cores were numbered serially and preserved in good quality sturdy wooden core boxes. core recovery and Quality Designation (RQD) were computed for every run length drilled. samples have been selected based on the probable founding elevation of the proposed structure. 3.9 classification in terms of weathering and state of fractures and strength is carried out in the following manner. Tabulations given in below explain it briefly. SCALE OF WEATHERING GRADES OF ROCK MASS Terms Description Grade Interpretation Fresh No visible sign of rock material weathering; perhaps slight I CR > 90 % Slightly Weathered Moderately Weathered Highly Weathered Completely Weathered Residual Soil As per IS 4464 discoloration on major discontinuity surfaces. Discoloration indicates weathering of rock material and discontinuity surfaces. All the rock material may be discoloured by weathering. Less than half of the rock material is decomposed or disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discolored rock is present either as a continuous framework or as corestones. More than half of the rock material is decomposed or disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discolored rock is present either as a discontinuous framework or as corestones All rock material is decomposed and / or disintegrated to soil. The original mass structure is still largely intact. All rock material is converted to soil. The mass structure and material fabric are destroyed.

FOUNDATION SYSTEM 5.3 It was informed that top of basement raft is at 2.15 m from general ground level. This means minimum depth of excavation will be 3.00 m from general ground level including thickness of basement bottom raft plus PCC, water proofing treatment and other services. Stratum met with at 3.00 m depth from drilling ground level is tabulated as below. Borehole Final Depth of Stratum met with No Depth (m) Borehole 3.00 m depth BH Yellow Medium Stiff to Stiff Silty Clay BH Grey Very Soft Marine Clay BH Grey Very Soft Marine Clay BH Grey Very Soft Marine Clay BH Grey Very Soft Marine Clay 5.4 Above table indicates that at expected founding level, grey very soft Marine clay is present in all boreholes. Placing footing foundations in this stratum may cause differential settlements of footing foundations. Therefore, foundations shall not be placed in this stratum. 5.5 This stratum is followed by bed rock of weathered Basalt stratum. This stratum is present below 8.00 to m below existing ground level. Considering depth of excavation, dewatering effort and stability of excavated earth slopes, if it is not possible to excavate upto required founding depth, therefore it is recommended to adopt pile foundations as founding system for proposed structure. Pile foundations shall have to be socketed sufficiently into Page 12

15 Proposed PROJECT Institutional Building for CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai Geotechnical Investigation Report weathered Basalt. Following guidelines shall be followed while designing and placing the pile foundations. PILE FOUNDATION 5.6 Following guidelines shall be followed in the construction of pile foundation. A} Pile foundations shall be installed by suitable method. Permanent casings up to rock top level will be required. B} Longitudinal reinforcement steel rods shall be bent to L shape at bottom. Shorter arm of L at bottom need not be more than 100 mm in length. This will permit free flow of concrete through bottom. C} It is necessary to ensure proper tip zone cleaning by circulating fresh water after lowering the reinforcement cage. Concreting of piles shall be done from bottom upward only by tremie. D} Concreting shall be carried out on the same working day and bore shall not kept full of water/ Bentonite for more than 6 hours. DESIGN PARAMETERS 5.7 Following guidelines shall be followed in design of pile foundation. A} Safe Pile capacity for piles shall not exceed 4500 kn/m 2 times the pile cross sectional area. Expected diameters of piles shall be 500 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm & 900 mm. B} Safe End bearing stress = 3000 kn/m 2. C} Safe Friction stress in weathered Basalt = kn/m 2. D} Minimum rock socket length in weathered Basalt will be three times pile diameter. E} Safe vertical pile capacity and lateral load carrying capacity are tabulated below. Pile dia (mm) Safe Pile Capacity kn (T) Vertical Lateral (88) (1.16) (127) (1.60) (199) (2.36) (286) (3.25) F} Tentative Lengths of pile corresponding to each pile diameter as tabulated as below. Final length of pile shall be calculated after deducting pile cut off level (basement hnine + raft thickness) from pile lengths reported in table below. Pile dia (mm) Depth Borehole No (m) Minimum Pile Length (m) From existing Ground Level BH BH BH BH BH Page 13

16 Proposed PROJECT Institutional Building for CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai Geotechnical Investigation Report PILE TERMINATION CRITERION 5.8 While carrying out pile foundation by rotary hydraulic method following observation shall be made in rock stratum. Rotary Piling machine of 180 kn-m torque capacity will be required for this site. Following guidelines shall be followed for terminating piles in field operation. A) Unit penetration interval say 1000 mm shall be maintained constant. B) Time required to achieve standard penetration of 1000 mm shall be recorded. C) RPM of Kelly bar measure physically (for 1 full minute). D) Pressure gauge reading of applied hydraulic pressure shall be limited to 20 MPa. E) Kelly bar RPM shall be about 10/11 at the time of terminating of pile. F) Record of every 1000 mm penetration shall be maintained jointly by contractor & supervising authority. G) sample collected in every penetration shall be stored and labelled. H) After correlating with nearby borehole on meeting rock, minimum three times pile diameter shall be provided in rock. Out of this about one diameter length of socket is required in good rock. To ensure this, one diameter socket will be provided in rock requiring pressure of 20 MPa. 5.9 It is desirable to carry out routine pile load test/s shall be carried out as per IS-2911 (Part IV) for confirmation of pile capacity. Maximum test load should be one and half times the safe load. On the other hand, it is also necessary to make comprehensive check on quality. Therefore it is recommended to carry out pile integrity tests on every pile installed for this project. Method of Safe Excavation For Basement 5.10 If open excavation is carried out, minimum slope of 1V:1.5H shall be provided for long term stability in overburden soil and in rock excavation slope of 8V:1H is recommended. This does not consider stacking of excavated spoils or construction materials by the side of excavated pit. Such a thing cannot be avoided while working on field. Adjacent existing structures and approach roads shall also have to be protected during this excavation If it is not possible to carryout open excavations, it is recommended provide suitable retaining system. Technically safe and suitable scheme shall be adopted. Design of retaining scheme for basement excavation will be taken as separate consultancy assignment. Lateral Pressure on Basement Walls Page 14

17 Proposed PROJECT Institutional Building for CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai Geotechnical Investigation Report 5.12 Top layer of overburden will exert active lateral earth pressure on basement walls. Therefore, earth pressure in active condition shall be considered in addition to hydrostatic pressure in design of basement walls. Therefore, following recommended design parameters for evaluating the lateral pressures are tabulated below. Stratum Depth (m) Saturated Density Cohesion Angle of Internal Friction From To (kn/m 2 ) (kn/m 2 ) (Deg) 1. Filled up Soil Hydrostatic pressure on basement walls shall be considered up to full excavation depth. For this calculation water table is recommended at existing ground level, considering heavy rain spell in monsoon season. Uplift Pressure 5.14 It is recommended to consider ground water table at ground level. Total depth of excavation is 3.00 m, which means net uplift pressure on bottom basement raft will be kn/m 2 (3.00 T/m 2 ). Stability checks shall be carried out at different stages of constructions, considering full uplift pressure. Value of the uplift force per unit area can be defined after the analysis and suitable measures against uplift can be provided for It is also suggested to observe ground water head by drilling observation well. Observation well shall be drilled just out side the excavation line of basement. Head of water in the observation well shall be measured for predetermined time interval using piezometers. Daily record of the water head shall be maintained on site. This will provide realistic estimate of water head. DURABILITY 5.16 Based on the results of chemical analysis of water, it is clear that ground water is not aggressive but moderately corrosive to reinforcement steel. Therefore, it is recommended: 1. Use Pozzolana Portland Cement for all work till plinth beam 2. Use minimum cement content of 350 kg/m 3 of concrete with minimum grade of concrete M Adopt minimum clear cover of 75 mm to the reinforcement steel. 4. Provide approved anti corrosive treatment to reinforcement steel. October 27, 2012 Page 15
