CHAPTER - I
1 INTRODUCTION:
1.1 In an attempt to facilitate the design of the proposed new
construction of the foundation structure of the :
HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE OVER FALGU RIVER IN BETWEEN OLD GT ROAD

TO VILLAGE CHANDA VIA BABHAN DEV JUNGLE BLOCK SHERGHATI,
DISTRICT GAYA, BIHAR
`
A subsoil investigation work was programmed by the authority and
for this work , the services of M/s. JFC Laboratories Private Limited
of Plot no.-3429, Near Mecon Colony Gate, Kathalmore Chowk,
Ranchi, Jharkhand-835303 was sought by :
M/S. ACPL GLOBAL PVT. LTD., KANPUR, UP
1.2 The scope of the soil investigation consisted of making one nos. of
bore hole at this site.
1.3 The formation at the site is to be reported for various layers presented
at their respective depth along with their thickness. This would also
include the subsoil properties for each stratum so as to come up with
the design parameters for designing foundations, the depth of
foundation and the selection of type of foundation. As the ground
water table location influences the bearing capacity of a foundation
and the method of construction of a foundation at the site, its location
has also to be found.
1.4 Soil samples both in disturbed and undisturbed condition wherever
possible are to be collected. These samples would be different
laboratory tests to obtain various properties of sub-soil formation.

1.5 The exploration of the sub-soil formation being limited to one no. of
bore hole it is suggested that due weighted is to be given to this
location only unexplored part (pires) of the area will not be considered
at the time of selecting design parameters.
CHAPTER - II
2 PROJECT DETAILS
2.1 The fieldwork consisted of one nos. of bore hole at pre-determined
location. The detail of fieldwork like depth of bore hole, date of the field
work of site are presented below in tabular form
Bore Hole / Depth of Bore Date of Date of Date of
Test No. Hole (m) Commencement Completion Completion
BH - 3 (P2) 17.00 23/05/2024 26/05/2024 12/06/2022
The fieldwork also included collection of disturbed and undisturbed

soil samples and conducting standard penetration tests at regular
intervals.
2.2 The bore holes of 150mm diameter (SX size) are initially sunk by hand
auger boring upto the water table and thereafter by rotary boring with
bentonite mud circulation.
In case rock encountered, bore holes of 150mm diameter (SX size) are
initially sunk by hand auger boring upto the refusal strata (N>100) in
line with specification. For further advancement of bore holes rotary
drilling technique is adopted upto the termination depth as directed by
the client. Drilling was done with standard G.O. type rotary drilling
machine as per IS: 6926. In this method the hole was advanced by
rotating a system, consisting of a series of hollow drill rods to the

bottom of which is attached a barrel with a TC/Diamond coring bit, by
means of a diesel operated engine.
High Level Bridge over Falgu River

2 at Old GT Road, Sherghati, Gaya
When the rod with the coring bit is rotated, downward pressure is
applied into the bottom of the hole through the hollow drill rods.
Water comes up through the annular space between the drill rods and
the bore hole and is collected in the water sump, from where it is re-
circulated. Water services the dual function of cooling the bit as it
enters the hole and carrying cutting from the bottom of the hole on its
return journey to the surface.
2.3 Ground water level in the bore holes within the explored depth below
the existing ground level was observed during boring work and also
after 24 hours of the completion of the field work.

CHAPTER - III
3 LABORATORY TESTING:
The following tests were performed in the laboratory adopting

standard practice
1 Grain size analysis.
2 Bulk Density.
3 Specific Gravity.
4 Direct Shear test.
5 Crushing strength test.
The tests were conducted as per relevant IS Specifications

CHAPTER - V
5 SOIL PROFILE AND & RECOMMENDATION
From the exploratory bore holes at the site it is observed that sub soil
formation at this site consists of cohesionless formation at surface
layer upto the depth of around 8.50m and fracture to fresh rock
observed below upto the explored depth of 17.0m. Details of the
formations along with the “N” values are shown in the field bore log
data sheets.
However, based on calculation the following Pile capacities are

suggested:
Sl. Founding Depth Pile capacity. (Ton)
No. from Scour level for 1500mm dia.
(m)
1 11.5 490.0
2 12.0 530.0
3 12.5 570.0
* Since the length of bridge is approximately 240.0m, single location's result may
not reflect for whole length of the bridge.
** Founding depth of the pile capacity should be considered from the scour depth
only, not from EGL
*** Detail calculations of pile capacities are shown in the subsequent pages.

(Chartered Engineer)

Determination of pile capacity
Considering the nature of subsoil and type of foundation to be constructed at the site deep
foundation in the form of pile
EGL = 0.000 m
Such pile can be placed at = -11.500 m (Rl)
Cut off level = 4.00 m (bgl)
Effective length of the pile shaft = 7.50 m
Max. Scour level = = -4.00 m
(Rl)
The ultimate bearing capacity (Qu) of piles is given by the following formula:
D
Qu = Ap(0.5DgNg + PDNq) +SK PDitandAsi [ Cl. No 5.3.1.1
i =1 IS:2911(PartI/Sec2)-2010]
2
Where Ap = Cross sectional area of pile toe in cm
D = stem diameter in cm
g = effective unit weight of soil at pile toe in kg/cm3
Pd = Effective overburden pressure at pile toe kg/cm3
Nq, Ng = bearing capacity factors
K = coefficient of earth pressure
d = angle of wall friction between pile and soil
Asi = Surface area of pile stem in cm2
