INTRODUCTION
M/s. Ruky Projects Pvt.Ltd. Hyderabad has entrusted the work of carrying out Rehabilitation
and Upgradation of NH-18 from 57/000 to 108/850 Pileru to Rayachoti Section to two lane with
Paved Shoulder in the State of Andhra Pradesh M/s. Avani Engineering Consultancy Pvt. Ltd,
Hyderabad.
This report deals with proposed construction of Major Bridge at km. 79.600.
2.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Scope of work includes the following
Drilling of 8 No. boreholes at the proposed location as per the direction of the client.
Collection of soil samples and carrying out the relevant laboratory tests on soils and
rocks.
Conducting Standard Penetration test (SPT) within the borehole at every 1.5m depth
interval or as required.
3.

FIELD TEST
3.1.1
Boreholes
The fieldwork includes boring /drilling of 8 Nos of boreholes in soil / rock. The details of 8 No.
boreholes with respective depth of investigation are given in the table below.

The locations of boreholes are indicated in the layout plan and the same is given in
Appendix-I.
The details of boring / drilling with soil profile, reduced level, SPT-N values along with
sampling details and depth of water table are tabulated in respective borelogs and provided
in Appendix-II.
Soil samples were collected where ever possible and sent to laboratory for further tests.
Laboratory test results are provided in Appendix-III.
3.1.2
Rotary drilling
Rotary drilling technique was adopted for advancing and cleaning out borehole in overburden
soil between sample intervals. Standard penetration test (SPT) is conducted at every 1.5m
interval or at change of strata.
3.1.3
Drilling equipment
Mechanical rigs of rotary diamond Core drilling machine was used for the purpose. The rigs
are well suited for the required work. The rigs are new and well-maintained thereby good
core recovery can be achieved.
Soil Boring: The boring was advanced by rotating drill string connected by series of drill rods.
The boring diameter of 150mm was formed using a drag bit (Soil Cutter) in soil. The drag bit
cuts the subsoil at the bottom of the borehole and the soil fragments were removed by drilling
mud (bentonite) which is under circulation.
Bentonite slurry is used for stabilizing the borehole. Bentonite slurry deposits as a thin film on
the wall of the borehole during circulation and stability of borehole is derived from its
thixotropic property and the hydrostatic head of the suspension. Bentonite having liquid limit
greater than 400% is used for preparing bentonite slurry.
Rock Drilling: The rock drilling was advanced by rotating drill string connected by series of
drill rods. The formed diameter is of NX size using diamond bits connected through the
Page 3
Report on Geotechnical Investigation for proposed construction of Major Bridge at km. 79.600
double tube core barrel. The drill bit cuts the weathered / hard rock and the fragments of the
cut materials were removed by circulating fresh water. Guide casing of size NX was used
up to the weathered rock layer.
3.1.4
Sampling
The samples collected from the SPT sampler are treated as disturbed samples. Immediately
after collection of sample from the sampler, the sample was transferred to a double walled
polythene bag. A sample label (as given below) is attached and the bag is tied tightly with
thread to avoid any loss of moisture.

Standard penetration test:
This test was performed as per IS 2131-1981. The split spoon sampler was lowered and
driven under impact of a 63.5 kg load with a free fall of 75 cm for 45 cm penetration at the
bottom of the hole. Initial 15 cm penetration is considered as seating drive and number of
blows required to penetrate the sampler for remaining 30 cm (out of 45 cm mark usually
driven in soil) is recorded as N value at that depth.
If the sampler does not fully penetrate into soil, then the test is terminated after 50 blows and
corresponding penetration is noted down.
Extraction of Cores:
The core samples were extracted from the core barrels in a manner to prevent disturbances
to the core. All the pieces of cores were sequentially numbered from top to bottom. Arrows
indicating the lower end of the piece are marked on each core.

3.2
Atterbergs limits
Atterbergs limits test was conducted as per IS: 2720 (part V) -1985 on the soil samples
collected to determine the liquid limit and plastic limit.
Moisture content
Natural moisture content of the soil samples is determined as per IS 2720 (Part II) 1973
from the collected soil samples using oven-drying method.
LABORATORY TESTS (ROCK)
Density and Porosity
Density and Porosity of rock samples is determined for the selected core sample as per IS:
13030 -1991.

The code IS: 12070 1987 gives net safe bearing pressure based on classification. From Table 2 for
Massive crystalline bedrock including granite, diorite, gneiss,a net safe bearing pressure of 1000 t/m2 is
recommended for preliminary evaluation of bearing capacity.
As per IS: 12070 1987 clause 9.2 (i) for submerged condition under water table correction factor for
safe bearing pressure is 0.5.
Thus the allowable bearing pressure is = 1000 x 0.5 = 500 t/m2
As per IS: 12070 1987 clause 9.2 (iii) for fair orientation of continuous joints in the slope correction
factor for safe bearing pressure is 0.5.
Thus the allowable bearing pressure is = 500 x 0.5 = 250 t/m2
