1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The work of sub-soil exploration for the proposed Multi purpose Sports Hall at
Kottayam for M/s. Kerala State Sports Council was entrusted to M/s. Geo
Foundations & Structures Pvt. Ltd., 6th Floor, Alpha Plaza, K.P.Vallon Road,
Kadavanthra, Kochi 682020 through M/s. KITCO Ltd.
1.2 The soil investigation and laboratory studies were carried out in November 2013.
This report summarises the investigations and furnishes suggestions for the
foundations.

The total number of blows for the next 30cm depth of penetration is
considered as SPT N values and the graphical representation of N value is
shown in graphical representation of N value.

All the samples were identified and classified as per IS: 1498-1970.
SOIL PROFILE
Soil profile for each bore hole is as given below and the location of the
borehole is as given in fig.1.
The soil characteristic of BH-1 is depicted in fig. 3. The soil from top to 9.50m is
very soft sandy clayey silt of medium plasticity. Below this a medium to dense
layer of silty sand with presence of gravel is observed upto a depth of 13.5m
followed by rock upto 14.5m. the bore hole is terminated at this depth.
The soil characteristics of BH-2 are depicted in fig.9. As per this the top 4.0m is
loose gravely silty sand of non plastic nature. From 4.0m to 14.0m very soft
clayey silt of high plasticity is observed followed by a layer of loose gravely silty
sand upto 15.7m. Rock is encountered at this depth and the borehole is
terminated at 16.3m.
7.0
From the bore logs and the soil profile it is observed the soil is very soft to soft
clay at top layers. So open square footing may not be a feasible foundation
system for the proposed structure.
7.2
RCC bored cast in situ single under reamed compaction piles taken to a
depth of 10.0m below the existing ground level can be provided as the
foundation for the proposed Indoor Stadium. The safe carrying capacities for
different diameters of piles are given below in Table No. 7.1. The load carrying
capacity of bored cast in situ under reamed compaction piles are designed
as per IS 2911(Part -3).

Alternatively, for the structures expecting more loads from super structure, Bored
cast in situ RCC piles by DMC method installed as per the relevant clauses of IS
2911 part 1/sec 2 shall be provided as the foundation. These piles have to be
taken upto a depth of about 14m to 16.0m from the existing ground level and
resting on rocky strata. The pile capacities are worked out as per the relevant
clauses of IS 2911 Part1/sec 2 as given below in Table No.7.1

The suggestions given in this report are based on the results of tests on sub-soil
samples collected from the bore-holes. If in actual execution any variation is found,
the consultants may also referred to.
