CHAPTER-ONE
1. INTRODUCTION :
Medway Consultancy Services (UK) Ltd. appointed SURVEY2000 to carry out Geotechnical
investigation for the existing buildings at Ibrahim Knit Garments (Pvt) Ltd at Siddhirgonj,
Narayangonj, Bangladesh.
The investigation works including execution of 03 (Three) borings up to 21.0m depth from the
existing ground level and execution of SPT test, collection of disturbed and undisturbed sample
at specified depth under consideration, record of ground water level, In-situ Vane shear test,
Trial pit excavation and logging etc. All of these items of the field investigation have
subsequently been followed by the performance of laboratory tests. Details of the finding as
reported from the above test works are provided in the following articles.
1.2 LOCATION :

Soil sample in the disturbed state have been extracted from the each 1.5m depth of each
boring using split spoon sampler. These soil samples after extraction, have duly been classified
in situ, in order to reconstruct a depth wise stratification chart of the each bore hole.
As both of the physical and the engineering properties of the soil are greatly affected by the
disturbance of the soil sample, soil sample in the undisturbed state are generally preferred in
collection in order to perform certain laboratory tests which eventually help to evaluate the
bearing capacities as well as Geotechnical observations. Undisturbed soils are collected from
cohesive strata.
Standard penetration tests were executed at each 1.5m interval in all the bore holes with the
simultaneous collection of the disturbed soil samples. The tests were executed by using a split
spoon sampler of 50mm outer dia. and 37.5mm inner dia. attached to the lower end of the
drilling rod. 63.5 kg hammer was allowed to fall freely from a height of 760mm. The blows of
the hammer drove the spoon into the soil up to 450mm. The nos. of blows required for each
150mm of penetration of the spoon was recorded. The number of blows required for last
300mm of penetration of the spoon was entered into the bore chart as being the standard
penetration test results.
After completing the field investigations the level of ground water in each of the bore hole has
been recorded by a measuring tape and found within a variable depth measured from the
existing level of the ground. These are apparent level of ground water formed by the entrapped
surface water.
Trial pits at selected locations were excavated at depth of foundation (Df) from existing ground
level. The sizes of the pits were 1500mm x 1500mm. Temporary support for the walls of the
excavation was installed during the excavation. After completion the pits were back filled
properly.
Hand Held Shear Vane Tests was performed for specified cohesive soil. Vane dimensions
Height 150mm, Diameter 75mm). Test carried out into the bottom of the foundation in presence
of MCS’s Representative immediately after exposure.

CHAPTER-TWO
Geologically the project area is located in the Geosynclinal part of Bengal Basin. The land forms are
characterized by many different geomorphic cycles and are controlled by numerous tectonic waves.
The area lies in the North side of Shitalakkhya River bounded by the Ganges flood plain in the
south-west. The Brahmaputra flood plain in north, the Brahmaputra-Meghna flood plain in the east,
the Jamuna flood plain in the west.
The type and color of soil, variation of soil particle size, etc has been observed closely and
compared with the geological map of Bangladesh .From this, the above area comprises with fine
SAND, medium plastic CLAY and non plastic SILT of Recent Alluvium.
The Subsurface geology of the proposed project area has been revealed using 03 borehole logs of
the project site. The maximum depth of the borehole is 21.0m from the existing ground surface.
Mainly three soil layers were observed in the studied site such as; Medium stiff to stiff non-plastic to
low plastic sandy SILT, Soft to very stiff medium plastic CLAY and medium dense silty fine SAND.
The stratigraphy of the project area is given in the table below.
One number of stratigraphic cross-section along the borehole 01, 02 & 03 was done to get the
detailed idea of sub-surface condition of the project area.

Shallow foundation:
The SPT is widely used to obtain the bearing capacity of soils directly. One of the earliest
published relationships was that of Terzaghi and Peck (1967). This has been widely used, but
an accumulation of field observations hits shown these curves to be overly conservative.
Meyerhof (1956, 1974) published equations for computing the allowable bearing capacity for
a 25-mm settlement. These could be used to produce curves similar to those of Terzaghi and
Peck and thus were also very conservative. Considering the accumulation of field observations
and the stated opinions of the authors and others, this author adjusted the Meyerhof equations
for an approximate 50 percent increase in allowable bearing capacity to obtain the following:
qa = Kd B F4
qa = )2Kd B F4
F factors as follows:

Based on Terzaghi’s bearing capacity theory, column load P is resisted by shear stresses at
edges of three zones under the footing and the overburden pressure, q(=γD) above footing.
The first term in the equation is related to cohesion of the soil. The second term is related to
the depth of footing and overburden pressure. The third term is related to the width of the
footing and the length of shear stress area. The bearing capacity Nc, Nq, Nγ are function of
internal friction angle φ.Terzhagi’s bearing capacity equationsare given below.
SURVEY 2000 Page 9
Geotechnical Investigation Report for Ibrahim Knit Garments (Pvt) Ltd at Siddhirgonj, Naryangonj August 2014
Gross ultimate bearing capacity of a footing is defined as the pressure that can be supported
at the base of the footing. The bearing capacity of a footing is given by
qd’ = cNc + γDf
where,
qd’ = Gross ultimate bearing capacity
c = Cohesion of the subsoil
Nc = Dimensionless bearing capacity factor
γ = Unit weight of subsoil
Df = Depth of foundation
The net ultimate bearing capacity (qd) of a footing is defined as the pressure that can be
supported at the base of the footing in excess of that at the same level due to the surrounding
surcharge; hence
qd = qd’ – γDf
i.e.
qd = cNc
The value of Nc for a footing varies with the ratio of the width B to the length L, with the depth of
surcharge i.e. depth of foundation Df, which is indicated by the following graph. For any given
value of Df/B, the net ultimate soil bearing capacity for continuous footing may be obtained
directly using the chart. But for rectangular footing the chart values are multiplied by (1+0.2B/L).
SURVEY 2000 Page 10
Geotechnical Investigation Report for Ibrahim Knit Garments (Pvt) Ltd at Siddhirgonj, Naryangonj August 2014
Allowable soil bearing capacity is found out dividing the net ultimate bearing capacity by
appropriate factor of safety. Hence
qa = qd/FS
where,
qa = Allowable soil bearing capacity
qd = Net ultimate bearing capacity
FS= Factor of safety
The N-value gives useful information with regards to consistency of cohesive soil and relative
density of cohesionless soil (ASTM-2487). These relationships are given in the Table 02, & 03
for cohesive and cohesionless soil, respectively.

The characteristics of the geotechnical units described based upon the test borings and the
laboratory testing and other observation on site.
Physical properties:
The physical properties of various layers are described below with depth.
Stratification of soil:
The project area mainly comprises with CLAY, sandy SILT and silty fine SAND. Subsurface
cohesive strata in nature consisting of medium stiff to very stiff, Grey to Grey mixed brown low
to high plastic CLAY. The non-cohesive layers consist of medium dense to dense, yellowish
brown silty fine SAND with trace of mica.
Atterberg limits:
The liquid limit of the cohesive soil varies from 35% to 72% and the plastic limit of the cohesive
soil varies from 12% to 31%.
Cohesion:
As reported from the performance of unconsolidated undrained Triaxial shear test, the values of
cohesion vary from 21 to 38 kPa and from unconfined compression strength test is 27.0 kPa to
96.0 kPa.
Compressibility:
The top formation of cohesive soil usually has been observed slight to moderately
compressible in nature (Geotechnical engineering; Principles and Practices, Donald P Coduto,
2003, Prentice-Hall of India Pvt. Ltd.,p.391), as the values of compression index vary from 0.13
to 0.27 and Corresponding value of the natural void ratio vary from 0.67 to 1.14.
According to our observation regarding the Sub-Soil condition of the proposed area we are
giving the following opinion:
On the basis of information available from geotechnical investigation report the allowable
bearing capacity of different depths is given in the following table.
From the bearing capacity evaluations and summary of Table # 4, observed that the bearing
capacity values are found higher than 150 kPa. Considering the soil condition and depth
influence of footing, we recommend the shallow foundations with bearing capacity of <=150
kPa for smaller to medium loads. However, the foundation bottom should be compacted before
placing the foundations. Piling shall be considered for higher loads >150 kPa.
