1. INTRODUCTION
This report on Proposed Shensha Hotel Building discusses the details of sub-surface exploration
works carried out at its construction site at Dhapasi, Kathmandu District. The investigation work
included Percussion drilling, SPT Test, Laboratory Tests and Analysis of various test results to
predict the allowable bearing capacity and liquefaction suceptibility of existing soils at the site.
The details of the investigation work as well as that of findings of the analysis made are presented in
the following paragraphs.
2. FIELD WORK
2.1 General
The fieldwork included Percussion drilling, Sampling, Standard Penetration Test and Water Table
Monitoring. The details of the field works carried out at the building site are presented in Table 1.

2.2 Boring
The drilling work was carried out using Rotary drilling. The diameter of borehole at the site used
was over 100 mm size. The boreholes were logged continuously in the field. The borehole logs
included visual classification of soil, records of SPT values at every depth interval of 1.5 m and
position of water table. At each depth where SPT test was carried out, SPT-N values were
recorded at every penetration depth interval of 150 mm until a total depth of penetration of 450
mm was reached. The field boreholes records were updated after completion of laboratory
investigation works wherever was necessary. The updated borehole logs for the site are presented
in Appendix A. The location of boreholes is shown in Fig 1.
2.3 Photographs
A set of color photographs was taken to show the record of ground investigation work. The
photographs cover the location of borehole, drilling of borehole, sample recovery and soil
samples. The photographs showing most of the investigation works are presented in Appendix B.

2.4 Sampling
2.4.1 Disturbed Samples
Before any disturbed samples were taken, the bore holes were washed clean to flush any loose
disturbed soil particles deposited during the boring operation. The samples obtained in the split
spoon barrel of SPT tube during SPT tests were preserved as representative disturbed samples.
The disturbed samples recovered were placed in airtight doubled 0.5 mm thick transparent plastic
bags, labeled properly for identification and finally sealed to avoid any loss of moisture. Only
then the samples were transportation to the laboratory for further investigation. Due to the
presence of granular soil undisturbed soil cannot be taken.
2.5 Field Test.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was the field test conducted at the site. A standard split barrel
sampler was used in the test. The SPT tests were conducted in all the boreholes of the Nursing
Home site at depth interval of every 1.5 m. The driving of split-spoon was recorded at every 150
mm of penetration till the total depth of penetration of 450 mm was reached. The number of
blows recorded for the first 150 mm of penetration is disregarded. The number of blows recorded
for the last two 150 mm intervals are added and expressed as SPT N-value. The records of the
SPT values obtained are presented in borehole logs in the Appendix A. The recorded SPT values
are without any correction of overburden and water table. The test was conducted without using
liner. The maximum rod length used was 13.5 m. The SPT value obtained in the field are
corrected for overburden pressure.
2.6 Ground Water Table Monitoring
After completion of boring work the bore hole was left open for 24 hour. The depth to water table
recorded 24 hour past the boring work is taken as the position of the water table.
3. LABORATORY TESTS AND RESULTS
The following laboratory tests were conducted:

a) Grain Size Analysis (Sieve)
b) Grain Size Analysis (Hydrometer)
c) Atterberg’s Limits
d) Bulk Density
e) Unconfined Compression Test
f) Specific Gravity
g) Natural water content
h) Consolidation Test
The above laboratory tests were performed as per the specification laid down in the IS standard
codes. The above tests were conducted at the Geotechnical Laboratory of MULTI Lab (P) Ltd. At
Kopundole, Lalitpur. The results of laboratory tests were compiled in the form of Test Results
Summary Sheet and are presented in Table-2. The test result sheets of individual tests are given

5. FOUNDATION ANALYSIS
5.1 General
Before selecting a given type of foundation vis-à-vis the particular set of conditions prevailing at
a site, the probable performance of the foundation must be judged with respect to two types of
potentially unsatisfactory behavior. In the first place, the bearing capacity of the foundation soil
must be sufficient enough to ensure that the induced total or differential settlement is not
detrimental. Secondly, the bearing capacity should be such that excessive shear strain, which
could lead to shear failure, does not occur.
5.2 Depth of Foundation
The depth of foundation is governed mainly factors such as scour depth and the nature of the
subsoil strata to place the foundation, basement requirement and other environmental factors. The

soil condition governs the bearing capacity. Since, the soil up to the shallow depth is of filling
type with loose nature hence the calculation for deep foundation has been carried out.
5.3 Computation of a pile Capacity
The pile capacity has been computed using IS:2911 method for sandy soil. The pile type analyzed
is a bored and cast in place pile.
5.3.1 Cohesionless Soil Single Pile Action
The ultimate resistance of single pile in cohesionless soil is given by:
Qult Qb Qs
Q
i1 KPDi tan ASi
D
ult  Ab ( 12 D ' N   PD N q ) 
Where,
Qult = Ultimate pile resistance
Qb = Base Resistance
Qs = Shaft Resistance
Nq N = Bearing Capacity Factor

Ab = Area of Base
As = Area of Shaft
p Di ' = Effective overburden pressure at base of pile

pave' =Average effective overburden pressure over the embedded length
of pile and at base of pile
K = Earth pressure Coefficient
 = Angle of wall friction
Using the relevant relationship suggested above the analyses was carried out.

6. LIQUEFACTION/DENSIFICATION SUCEPTABILITY
6.1 General
The liquefaction phenomena occur in saturated cohesionless soil. The generation of excess pore
pressure below water table under undrained condition is a hall mark of liquefaction phenomena.
Under earthquake a rapid dynamic loading takes place. As a result there is tendency of saturated
sandy soil for densification but it cannot. This trend increases excess pore water pressure in
saturated sand to rise and the effective stress to decrease. If the effective stress of soil becomes
zero, the soil behaves as a liquid and any weight lying above it sinks in a level ground or soil
flows like water in sloppy areas.
In Nepal Laboratory Testing facility for liquefaction analysis is not available. As liquefaction
occurs in sands and non-plastic silty sands, simulation of field condition in the laboratory is very
much difficult. Thus results of field test is much preferred and widely used.
6.2 Evaluation of Peak Ground Acceleration and Probable EQ Magnitude
A strong (7.8), 2015 April 25 earthquake hit Nepal in the area near Barpak, a mountain village
between capital Kathmandu and tourist town Pokhara. The earthquake was followed by many
powerful aftershocks and a new earthquake (6.7) hit Nepal on Sunday April 26. The earthquakes
caused extensive damage to buildings and thousands of deaths and injuries and were even felt in
Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Many (historic) buildings collapsed, temples have been ruined,
roads destroyed. Nearly 8000 deaths in Nepal and tens of deaths in India & Tibet. The quake was
followed by more than 200 aftershocks and another huge earthquake (7.3) on May 12.
Accordingly the characteristic maximum magnitude of earthquake taken in the analysis is 9.12 in
MMI Scale or 7.6 in Richter Scale.
N V Nayak in his “Foundation Design Manual" has given a relation for maximum ground
acceleration in terms of Earthquake intensity in MMI Scale as:
Im
log10 (amax )   0.5
3
Where,
Im = Modified Marcalli Intensity
amax  Maximum ground acceleration in cm/sec2
9
log10 (amax )   0.5  2.5
3
 amax  316.23 cm / sec2  0.32 g
In the present analysis the value of earthquake magnitude has been taken 7.6 in Ritcher Scale.

Over the years a number of approaches to evaluation for potential for initiation of liquefaction
haven developed. Out of these, the most common is the cyclic stress approach developed H B
Seed between 1960s and 1970s at the University of California, Berkley. Liquefaction occurs
when cyclic shear stress induced by a certain earthquake exceeds the shear strength of soil.
The cyclic stress approach is conceptually is quite simple. In this approach the earthquake
induced loading is expressed in terms of cyclic shear stresses. It is then compared with the
liquefaction resistance of the soil which is also expressed in terms of cyclic shear stresses. If the
loading exceeds the soil resistance liquefaction is expected to occur.
Seed and Idriss (1971) has given a simplified procedure to obtain uniform cyclic shear stress for
level ground or gently sloping sites using SPT test. Since then a lot of advancement in the
liquefaction study has taken place. Accordingly in this study the approach suggested by I. M.
Idriss and R. W. Boulanger (2008) has been used in the analysis.
6.3 Load Characterization
Seed and Idriss (1971) has given a simplified procedure to obtain uniform cyclic shear stress for
level ground or gently sloping sites. The suggested relation is:
a
 max  max * v * rd
g
a
 cyc  O.65 * max * v * rd
g
Where,
 max  Maximum shear stress
amax  Peak ground surface acceleration
g = Acceleration due to gravity
 v = Total vertical stress
rd = Stress reduction factor at the depth of interest
6.4 Resistance Characterization
In most of the countries The Standard Penetration test (SPT) has been the most commonly used
in-situ test for characterization of liquefaction resistance. Seed et al. (1983) compared the
corrected SPT resistance ( N1(60) ) and cyclic stress ratio for clean sand (< 5 % fines) and silty
sand (> 5 % fines) for earthquake of magnitude M = 7.5 in MM Scale.
Em
( N1(60) = N m * C N *
0.6 * E ff
Where,
N1(60) = Corrected SPT value,
CN  Overburden Correction Factor = 10
p0 '

Em = Actual hammer energy = 60 % of E ff

E ff = Theroritical fre fall hammer energy
p0 ' = Effective overburden pressure in at depth of interest, KPa
As per Seed et al. the cyclic stress ratio to initiate liquefaction is given by:
 cyc ,L   cyc , L * v 0
Where,
 cyc, L  Cyclic shear stress to initiate liquefaction
 v0 = Effective overburden pressure
6.5 Factor of Safety
The factor of safety is given by:

Cyclic shear stress required for liquefacti on
F
Equivalent cyclic shear stress induced by earthquake
Using the above mentioned relationships the analysis has been carried out.
7. DISCUSSIONS
The soil types encountered at the site is described in detail in Table 3 in Section 4. At the
proposed site the soil is primarily filling up to the depth where the shallow foundation couldn’t
be constructed hence a pile foundation has been proposed this is due to the presence of loose
filling soil that initiates the vertical displacement of the foundation during dynamic event so to
counteract the problem the concept of end bearing piles has been applied to sustain the designed
load of the superstructure without appreciable movement.
From the denseness of the soil and the absence of the water table at the site, it is concluded the
soil at the site is not susceptible to liquefaction at the time of major earthquake.
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of foundation analysis the foundation the following recommendations have been made.
 The type of foundation analyzed is a bored and cast in place pile foundation. The pile capacities
are as follows
Table 5: Summary of Bearing Capacity Analysis

S Foundation Diameter(mm) Depth Soil Pile Recommended
No M capacity, Pile capacity,
kN kN
1 Bored Pile 400 9m Sandy silt 400 410

 The pile capacity recommended is as per Table 5 above.

 The site is not vulnerable to liquefaction at the event of major earthquake.
 The foundation designer need not follow strictly the depth and dimensions adopted in the
analysis presented in this report. He is free to select any other dimensions for depth and width
depending upon the actual loads and moments to be transmitted to the foundation soil. At this
juncture it is worth mentioning that the allowable bearing capacity depends on many variables
such as allowable settlement, type of foundation, size and depth of foundation, importance of
structure, cost of project etc. Therefore, on the basis of soil index properties data and
engineering properties data provided in this report (i.e. data furnished in test result summary
sheet Table 2 and bore hole logs provided in Appendix A), the foundation designer is free to
refine the calculations wherever he feels necessary.
