1.0 Introduction.
The Hindustan Constructional Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as the HCC) has been
Entrusted with the construction of the proposed bridge No.3 across Dassa Nallah respectively
by M/S IRCON International Limited (hereinafter referred to as the IRCON) along Dharam-
Qazigund Section of USBRL Project, J&K (under package 2, 3, 4&5). M/S HCC have taken
the services of Space Engineers Consortium Pvt Ltd. for carrying out Geotechnical
Investigation for this proposed bridge site under Work order No HCC ENG 106 B 02 007
Dated 29th January 2018.The Investigation of 07 bore holes located at piers P1, P2, P3, P5,P6,
P7 and A2 of bridge No.3 have been completed during January 2018- May 2018.This report
includes results of geological logs of boreholes, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) besides
geological studies around the tunnel T-49 alignment area.
The objective of the investigation is to generate a report incorporating subsurface geological

data collected from different boreholes together with limited surface geological studies along
the alignment. This report deals with the data obtained during field and laboratory
Investigations and recommendations thereto.
Brief details
The tunnel T-49 is part of the USBRL railway line project in Northern India, in the state of
Jammu & Kashmir. Its length is approx. 10 km. Its section is typical for an Indian mountain
railway line: single track main tunnel with parallel escape tunnel. Its gradient is approx. 1%.
After the initial part of civil design and 3 years of supervision, the Client assigned the
electromechanical design to Lombardi. With the experience gathered in the neighboring tunnel

4.2 Methodology Of Field Work
The investigation was planned to obtain the subsurface stratification in the proposed project
site and collect overburden / bed rock samples for laboratory testing to determine the
engineering properties besides engineering classification of the subsurface stratum.
SUBMITTED
HCC Limited
4.3 Drill Holes

For Geotechnical investigation work, drilling rigs was installed at the specified drill hole
locations. Stability of rig was ensured by making platforms. Rotary Drilling machines were
deployed and drilling carried out with Nx diamond tipped drill bits or impregnated diamond
bits depending on the type of rock encountered. Suitable core catchers were used where ever
necessary.
4.4 Procedure of Drilling
a) The drilling fluid used was clean water to avoid contamination. Circulation of drilling fluid
was used before the core barrel reached to the bottom of the hole to prevent cuttings or sludge
from entering the core barrel at the start of coring. In order to collect the sludge / rock cuttings,
drilling fluid were circulated continuously down the hollow rods.
b) Specific procedure was adopted to reduce water circulation as and when

soft/weathered/fractured rock, were encountered to avoid shattering/breaking of core.
c) The rotational speed of the bit (spindle speed), the amount of downward pressure applied on
the bit (bit pressure) and water pressure were suitably adjusted and properly monitored so that
the core is collected with least disturbance and to avoid shearing of the core from its base.
d) As per the drilling schedule the minimum drill run should be 0.75m and maximum. 1.5min
length provided the core recovery observed is more than 80% in two successive 0.75m drill
runs. When core recovery is less than 20% then SPT shall be per formed before commencing
the next drill run .This procedure was strictly adhered to on the approval from the site
engineer.
e) If at any time blocking of the bit or grinding of the core was observed, the core barrel was
immediately withdrawn from the drill hole regardless of the length of drill run completed.
4.5 Observations during Drilling
a) During drilling operations, the colour of return water was regularly monitored and sediments
carried were keenly observed so as to determine change in the lithology and physical
properties of formations.
SUBMITTED
HCC Limited
b) The depth & rate of penetration was monitored to ascertain the depth at which marked change
in rate of penetration or sudden fall of drill rod occurred, the depth at which any blockage of
drill bit causing core loss if any was encountered.
c) Any heavy vibration or torque noticed during drilling was recorded together with the depth of
occurrence.
d) Special conditions like the depth at which grouting was done during drilling, presence of
artesian conditions, loss of drilling fluid, observation of gas discharge with return water etc
were also monitored
e) During drilling operation, observation on return water, rate of penetration etc shall be
recorded.
4.6 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) prescribed as per IS specifications. SPT split spoon sampler
of standard dimensions is to be driven into the overburden from the drill hole bottom using
63.5 kg Hammer falling from 75 cm height. The SPT weight is mechanically lifted to the
specified height and allowed to fall freely on the anvil with the use of cat-head winch with one
to one and half turn of the drum. Blow counts for the penetration of every 15 cm are recorded
and the N is reported as the blow counts for 30 cm penetration of the sampler leaving the first
15 cm penetration as seating drive.
When the number of blows exceeded 50 to penetrate the first or second 15 cms length of the
sampler, the SPT N is regarded as more than 100. The test is terminated in such case and a
record of penetration of the sampler under 50 blows or more is made. SPT refusal is recorded
when there is no penetration of the sampler at any stage and also when a rebound of the
sounding system is recorded.
SPT ‘N’ values are correlated with relative density of non-cohesive stratum and with
consistency of cohesive stratum.

4.7 Disturbed Sampling in Drill holes
Disturbed overburden samples collected in the SPT sampler are preserved in polythene covers
and transported to the laboratory. One more polythene cover is provided to prevent the loss of
moisture during the transit period.
4.8 Undisturbed Sampling in Drill holes

Undisturbed samples to be collected using 100mm diameter and 450mm long MS tubes
provided with sampler head with ball check arrangement. The collection of undisturbed
samples in refusal strata is practically not possible.
4.9 Core Samples in Drill holes
Immediately after withdrawal from the core barrel, the cores samples were placed in a tray and
transferred into boxes specially prepared for the purpose. The core boxes were made from G I
sheet .The details of drill hole along with details of core run were recorded on core boxes.
After core logging the data was recorded for future use.

4.4 Regional Geology of the Study area
Rocks of Siwalik and Murree Group of foreland to Pre-Tertiary rocks of Lesser Himalaya are
exposed along the proposed rail alignment. These rocks are traversed by number of thrusts and
faults which are considered to be still active. Due to this tectonic activity the rocks along the
proposed alignment are highly jointed, fractured, folded.
The general trend of the rocks is NW-SE having dip towards NE direction. Murree Thrust
marks the tectonic contact between Tertiary and Pre-Tertiary rocks comprising meta volcano-
sedimentary of Lesser Himalayan terrain. It is thought to be an autochthonous folded belt of
tightly compressed and recumbent anticline varying in width upto about 7 kms. It lies between
the Murree Group of the foreland and the Salkhal ameta sediments of the Kashmir nappe. Its
outer boundary is the Murree Thrust, which has brought the rocks of this para autocthonous
folded belt over the Murree Group.
The northern boundary is marked by the Panjal Thrust/ main central Thrust, a low angle plane
almost parallel to Murree Thrust, which has brought the entire Tethyan Himalayan

Himalayan Belt. The Lesser Himalayan Belt extends up to north of Digdaul from where the
Phanerozoic succession of Kashmir nappe with basement of Salkhalas starts (Agarwal and
Agrawal, 2005). Overriding the rocks of Parautochthonous belt along Panjal thrust, Salkhala
Group of rocks occur, as a narrow belt in Digdaul- Sildhar - Rajgarh section, comprising of
thick sequence of schistose quartzites, phyllite, and schists intruded by granodiorite-diorite,
gabbro, pegmatites and basic rocks. These are uncomfortably overlain with Ramsu Formation
comprising of highly compressed sequence of pyritiferous, carbonaceous Phyllitic Quartizites,
dolomitic crystalline, siliceous limestone, quartzite, phyllite and basic rocks and are in turn
uncomfortably overlain with the limestone, marl quartzite, Phyllitic Quartizite lithology of
Syringothyris Limestone Formation, and in turn are overland with Fenestella Shales Formation
and Agglomeratic Phyllitic Quartizite Formation exposed in the hill slopes south of Banihal
Pass and Panjal Volcanic Formation exposed in the Banihal tunnel.

5.0 Geology of Bridge Area
SUBMITTED
HCC Limited
5.1 The geological sequence of the project area is as under:
5.2 Slates/Phyllites exposures constitute bed rock in the area, in the right and left banks of Nallah .
At bridge site bed rock outcrops are exposed in the river bed right bank. Phyllites /Slate thinly
foliated with occasional Quartzite bands are commonly met with & ptygmatic folding is
pronounced. The thick sequence of meta sediments exposed are compact to blocky, with
moderate to weak strength. Occasionally micro to macro qtz veins is traversing the formations
& gives it more compactness. The weathering grade is slightly to moderately weathered. On the
regional scale they are placed as Precambrian and in the proximity theses rocks are separated
from the Murries formation by a thrust called Murree Thrust &from Salkhlas by Panjal Thrust.
These thrust, close proximately have impact on the Bridge components. The joints, partially
open to wide with variable spacing, are criss cross in nature. The multiple joints have rendered
the rocks very blocky to disturbed and susceptible to rock fall at some locations in the area. The
rock mass consists of slate/phyllite & Phyllitic quartzite interbedded with carbonaceous
phyllite. Presence of quartzite has also been detected.
5.3 Older terraces

The older terraces, made of fluvio-glacial material, have been observed on either side of the
river Dassa Nallah. The material forming this lithounit have abundant clayey content rest in
contact with the slope debris and rock fall material on the hill side and river borne material on
the downhill side along nallah course. These lithounits mostly conceal the older terraces. The
debris is made of angular to sub-angular components embedded in clayey matrix mostly
compact, whereas the rock fall being mostly thin and loose in nature. The strata are made of
pre-existing lithounits.
5.4 Slope Debris and Rock fall Material
These lithounits mostly conceal the older terraces & bed rock. The debris is made of angular to

6.5 Seismicity
6.5.1 Seismo tectonic studies on the Himalayas and Parsons et al., 2006; have revealed that
some segments of the Himalayan mountain belt have not experienced major and great
earthquakes in the past 100 years or so though they have the potential to generate large
earthquakes (Gahalaut. 2006). Based on the earthquake occurrence and their locations
along the Himalayas, three main seismic gaps/segments have been Identified in the
Himalaya; Assam gap (1950 Assam and 1934 Bihar- Nepal earthquakes), Central gap
(1905 Kangra and 1934 Bihar—Nepal earthquakes) and Kashmir gap (1905 west of the
Kangra earthquake) (Khattari, 1987; Seeber and Armbruster, 1981). These gaps are
also considered as the future locations of major and great earthquakes. The study area
lies towards Southeast of Kashmir seismic gap.
6.5.2 The seismic activity in the area is attributed to the active nature of Murree Thrust, Panjal
Thrust and other deep faults present in the area. Themicro earthquake data (given in
subsequent section) suggests that the area is seismically active. Seismic hazard map of
the Jammu and Kashmir is given in Plate 2. Accordingly the study area falls within Zone
V of seismic map of India. It is therefore important to consider seismicity while
designing the civil structure as per zone-V.
Actual seismic coefficient for acceleration is evaluated on the basis of seismo tectonic
analysis of the area which is normally being undertaken by earthquake department of IIT
Roorkee and is beyond our scope. However based on IS 1893 zone factor of this area can
be considered as vertical acceleration value for design, for horizontal coefficient half of
the zone factor can be considered for design.

Himalayas and related high ranges. The Himalaya, with the greatest relief and steep
slopes on the earth, has high magnitude landslides. Landslide hazard map given in Plate -

7.2 Brief procedures of laboratory tests on soil samples

7.2.1 Particle Size Distribution
The particle size distribution were determined on soil samples in accordance with the wet
sieving method described in IS: 2720 (Part 4). Compliance with the Standard, with respect to
minimum sample quantity is dependent on the maximum significant grain size and the method
of sampling. In particular, for SPT samples, the quantity of soil available for testing is typically
about 100g. This sample quantity is considered representative where grain sizes range up to
4.75mm (i.e. to coarse sand size). Where significant quantities of coarser particles are present,
the particle size distribution obtained from such samples should be regarded as indicative only.
7.2.2 Sedimentation / Hydrometer Analysis

Sedimentation analyses were performed for soil samples in accordance with the hydrometer
method described in IS: 2720 (Part 4). The analysis provides an estimate of the particle size
distribution for the fine fraction (<75μm) of a soil sample. The analysis is performed by
monitoring the rate of settlement of soil particles initially suspended uniformly in distilled water.
The rate of settlement, which is monitored by observing the change in fluid density with the
hydrometer device, is theoretically related to the size of particles setting out of suspension
7.2.3 Atterberg’s Limits

The Atterberg’s Limits comprising liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit and plasticity index
were performed on soil samples in accordance with the relevant methods described in IS: 2720
SUBMITTED
HCC Limited
(Part 5 & 6). The liquid limit has been determined using the Casagrande apparatus method. The
soil sample preparation, in accordance with the code of practice, included removal of soil
particles retained on the 425μm sieve. Accordingly, where a significant quantity of coarser
particles was present, it should be noted that the Atterberg Limits results are representative of the
relatively fine soil fraction, and not of the complete soil sample.
7.2.4 Natural Moisture Content, Density and Specific Gravity

Natural moisture content of undisturbed soil samples collected from trial pits, has been
determined as per procedure given in IS 2720 (Part-II). Bulk density and dry density of the
undisturbed samples has been determined using mass and volume of the same and natural
moisture content. The specific gravity tests specified in the Indian Standard (IS 2720 Part-II
7.2.5 Saturated Moisture Content, Unit Weight, Specific Gravity and Porosity of Rock specimen
were determined for rock samples by using saturation and buoyancy technique, in accordance
with the methods of IS:13030.
7.2.6 Test Point load Index tests were performed on selected rock lump and rock specimen, not
amenable to UCS test, in accordance with the method suggested by IS: 8764 (1978) and
International Society for Rock Mechanics.
7.2.7 Uniaxial compressive strength for cylindrical rock specimens was determined in accordance
with the methods of ISRM. The uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen was corrected
for a height to diameter ratio of two for specimens whose height to diameter ratio was other
than two using the following relationship:
qc (corrected) = (qc 0.889)/ (0.778+ (0.222D/H))
Where,
qc = Uncorrected Uniaxial Compressive Strength

D = Diameter of the specimen tested
H = Height of the Specimen Tested

7.2.8 Water content determination

The container with its lid is cleaned and dried, and its mass m1 is determined. A representative
sample comprised at least 10 lumps each having either a mass of at least 50 g or a minimum
dimensions of ten times the maximum grain size, whichever is greater, is selected. For in situ
water content determination sampling, storage and handling precautions should be such that
water content remains within 1 percent of the in situ value.The sample is placed in the
container, the lid replaced and the mass m2 of the sample plus container determined. The lid is
removed and the sample dried to constant mass at a temperature of 105 ± 3°C.The lid is
replaced and the sample allowed to cool in the desiccator for 30 minutes. The mass m3 of
sample plus container is determined.
The water content shall be calculated from the following formula:
Water content, w= m2 - m3 X 100 ( percent )

m3 – m1
m1 = Mass in g of the container with its lid at room temperature
m2= Mass in g of the container with its lid and the sample at room temperature
m3= Mass in g of the container with its lid and the sample after drying
7.2.9 Porosity And Density Determination Using Saturation And Buoyancy Techniques
a) A representative sample comprising at least 10 lumps of regular or irregular geometry, each

having either a mass of at least 50 g or a minimum dimension of at least 10 times the
maximum grain size, whichever is the greater, is selected. The sample is washed in water to
remove dust.
b) The sample is saturated by water immersion in a vacuum of less than 0.8 kPa for a period of at
least 1 h, with periodic agitation to remove trapped air.
c) The temperature, t of the water in the immersion bath to the nearest degree centigrade is
determined.
d) The mass, M1, of the basket submerged in the immersion bath is determined.
e) The sample is transferred under water to the basket in the immersion bath. The saturated-
submerged mass, M2 of the basket plus sample to an accuracy of 0.01 percent of the sample
mass is taken
f) The mass, M3, of a clean, dry sample container and lid is determined.
SUBMITTED
HCC Limited
g) The sample is removed from the immersion bath and surface dry the sample with a moist
cloth, care being taken to remove only surface water and to ensure that no rock fragment are
lost. The sample is transferred to the sample container and replace the lid. The mass, M4, of
the saturated surface dry sample plus container is determined.
h) The lid is removed and place the container with contents and lid in the oven and dry at 105 &
3°C. The sample is deemed to be dry when the difference between successive determination of
mass of the cooled sample at interval of 4 hours does not exceed 0.1 percent of the original
mass of the sample.
i) Replacing the lid, remove the container from the oven and place the whole in the desiccator to
cool for 30 minutes.
k) The dried mass, M5, of the container with the oven dry sample is determined.
Calculations
a) Calculate the saturated-submerged mass,

Msub, of the sample
Msub= M2 – M1 (kg)
b) Calculate the saturated-surface-dry mass,

Msat, of the sample
Msat = M4 – M3 ( kg )
c) Calculate the dry mass (Grain Weight )
MS, of the sample
Ms = M5-M3 (kg)
d) Calculate the bulk-volume, V, of the sample by the following formula:
V = (Msat – Msub) (m3)
бw
бw = density of water at temperature t

e) Calculate the pore volume, Vv, of the sample by following formula:
Vv = (Msat – Ms) x 100 (percent)

Msat – Msub
f) Calculate porosity, n, of the rock sample by the following formula :

n = (Vv/V) x 100 (percent)
or = (Msat – Ms) x 100 (percent)

the two bearing discs and the test specimen shall be wiped clean. The specimen shall be kept
on the lower disc. The axis of the specimen shall be carefully aligned with the centre of the
thrust of the spherical seat. As the load is gradually brought to bear on the specimen, the
movable portion of the spherically seated disc shall be adjusted to ensure uniform seating.
Load on the specimen shall be applied continuously at a constant stress rate such that failure
will take place in about 5 to 15 minutes of loading. Alternatively, the stress rate shall be within
the limits of 0.5 MPa/s to 1 MPa/s. The maximum load on the specimen shall be recorded in N
within 1 Percent accuracy. The number of specimens to be tested should be determined from
practical considerations.
CALCULATION
The unconfined compressive strength of the specimen shall be calculated by dividing the
maximum load carried by the specimen during the test, by the average original cross-sectional
area.

9.0 FOUNDATION CONSIDERATIONS

For gravel, pebble, coble, boulder in sand matrix
Settlement criteria based Teng’s Modified criteria
Shear criteria – IS 6403
9.1 Bearing Capacity
The subsurface in general at all the borehole locations can be considered as sedimentary
formations comprising of Boulders, gravel, cobble with sandy matrix The overlying
Phyllitic Quartizites of different alterations over burden material neither falls in rocks
nor under soil and the investigation for establishing design parameters in such materials
have be carried out in accordance with IS: 10042whichnecessities conducting in situplate
load tests, blocks hear tests and in-situ density measurements. Such types of deposits be
have peculiarly, initially these materials upon loadings how rapid increase in settlement
and beyond about 1% settlement with increasing loads the rate of settlement decreases.
This is primarily due to the fact that unlike ordinary soils these materials show initial
rapid compression and once particle to particle contact gets established the compression
decrease considerably with load carrying function mainly be in taken over by the larger
sized particles. Figure-2of IS:10042bringoutthis behavior clearly.
The material that is met with at the proposed bridge site is somewhat similar to that is
reported in Figure-2 of IS: 10042 which is reproduced below for reference and better
understanding.

Geotechnical Investigation Report Of Piers P1, P2,P3, P5,P6 ,P7 and
TO
HCC Limited
It is observed from the afore said figure that settlement ratio (ratio of settlement observed
in the case of large size to settlement of small size) increases with the increase in size of
test plate. In accordance with IS:1888 for permissible settlement of 25mm for shallow
foundation of 8mx8msize,the allowable bearing capacity of gravel boulder is evaluated
from Figure-2 corresponding to settlement of plate as per equation Sp=Sf
[B(Bp+0.3)/Bp(B+0.3)]² =17.22mm. For settlement of 17.22mm,the allowable bearing
capacity works out to be 4.2kg/cm2 or 42t/m2. On the other hand, Teng’s modified
allowable bearing capacity for gravelly soils for 25mm settlement given by
q25=3.35xCb(N-3)[(B+0.3)/2B]2dwdf (in which Cb=constant=2 for gravelly soil sand dw
&df are water table reduction factor and depth factor respectively) .With depth factor
dflimited to 1.33 for deep foundation and water table correction factor as 0.5,the net
allowable bearing capacity for 25mm permissible settlement works out to be 56.35t/m²for
8m dia well with depth of foundation at 20m.However the gross allowable bearing
capacity shall be limited to (42+20)=62t/m2.
Under shear consideration for Ø = 34o, the safe bearing capacity in accordance with IS
6403 the safe bearing capacity works out to be greater than 100t/m2 for width of 8m.

10.0 Conclusion and Recommendations
1. As per IS code 10042 it is not reliable to believe on the laboratory tests of disturbed
samples, as the natural arrangements of the grains and matrix material are never achieved
by re compaction the best results are obtained by properly chosen field test.
2. We opine to use the aforesaid values limiting the net bearing capacity values for well
foundation to 110t/m2 or the values given in section 8.6 whichever is lower ensuring at
least 1.0m embedment in rock subject to the condition that rock type available at site
same as given in the reference boreholes. However, deep well foundation will not be
feasible from practical consideration.
3 Adequate protective measures for the abutment slopes may be suitably provided during
construction stage at the proposed bridge sites.
4. The detailed geological mapping may be carried out to delineate the different geological
formation and related problems likely to be encountered during the construction stage.
The Bridge sites lie in seismic zone V (IS 1893 Part-1) 2002 for adopting suitable seismic
coefficient for civil engineering structures in the area
5. Indian railway standard code of practice for the design of structure and design of bridges
(Revised 1985) may be adopted for the design of bridge.
