Abstract:
The main aim of this research is to identify the bearing capacity of the soil at Alpha
project, The Monal, Sangra area, Haripur. 7 boreholes have been drilled at different
locations which consists of an average depth of 10m. Straight rotary was implemented for
the drilling of borehole and samples were acquired afterwards. On field, Standard
Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT) were performed by ASTM standards.
On lab, the tests like sieve analysis, Atterberg limits and moisture content tests were
performed. The Teng’s equation was applied to the results of SPT and the bearing capacity
of soil was calculated.
