FOUNDATION ANALYSIS FOR ALPHA PROJECT, THE MONAL, SANGRA, DISTRICT HARIPUR

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.
