Abstract:
This piece of work gathers the study which explains soil bearing capacity and
provides the safe and economical foundation design at Fusion Mall Project, Plot No.
2B, Avenue-01, Sector F, Bahria Enclave, Islamabad. Total 5 boreholes have been
drilled at different locations comprising an average depth of 30 m. Straight rotary was
adopted for borehole drilling, and samples were then acquired. Standard
Penetration.Test (SPT) and Cone.Penetration Test (CPT) were conducted on the field
using ASTM parameters. The tests, including Atterberg limits, Moisture Content,
Sieve Analysis, Density and Specific gravity were carried out in the laboratory.
Meyerhof bearing capacity equation was applied and by using SPT values, soil
bearing capacity was determined.
