GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN ASSESMENT FOR THE PROPOSED WALTDANAZY PHARMACEUTICAL AT HATTAR INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, DISTRICT HARIPUR PAKISTAN

Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a bearing capacity analysis and to provide the most suitable foundation design for the construction of Waltdanazy Pharmaceutical at Hattar Industrial Estate using ASTM standards. The subsoil investigation program was carried out by drilling four (4) 100.0-feet boreholes at the site's location. The method of percussion drilling was adopted and boreholes drilled up to a maximum depth of 100.0 feet. Disturbed samples were obtained, in situ tests were carried out and soil strength assessment analysis was performed. The Atterberg Limits (ASTM D-4318) and grain size analysis (ASTM C- 136) were performed to interpret the sub soil geotechnical behavior. Using Meyerhof's equation for deep foundation, bearing capacity was calculated. On the basis of field and lab test results bearing capacity was calculated and pile foundation are recommended for the site.
