Abstract:
The primary goal of this study is to determine the soil's bearing capacity in Evaluation of
Courtyard by Marriot in G11 Islamabad. 2 boreholes up to 100ft depth have been performed. The boreholes were drilled using a percussion machine, and samples were then collected. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and field density testing were carried out in accordance with ASTM guidelines. Tests like sieve analysis, the Unconfined Compression Strength Test (USC), the Atterberg Limits, and moisture content tests were performed to interpret the soil geotechnical behavior. Using Meyerhof’s equation for deep formation, bearing capacity was calculated. On the basis of field and lab test results baring capacity was calculated and raft formations are recommended for it. The Atterberg Limits (ASTM D-4318) and grain size analysis (ASTM D-4318) were performed to interpret the sub soil geotechnical behaviors. On the basis of the field and lab test results bearing capacity and pile foundation are recommended for the site.
