EXPLORATION REPORT
PROJECT NO. TJE/00597/2015
1.INTRODUCTION:
M/S LANDMARK HOUSING PROJECTS CHENNAI PVT. LTD., has proposed to
construct a Basement Floor + Sixteen Floors Building at "Condominiums" No. 57,
58, 59 & 60, South Beach Road, Santhome, Chennai. The work was entrusted to T.J.
Engineers by the promoter. The location is shown in Fig No.1. The object of the soil
exploration work done is to determine the soil properties of the proposed area and to
arrive at a most suitable type of foundation system for the proposed structure.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The Scope of Work includes the following
BOREHOLES
� Drilling of borehole at the proposed borehole locations as per the
direction of the client.
� Collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples and carrying out
the relevant laboratory test on soils.
� Conduction of standard penetration test (SPT) within the borehole at
every 1.50m depth interval or as required.
� Collection of soil sample from bore hole.
� Preparation of geotechnical investigation Report.
3.0 LOCATION & NUMBER OF BORE HOLES
For this purpose five bore holes were bored up to maximum depth of 26.00m below
existing ground level. The bore hole location is shown in Fig No.1 and bore log
details are given in Fig No. 2,3,4,5&6. The bore holes were terminated in the Very
Dense Soft Rock layer.

4.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS
4.1 Filed Investigations of Boreholes
Rotary boring technique was adopted for boring in this area. The Standard
penetration tests were conducted at change of layers and at specified intervals,
commencing the test at 1.50m below the existing ground level. The relative density
of different soil layers obtained from the N-Values are given in the Fig No. 2,3,4,
5&6. Disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected from all the layers for visual
observation, classification tests and strength characteristics of the soil layers.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
Standard Penetration Tests were conducted using a split spoon sampler, as per
relevant code provision (IS: 2131 – 1981). The SPT is generally conducted in sandy
and completely weathered rock strata till 45 cm penetration with number of blows
recorded for every 15 cm penetration. The number of blows required for first 15 cm
in neglected. The blows for last 30 cm penetration or refusal ‘N’ value of 100
whichever is earlier is taken as the ‘N’ value. In the clayey strata, when driving of
sampling tube is not possible, SPT was conducted to know the consistency of the soil
strata and to retrieve the disturbed soil sample. The soil samples obtained in the split
spoon sampler are carefully packed in polythene bags for testing in the laboratory.
The SPT values obtained at every 1.50m interval are given in the bore logs.
4.2. Grain Size Analysis
Combined sieve and hydrometer analyses were conducted on the various samples
collected. The results are given in Table-1a&1b. Based on the proportion of the
different soil constituents, the soil is classified.

7.0 GROUND WATER TABLE
The ground water table was encountered at the depth of 3.00m, below the existing
ground level at the time of soil exploration.
8.0 SUB SOIL PROFILE
From the visual identification from field test results, it is concluding that the sub soil
strata is made-up of six distinctive layers.
i. Filled Up Soil 0.00m to 1.00m
ii. M. Dense to Very Dense Silty Sand layer 1.00m to 10.00m SPT’s N=17-54
iii. Very Dense Silty Sand layer 10.00m to 17.00m SPT’s N=44-77
iv. Very Dense Sandy Gravel/Gravelly Sand 17.00m to 22.00m SPT’s N=80-100
v. Very Dense Disintegrated rock 22.00m to 24.00m SPT’s N=>100

vi. Very Dense Soft Rock 24.00m to 26.00m SPT’s N=>100
The soil profile details are presented in the Bore logs, Presented in Fig-2,3,4,5&6.
9.0. FOUNDATION ANALYSISAND DESIGN
From the bore log data at the top from 0.00m to 1.00m filled up soil is
present. From 1.00m to 10.00m medium dense to dense Silty Sand layer is present.
From 10.00m to 17.00m very dense Silty Sand layer is present. From 17.00m to
22.00m very dense Sandy Gravel/ Gravelly Sand layer is present. From 22.00m to
24.00m disintegrated rock layer is present. Below 24.00m Soft Rock layer is seen, this
layer is fair to rest the pile foundation for heavy loaded structure.
The soil up to 17.00m is the critical zone for open foundation for medium loaded
structure, within the critical zone medium dense very dense to very dense Silty Sand
layer is present. For medium loaded structure Isolated Footing or Continuous Strip
Raft Foundation or Raft Foundation can be adopted. The open foundation can be
placed at the minimum depth 2.10m below the existing ground level. The proposed
structure has got basement floor the SBC at different level has been worked out and
given below.
The proposed structure is high raised, if the SBC is not sufficient for the expected
loading intensity, structure not stable for horizontal force, structure with column
positions are not symmetrical and long span, sensitive for differential settlement, it is
advisable to provide deep foundation of pile foundations. The pile foundation can be
Bored Cast in situ pile or Driven Pile. The pile foundation should be terminated at the
minimum depth of 26.00m below existing ground level, existing ground level at the
time of soil investigation.

9.1. COMPUTATION OF THE SAFE BEARING CAPACITY AT 2.10m DEPTH Based on the standard penetration test value the ultimate load carrying capacity (qu)
could be calculated from the following formula.
qu = (γ’ Df + (γ- γ’) Dw) Nq + 0.4 γ’ B N γ
The observed N-Value is taken as 20 from Fig. 2,3,4,5&6.
The corresponding bearing capacity factors are,
Nq = 23.89
Nγ = 22.61
Where,
γ = Bulk density = 1.50 t/m 3
γ’ = Submerged density = 0.50 t/m 3
Df = Depth of footing = Considered minimum of 2.10 m.
Dw = Depth of water table = Considered at 1.00m
B = Breadth of the footing = Consider minimum of 1.00m.
Substitute all the above values in the formula,
Qu = (0.50x2.10 + (1.50- 0.50)1.00) 23.89 + 0.4 x 0.50 x 1.00 x 22.61
= 48.97 + 4.52
= 53.49 t/m 2
Safe bearing capacity could be considered with a factor of safety of 2.5
Hence, safe bearing capacity q s = 53.49 / 2.50 = 21.39 t/m 2.
Therefore, Safe Bearing Capacity of the soil at the depth of 2.10m is 21.00 t/m 2
101

9.2. LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE CONVENTIONAL PILE
Based on the standard penetration test value the ultimate load carrying capacity (qu)
could be calculated from the following formula.
Qu = Qb + Qs
Qs = Ultimate unit skin friction on an individual layer
= Ks σ’ vo tan δ π D L
Where
Ks = Co-efficient of horizontal soil stress = 0.471
σ’ vo = average effective overburden pressure = 11.50 t/m2
δ = angle of wall friction = 32
D = Dia meter of pile = 0.40m
L = Length of individual layer = 6.00m
= 0.471 x 11.50 x 0.624 x 3.14 x 0.40 x 6.00
= 25.47 t
qb = Nq σ’ vo Ab
where
Nq = Bearing Capacity Factor = 110
σ’ vo = effective overburden pressure at the toe = 13.00 t/m2
Ab = Cross sectional area at the base
D = Dia of Pile = 0.40m
= 110 x 13.00 x 3.14 x 0.40 2 /4
102
9
= 179.61 t
Qu = Qb + Qs
= 179.61 + 25.47 = 205.08 t
Q safe = Qu/F.S = 205.08/2.5 = 82.03 say 82.00 t
The safe load carrying capacity for five different diameter of piles for the depth of
26.00m are worked and are given below.
Dia of Pile Depth of Pile Safe Load (Tones)
400mm 26.00m 82
450mm 26.00m 102
500mm 26.00m 125
600mm 26.00m 177
750mm 26.00m 272
The above safe loads are provisional and shall be confirmed by conducting pile load
test as per the guide line laid down in IS: 2911 (Part: IV).

10.0. CONCLUSIONS
1. Soil in the shallow depth is fair to adopt open foundation system for medium
loaded structure.
2. The foundation can be Isolated Footing or Continuous Strip Footing
(Inverted T Beam) or Raft Foundation.
3. The foundation can be placed at the minimum depth of 2.10m below existing
ground level (existing ground level considered as the ground level at the time of
soil investigation).
4. The proposed structure has got basement floor the Safe Bearing Capacity
(SBC) at different level has been worked out and given below.
Sl. No. Depth ( m) SBC (t / m2)
1. 2.10 20
2. 2.50 23
3. 3.00 26
4. 3.50 28
5. 4.00 30
5. The minimum width of footing should be maintained as 1.00m to avoid any
punching shear failure and to achieve suggested SBC.
6. The shallow foundation should rest on natural un disturbed Silty Sand layer.
7. All the foundation should rest on 100 mm thick 1:4:8 concrete mat, over 100mm
thick river sand layer.
8. If Isolated footing provided it is advisable to provide plinth beam connecting
all column on both direction, continuous belt beam at floor level, continuous
sill slab, continuous lintel beam.
104

9. Since the soil strata is of sandy precaution should be taken in deep excavation
for underground sump, Swimming pool and septic tank etc. The soil under
footing should not get disturbed, if get disturbed the foundation (footing) depth
should be taken up to the deep excavation depth. The foundation should rest
on the undisturbed strata.
10. If open foundation provided proper dewatering system should be provided,
the soil should not get loosened due to soil boiling.
11. The proposed structure is high raised, if the SBC is not sufficient for the
expected loading intensity, structure not stable for horizontal force, structure
with column positions are not symmetrical and long span, sensitive for
differential settlement, it is advisable to provide deep foundation of pile
foundations. The pile foundation can be Bored Cast in situ pile or Driven Pile.
The pile foundation should be terminated at the minimum depth of 26.00m
below existing ground level, existing ground level at the time of soil
investigation.
12. The safe load carrying capacity for five different diameter of piles for the depth
of 26.00m are worked and are given below.
Dia of Pile Depth of Pile Safe Load (Tones)
400mm 26.00m 82
450mm 26.00m 102
500mm 26.00m 125
600mm 26.00m 177
750mm 26.00m 272
105
12
The above safe loads are provisional and shall be confirmed by conducting pile load
test as per the guide line laid down in IS: 2911 (Part: IV)
13. The pile should be anchored in to the very dense soft rock layer for minimum
2.00m depth.
14. It is advisable to do piling with Hydraulic Rotary drilling with DMC method.
15. The bore hole should be flushed properly before laying concrete.
16. The soil strata is more of sandy, proper precaution should be taken against
sliding of bore hole by maintaining proper dense bentonite slurry or temporary
casing or permanent casing.
17. The soil strata is pure sand Pile concreting should be done as soon as boring
operation is over.
18. It is advisable not to mix pile foundation and shallow foundation in same
building.
19. For foundation design stress due to any eccentricity and horizontal force also
to be considered, and stability should be checked.
20. Depending upon the shape of the structure and horizontal force, type of
foundation can be decided.
21. All suggested foundation recommendations and precautions should be adopted
while undertaking the design aspects and construction activities.

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT - 280 KLD
It is proposed to install a sewage treatment plant, in order to conserve water. The
sewage treatment plant will be designed to ensure that treated effluent characteristics
are well below / within the permissible limits, even under varying flow conditions,
which are typical for such systems. This implies that the selected process will be able to
withstand the peak load situation.
The sewage treatment plant shall treat the domestic effluent generated from the toilets,
hand wash, pantry etc, and re use the water for toilet flushing and landscaping. The
sewage treatment plant is designed with a capacity to handle 280 cu.m of soil water
from the Building.
The proposed sewage treatment plant is of “Extended Aeration type system”. It
envisaged collecting all the sewage water through piping network with battery of
inspection chambers and manholes and taken into a raw sewage water collection sump
/ equalization tank through a bar screen chamber. The equalization tank will have a
retention capacity of approximately 9 times the flow rate. Sewage from this tank is
constantly pumped to Aeration tank using effluent transfer pumps to achieve
continuous re - circulation arrangement of the contents of the equalization tank.
The aeration tank will have a detention time varying from 8 to 10 times the flow rate for
continuous aeration. Aerated waste will be allowed to settle in a secondary settling tank
and over flow is let in to semi treated effluent sump. The sludge will be partly fed back
to aeration tank by pumping and the remaining sludge pass through sludge handling
system consisting of automatic filter press, sludge thickener, dry cake handling
equipment, poly electrolyte dosing for disposal. Dried cake will be removed and used as
manure for plants. From semi treated water collection sump, water will be pumped
through activated carbon filter, pressure sand filter and pumped and stored in a treated
water tank used for landscaping after disinfection. From this tank, treated water will be
used for landscaping purpose with separate network of pipelines and pumping system.
A part of the treated water will be earmarked for toilet flushing and will be fed through
ultra filtration process prior to feed to toilet cisterns. The treated effluent from the
Sewage Treatment Plant will be used for irrigation and landscaping purposes. If filter
131
press or sludge drying beds are not opted, periodic cleaning of sludge shall be carried
out by tankers.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO AVOID LEACHING OF TREATED SEWAGE INTO
NEARBY WATER COURSES:
Treated sewage from Sewage Treatment Plant will be conveyed to Treated Sewage
Tank through pipelines. All the joints from piping system will be checked periodically
and carrying treated wastewater pipes will be laid in conduits wherever road crossings
are expected.
Garland drains will be constructed all around the Residential Complex for intercepting
water from outside and inside. Thus no leaching of treated sewage into nearby water
courses shall take place. Supervisors will be employed for overall operation &
maintenance of water supply, waste water treatment and other utility services.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION STUDY REPORT
Background
The purpose of this study is to assist the client to study the regional transportation and
traffic connectivity to the site and to ensure that the proposed development is able to have
access to infrastructures needed for the future development and its functionality. This will
also help in assessing the impact of increase in traffic due to the proposed project. Since the
proposed project site is close to Santhome High Road, which has 2 lanes with dividend.
Another major access road is Thandavarayan Street Road which is connected to Santhome
High Road on west direction. Chances of traffic going slow are high during peak hours.
Traffic study was conducted at Santhome High Road location during May 2015 to cover all
possible traffic variations and to assess the peak traffic flow. The traffic study includes
counting, categorization etc.
Objective
Objective is to review and study the present traffic pattern in the main public roads in and
around the project site as well as to estimate the flow of traffic on completion of the
proposed project.
Site Environment and Traffic Movement
The proposed project site is located at R.S. No. 4279 and 4284 at Santhome High Road,
M.R.C. Nagar of Mylapore village, Mylapore Triplicane taluk, Chennai district, Tamil Nadu.
The main access road to the project site is Santhome High Road which connects to
Kamarajar promanade on North direction (OMR) and Rajiv Gandhi road on South direction.
The road have two way movements of vehicles which consist of different category of
vehicles like two wheeler, four wheeler, buses, autos and logistic vehicles.
139
Methodology
Vehicle Count
The vehicles passing through the road (in both ways) were counted separately for 24 hours
at the one selected locations from 0600 hrs to 0600 hrs next day continuously. Category-
wise vehicle counting has been done continuously and recorded in the traffic volume count
on daily basis under respective categories.
Categorization of Traffic
The engine driven vehicles were categorized into various heads viz. Trucks/Bus, Light
Carriage Vehicles (LCV), Car/Jeep, Multi Axle Vehicles, Two/Three Wheelers and
Cycles/others.
Sampling Locations
The two traffic locations are represented in Table 1.

Traffic flow patterns
The traffic study was conducted for Santhome High Road which are the main access to the
project site to the city. The average traffic is observed as 753 PCU/hr (Passenger Car Units
/ hour). The peak traffic is observed from 10.00 AM - 11:00 AM of 1269 pcu/hr (Passenger
Car Units / hour) & the peak traffic during night time is observed from 5:00 - 6:00 PM of
1611 pcu/hr (Passenger Car Units / hour).
Volume /Capacity ratio
The Volume/Capacity Ratio indicates the congestion levels on a particular road. The IRC
specifies a design service volume (DSV) for each road type therefore indicating a level of
service. Level of service of roads depends on the volume/capacity ratio of the respective
roads. The level of service and performance as per IRC norms is given below,
Volume/Capacity Ratio (Range)
Level of Service (LoS) Performance
0.0 – 0.2 “A” Excellent 0.2 – 0.4 “B” Very Good 0.4 – 0.6 “C” Good 0.6 – 0.8 “D” Fair 0.8 -1.0 “E” Poor
Santhome High Road
Peak of the traffic was found to be 1611 PCU/hr. The capacity of the road for 2 lane (two
way) for sub-arterial road is taken as 2900 PCU/hr as per Standards. Hence the V/C Ratio
for the road is found to be 1611/2900 = 0.55. Hence the level of service for the road is “C” &
the performance is “Good”.
Future Traffic Scenario
Total Nos. of car parking provided in proposed development is 508 PCUs. The vehicle
distribution Housing units will be for 3 hrs in the morning and 3 hrs in the evening. Hence,
total number of vehicles that might enter or exit the campus for 1 hr = 508/2 = 254.
Total number of vehicles for 1 hr for the proposed development will be 508 pcu at peak
hour. The traffic that is generated from the proposed development will be diverted to
143
Santhome High Road. The distribution of traffic is done for all the roads equally. Therefore
the overall impact of traffic on Santhome High Road is 508 pcu/hr.
The modified Level of service & performance for the road is as shown in the below table.

FIRE SAFETY & PROTECTION
The fire extinguishers will be located all over the building for immediate use. The type
of hand appliances provided is such that the fire extinguishers can be directly taken and
used for fire fighting purpose at any location inside the building. The ring main hydrant
system consists of the hydrant valves, hose reels, heavy pipe to withstand a developing
pressure of 10 Kg/Sq.cm, branch pipes, M.S. hose box, anti – corrosive treatment,
pumps, priming tank, valves (Sluice valve, non- return valve, air release valve) and
cables.
The fire prevention measures referred to above should minimise the risk of fire.
However the possibility of a fire at any time for whatever reason cannot be totally
eliminated. The greatest danger arises if a fire occurs at night, when people are asleep.
The volumes of smoke produced by even a small fire can fill a room or corridor very
quickly. The presence of a functioning fire alarm system is provided as an early warning
of a fire. A notice of the procedures to be followed by guests in the event of a fire should
be provided in all guest bedrooms, displayed on the back of each bedroom door. This
concentrates on the evacuation of the premises when hearing the fire alarm or other
warning and drawing attention to the means of escape. Instructions are clear and
concise and are multi-lingual to cater for foreign guests. As guests are unlikely to be
familiar with the internal layout of the premises, the instructions include a simple
location map, indicating the escape routes relative to each room.
FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Every storey of the premises is provided with a minimum of one nine litres water type
or one four kilograms general-purpose powder fire extinguisher (or a number and type
of extinguishers with an equivalent rating).
MAINTENANCE OF FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AND BUILDING SERVICES
Non-fixed equipment would include portable fire extinguishers and fire-blankets. To
ensure safety all electrical installation and the heating and hot water systems are
149
checked periodically. Fire alarm systems are tested regularly and maintained to ensure
correct operation. Mains operated self-contained alarms are tested at least monthly by
the use of the test button provided on the units, to ensure operation of the sounders. All
alarms are tested at least once a year to ensure that they respond to fire.
ESCAPE ROUTES
In the event of a fire, the escape routes from the premises are available for use and are
not obstructed. The following precautions are taken in relation to all escape routes:
All escape routes are clearly indicated, are not obstructed, and are available for use at
all times;
• The exit doors are capable of being readily and easily opened at all times;
• The external areas at or near exits are not obstructed; and
• The security arrangements for the premises do not impede or prevent the use of
escape routes.
• Exit doors from the building should be capable of being opened from the inside
without the use of a key.
PROTECTED ESCAPE STAIRWAYS
A protected escape stairway is constructed. The walls, doors and ceiling forming the
enclosure to a protected escape stairway have a fire resistance of not less than 30
minutes. Every protected escape stairway leads directly to a place of safety outside the
building at the ground floor level. Escape stairways is also provided with openable
windows, and a roof-light at the top, for the purpose of providing smoke ventilation.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING

make evacuation of the premises difficult, if not impossible. To provide for this, it is
normal a system of emergency lighting to illuminate the escape routes on failure of the
mains electrical supply is provided. Emergency lighting fittings are provided in
protected stairways and protected corridors/lobbies to indicate the direction of escape.
