The Contracto r shall carr y out these Tests on Completion as soon as pract icable before the expiry date of the relevant Defects No tif icat ion period.

If the Contractor incurs Costs as a result of the Employer taking over and/or using a part of the Works, other than such use as is spec ified in the Contract or agreed by the Contracto r, the Contracto r shall ( i) give no tice to the Engineer and (ii) be entit led subject to Sub-Clause 20.1 (Contractor’s Claims) to payment of any such Costs plus reasonab le profit , which sha ll be included in the Contract Price. After receiving this notice, the Engineer shall proceed in accordance with Sub -Clause 3.5 (Determinat ions) to agree or determine this Cost and profit .

If a Taking-Over Cert if icate has been issued fo r a part of the Works (other than a Sect ion), the dela y damages thereafter for completion of the remainder of the Works sha ll be reduced. Similar ly, the de lay damages for the remainder o f the Sect ion (if any) in which this part is included sha ll also be reduced.

For any period of delay after the date stated in this Taking-Over Cert if icate, the proportional reduction in these delay damages shall be calculated as the proportion which the value o f the part so certif ied bears to the value of the Works or Section (as the case may be) as a whole. The Engineer sha ll proceed in accordance with Sub-Clause 3.5 (Determinatio ns) to agree o r determine these proportions. The provisions of this paragraph sha ll only apply to the daily rate of dela y ‘damages under Sub-Clause 3 .5 (Determinat ions) to agree o r determine these proportions.

(B) Material :

VM = 0.75 × PM /100 × R × (1M 1-1M 0)/1 M 0 VM = Increase or decrease in the cost

during the quarter under consideration due to change in rates of materia l.

R = The value of the work done in rupees during the quarter under considerat ion excluding the cost of mater ials supplied b y the department.

1M 1 = The final price fo r mater ial which is average wholesale price index (a l l commodities) for the quarter under considerat ion as published in Reserve Bank of India Journal.

PM = Percentage of materia l components which is 75% of total cost of work.

Base, Current and Provisional Ind ices: The base cost and ind ices or prices sha ll be those prices of the quarter preva iling on the day 28 days p rio r to the latest date for submission of Bid. Current ind ices or prices shall be those prevailing on the quarter for which a part icular Interim payment Cert ificate is related. If at any time the current indices are not ava ilable, no provis iona l escalat ion will be payab le on the basis o f ind ices of the previous quarter in absence o f non-pub licat ion of

indices for concerned quarter b y the RBI. Escalat ion amount will be payable to the contracto r when the current indices become availab le.

5.0 Field Investigations

The field investigations were conducted to cover the entire scope of the job.

5.01 Boring – operations( IS 1892-1979)

The exploratory bore holes were made by rotary drilling by a rotary rig machine and

by pushing the casing pipe and removing material within the casing. In This system,

boring is effected by the cutting action of a rotating bit which should be kept in firm

contact with the bottom of the hole. The bit is carried at the end of

hollow, jointed drill rods which are rotated by a suitable chuck. A mud-laden fiuid

or grout is pumped continuously down the hollow drill rods and the fluid returns to

the surface in the annular space between the rods and the side of the hole, and so the

protective casing may not be generally necessary. In this method cores may be

obtained by the use of coring tools. To avoid excessive disturbance to the in-situ

6

deposits, the casing was not driven but was rotated frequently with slow motion. The

samples were taken from below the bottom of the casing after completely cleaning

the bore holes of any loose material at all depths wherever the samples had to be

taken. The undisturbed soil samples were taken by pushing thin walled tubes into the

bore holes. Immediately after taking these, they were logged, labeled, sealed in

polythene bag and sent to the laboratory for testing.

Core drilling-core drills were so designed that in sound ‘rock, almost continuous

recovery of core was achieved. Water was circulated down the hollow rods, which

returns outside them, carrying the rock cuttings to the surface as sludge. It was

ensured that boulders, or layers of cemented soils were not mistaken for bed rock.

For This core drilling was carried to a depth of at least 5 m in hard rock in areas

where boulders were known to occur.

5.02 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) ( IS: 2131)

The Standard Penetration Tests were conducted at various depths in the bore holes.

These tests were conducted by driving into the soil a standard split spoon sampler.

This sampler was driven with the help of a hammer weighing 63.5 kg. Which was

vertically guided to fall through a free height of 75cm on the driving head. This

driving head was attached to a drill rod, to the other end of which the sampler was

fitted. The number of blows required to penetrate the first, second and third 15 cm

lengths of the sampler were noted. The number of blow(i.e.N value), as given in the

data sheets of bore holes, is the numerical value for the number of blows counted

during the second and third stages i.e. for a depth of 30 cms. The procedure adopted

for conducting this test was as per IS: 2131. The observed N values for all the

boreholes have been noted down in tables. These values were corrected for over

burden pressure.

5.03 DYNAMIC CONE PENETRATION TEST (IS : 4968 – Part – 3 )

7

Dynamic cone penetration value ( cd ) is the resistance offered by a 60 mm cone

for a 300 mm penetration when driven by a 65 kg weight with a 750 mm free fall.

Assembly should consists of cone threaded to the driving rod. The hammer head

should joined to the other end of the rod and a guide rod, 150 cms long, connected to

the hammerhead. The assembly shall be kept vertical. The cone shall then be driven

into the soil using the 65kgs hammer falling through the free fall of 750 mm. The

number of blows required for every 100 mm penetration shall be recorded. The test

will be continued to the required depth

6.00 Laboratory Investigations

6.01 The laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples recovered from the test

bore holes. The results obtained have been given in the various tables at the end of

the report.

6.03: Grain Size Analysis: ( IS 2720 part 4)

Grain Size analysis was carried out on Disturbed and undisturbed Samples

obtained during boring operation. Percentage of sand and combined Silt and Clay

were determined from this analysis. The test was carried out as per IS: 2720 (Part

IV)

6.04: Liquid Limits and Plastic Limits( IS 2720 part 5)

To obtain an idea about the consistency characteristics of materials met with at

various elevations, the liquid limits and plastic limits of fine fractions were

evaluated as per procedure laid down in IS : 2720 (Part-V). These values have been

recorded only in the case of plastic samples (cohesive soils), on the bore hole data.

6.05 The wet density and grain size analysis was done for the samples taken as per

IS : 2720 (Part IV)

6.06 Direct Shear Test( IS 2720 part 13):1986

This test was performed in a shear-box apparatus. The apparatus consisted of

two-piece shear box of square cross-section. The lower half of the box was rigidly

held in positions in a container which rested over rollers and which was pushed

forward at a constant rate by a geared jack, driven by an electric motor. The upper

half of the box butted against a proving ring. The soil sample was compacted in the

shear box and was held between metal grids and porous stones. Normal load was

applied on the pressure pad. The shearing strain was made to increase at constant

8

rate. The shear force at failure corresponding to the applied normal load was

measured with the help of the proving ring. A number of identical specimens were

tested under increasing normal loads and the required maximum shear force was

recorded and a graph was plotted between shear force as the ordinate and normal

load as the abscissa to get the failure envelops and the value of C &

6.07 Unconfined Compression Test : (IS : 2720 Part 10) is carried out on cylindrical

sample of cohesive soil of dia 3.8 cm as per guidelines given in code.

6.08 Triaxial Compression Test ( IS 2720 part 11)

A triaxial compression test is the most versatile test available for the shear testing of

soil. In this test a soil specimen , cylindrical in shape was subjected to direct

stresses acting in three mutually perpendicular directions by means of triaxial

apparatus comprises of triaxial cell and loading frame. The major principal stress

was applied in the vertical direction and the other two principal stresses were applied

in the horizontal directions by the fluid pressure all around the specimen .the test

was performed on cylindrical specimen of dia 38 mm. The height of the specimen

was twice the dia. Shearing processes were started immediately without any

consolidation and without allowing any drainage of water. In this way no drainage or

dissipation of pore water pressure from soil specimen took place during the entire

testing time.

7.03) CONSOLIDATION TESTS ( IS 2720 part 15)

The consolidation tests were carried out on undisturbed soil specimen in order to

determine the settlement characteristics of soil at different depths. The tests is

conducted in accordance to IS : 2720 (Pt-XV).

An undisturbed soil specimen was extruded to the consolidation ring of 60mm dia.

The edge was trimmed carefully such that the sample was flushed with the top and

bottom edges of the ring. The thickness of the specimen was measured and the

weight was recorded. The bottom porous stone was then centered on the base of the

consolidation cell. The specimen was then placed centrally between the bottom

porous stone and the upper porous stone. A filter paper was provided in between

specimen and porous stones. Then the loading cap was placed on the top. The

consolidometer was placed in position in the loading device and suitably adjusted.

The dial gauge is then clamped into position for recording the relative movement

between the base of the cell and the loading cap. A seating pressure of 0.05 kg/cm2

9

was applied to the specimen. The cell was kept filled with water. After 24 hr. the test

was continued further using a loading sequence on the soil specimen of 0.25, 0.5,

1.0, 2.0, 4.0, & 8.0

kg/cm2. For each loading increment after application of load, readings of the dial

gauge was taken using time sequence 0, 0.25, 1, 2.25, 2, 6.25, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 ... up

to 24 hrs. From the observations of all incremental pressures, void ratio versus log

(pressure) curve was obtained. The slope of the straight line portion was designated

as compression index cc
