8. DISCUSSION AND COMMENT:
8.1 The proposed 8-storied residential building of Mr. Md. Abdul Mannan is going to be
constructed at Plot No. 674/35, Katashurre, Bochila Road, Mohammadpur, Dhaka
where the location of 2nos. of bore hole points are shown on the site plan attached
in this report.
8.2 The net allowable bearing capacity of soil for square footing at 5ft, 7ft. 8.5ft, 10ft,
12ft, 13.5ft and 15ft depth below the existing ground level of each bore hole has
been furnished in this report considering a factor of safety of 3 for necessary
utilization .
8.3 The field exploration data , SPT values and the net allowable bearing capacity of
soil for square footing represent that the underlying subsoil stratum within the load
bearing zone up to 18ft depth in the region of BH-1 and 17ft depth in the region of
BH-2 is not good enough to sustain the superimposed load of the proposed
structure .
8.4 Therefore, transmission of superimposed load of the proposed structure to a deeper
and resistive stratum by means of RCC piling as commented below.
8.5 In view of the above discussion and observation supported with exploration data
and the laboratory test results the following suggestion has been furnished for
founding the proposed 8-storied residential building in the explored area.
18"dia. or 20" dia. cast-in-situ RCC pile of suitable length may be provided for construction of the proposed structure. The allowable carrying capacity of cast-in-situ RCC pile of said dimension of different lengths has been furnished in this report for necessary utilization. A factor of safety of 2.5 and the pile cut-off length of 5ft depth below the existing ground level have been used for computation of allowable carrying capacity of RCC pile. * Finally , it is noted here that the design engineer will take the appropriate decision about the type, depth and extent of foundation considering the economy and safety of the proposed structure based on geological condition of the site and physical properties of the underlying subsoil stratum as furnished in this report.
