CPT is carried out to determine the frictional resistance and tip resistance offered

by soil on cone. CPT can be carried out by drilling a hole in the seafloor .The test should be

performed continuous for a depth of 30m below sea bed at a distance of about 5m from

the sample bore hole. The CPT can be terminated if rock is encountered. Downhole CPT

should be done for Scope 2(B). CPT Variation with depth and its correlation with other

the soil up to desired depth and measuring the torque required to rotate the vane. The

specification for equipment & accessories required, the test procedure and field

observations etc shall be as per IS: 4434. This test may also be conducted by direct

penetration from the ground surface. If the cuttings at the test depth in the bore hole

show any presence of gravel, sand, shells, decomposed wood etc which are likely to

influence the test results substantially, the test at that particular depth may be omitted

with the permission of the NIWE’s engineer-in-charge / person authorised by NIWE.

However the test shall be conducted at a depth where these obstructions cease to

occur. On completion of the test the results shall be reported in an approved proforma

as specified in IS: 4434, Appendix-A.

Triaxial shear test shall be conducted on undisturbed soil samples saturated by

the application of backpressure. Triaxial tests shall be performed on the specimens at

natural moisture content. Each test shall be carried out on a set of three test specimens

depending on the soil conditions.

VI. Consolidation test

Consolidation test shall have loading stages of 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, 400 and

800 kN/sqm. Rebound curve shall be recorded for all the samples by unloading the

specimen at the in-situ stress of the specimen. Additional rebound curves shall also be

recorded whenever desired by the NIWE’s engineer-in-charge / person authorised by

NIWE.

VII. Chemical analysis

Chemical analysis of sub-soil shall include determination of pH value, carbonate,

sulphate (both SO3 and SO4), chloride and nitrate contents, organic matter, salinity and
