Measuring site work, Excavation and Piling

Bid drawings typically include very little material about the precise requirements of site work operations, measuring site work and excavation work differs from measuring most other works on a construction project. The actual site work conditions are not provided and also the dimensions of the excavations are not known during the pre-construction phase. The precise measurement of the excavation and backfill of the earth material and topsoil is important for a contractor to decide upon the total cost required for the process. All the works should be carried out under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure the safety of the workers.

A highway embankment is to be constructed of height 10m over a soft clay deposit of 10m thick overlying firm dense sand. The soft clay has an undrained cohesion of 37.5kN/m² and unit weight of y = 17.5kN/m³. It is decided to adopt stone column technique to improve the load carrying capacity of soft clay deposit. If a equilateral pattern of stone column is adopted with a c/c spacing of 1.2m and the diameter as 0.6m, Estimate the load carrying capacity of stone column as per IS15284 (Part 1): 2003. Assume the stone column as an end bearing long column of length 10m.
