After the recent devastating flood in Kashmir in 2014, a detailed geotechnical investigation has become imperative prior to construction of any structure. The detailed geotechnical investigation has to be kept in mind before suggesting any suitable foundation. The Net safe bearing/Pile capacity depends on soil parameters which include field & laboratory results. Considering lack of funds, a detailed investigation is not possible for every structure. As such a rough estimate of the field parameters may be of help in and around the area. N value being a reliable part of field investigation can be used as an indicative of engineering properties of soil and net safe bearing/Pile capacity. In this regard boring was carried out on alluvial deposits in the field at Raj Bagh, Srinagar to ascertain the rough behaviour of the soil using shell and auger boring. Boring was carried in two boreholes (BH1 & BH2) upto 20m and 25m respectively. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) values were taken at different depths ranging from 1.5m to 3m.
