Factual & Interpretative Reports

This document summarizes the steps and results of a geotechnical investigation. It includes factual data from field sampling and laboratory testing, as well as an interpretative report that analyzes the data. The interpretative report develops a subsoil profile, performs geotechnical analyses including bearing capacity, settlement, and liquefaction, and characterizes the seismic site zone and soil profile. Construction quality control recommendations are also provided based on the investigation results.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION

Various steps
• Appraisal of need of SI, objectives, main
considerations, various phases of SI, etc.
• Planning and design of SI
• Execution of SI (various methods, selection of SI
method, field tests, sampling etc.
• Laboratory testing (testing program and performing
various tests)
• Geotechnical investigation Report
a. factual report (field and lab data compilation)
b. Interpretative report (factual data and
interpretations)
