How to interpret Soil investigation Reports & Geotechnical reports

Soil Report is an essential document for any project. Soil test forms the decisive test for deciding the type of foundations. SBC of soil and modulus of subgrade reactions forms the basis of sizing foundations. In this structural design tutorial, a soil report is run through to show the content of a soil investigation report. All important parameters of a geotechnical investigation like bore log is explained. Also compressive soil is explained. The video contains the soil parameters listed below. Ensure you READ the BLOG in civilera website as well to ensure you read the additional points in the blog. What is Compressive soil? Why the foundation size needs to be restricted if the soil is compressive? What is depth of pressure bulb? Explanation of bore logs Engineering parameters in soil report Physical properties of soil in a geotechnical report Soil report recommendations Water table level in soil report How to read the bore hole location plan Recommendation on type of foundations Additional notes and precautionary steps mentioned in soil reprt
