Thepurposeofasoilinvestigationprogram
1. Selectionofthetypeandthedepthoffoundationsuitableforagivenstructure.
2. Evaluationoftheload-bearingcapacityofthefoundation.3. Estimationoftheprobablesettlementofastructure.4. Determinationofpotentialfoundationproblems(for
example,expansivesoil,collapsiblesoil,sanitarylandfill,andsoon).
5. Establishmentofgroundwatertable.6. Predictionoflateralearthpressureforstructureslike
retainingwalls,sheetpilebulkheads,andbracedcuts.7. Establishmentofconstructionmethodsforchanging

Example:
For a 4-story residential building of plan area 270 m2 with pressure is equal to 150 kPa at the level of the foundation base (q) that transferred from the superstructure. The expected unit weight of the soil under the foundation is 15.5 kN/m3 Calculate the approximate depth of boring and the required boreholes number for reporting the soil investigation program thoroughly.

1. Determine the soil stratigraphy within the top 5 m, at 200 test locations along a proposed 20 km-long highway.
2. Determine the compressibility of an overconsolidated clay layer at 5–15 m below ground surface.
3. Determine the compressibility of a sand deposit at 5–15m below ground surface.
4. Determine the groundwater table distribution within a 300-acre project site.
5. Determine the type(s) and quality of rock from 50 to 100 m below ground surface.
3. Describe the possible procedures to determine the groundwater table in the field.
