Geotechnical Report
Additional Information on Soil
For soil, the geotechnical report must include the following point in addition:
-
Particle size distribution diagrams,
-
Particle shape,
-
Weight (per unit volume),
-
Subsidence behaviour,
-
Relative density (compactness),
-
Consistency and plasticity,
-
Water content, flow condition, water pressure,
-
Organic components,
-
Undrained and effective shear strength,
-
Sensitivity to changing conditions (e.g. water content, possibility of swelling or disturbance by mechanical stresses ("liquefaction"),
-
Deformation properties (modulus of elasticity),
-
Compaction or displacement capabilities,
-
Earth pressure coefficient,
-
Permeability coefficient,
-
Abrasiveness.
