    OBJECTIVES
    1. The nature and sequence of Strata.

    Strata is a layer of material, naturally or


    artificially formed, often one of a number of
    parallel layers one upon another.

    2. Ground water conditions.
    3. Physical properties of soil and rock.
    4. Mechanical properties: strength and
    compressibility of different soil or rock strata.
    5. Chemical composition of the groundwater
    6. Characteristics of foundations of the adjacent
    structure.

    Stages of Site Investigation
    • Will depend upon the experience or techniques of those involved
    • some advisors use different approaches for any project though it is
    typically a phased exercise.

    https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/Highway%20Report.pptx?token=AWyZs6RoJBaKLVb0A…jjWRGTqcOs2XPu80jMz3fakG7l9jNDOdOY8cwo4z9bWqGgx9W88u98m4bggf6B3Uyzew 10/07/2018, 9`37 AM

    1. Preliminary Site Investigation
    • This phase is an important phase since you would gather
    important information about the type of structure to be
    constructed and its future use

    • To know the requirements needed for the structure such


    as building codes.

    - Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)
    - Maryland State Highway Administration
    - Oregon Department of Transportation

    • Soil exploration reports prepared for the construction


    of nearby structures.

    • The engineer should visually inspect the site


    and the surrounding area.
