About "Site Investigation Methods and Practices" topic:

Since the time of the earliest structured buildings man will have been concerned about the nature of the ground on which he placed his structure. And now in all civil engineering works, the most crucial is the reliability of the information about the ground on which the civil engineering project will be founded. There are various methods of obtaining SI information, in this topic we will concentrate on most widely used method, like boring and drilling and the merits and demerits of site investigation.

1 It cuts cost of remove and replace
2 Helps to know better about the land

By doing site investigation we can know what kind of foundation can be used, so it will be suitable for that soil strata. we can also minimized risk..............

i do agree as the site investigation(in other words soil exploration) helps us to know the underground water level which leads to decide  the type of dewatering  system to be followed and the cost also. Some clients would like to go basement...

VIMALAN  |  Added idea  "Analysing ground water table"  |  1 year ago

In the reference of geo technical investigation ,i will say for designing the foundation of any structure bearing capacity is very important factor for this PLT and SPT tests are most important for shallow foundations.

Its not right to create residential constructions in abandon industrial sites. But it is also not good to let those areas remain idle and increase population load on other areas. My idea is, government should take those areas back from the owners...

Mr Dipak,Soil is an engineering material for its properties.This is the only material of varying use. So far as empirical formula is concerned,it may have not been developed for reasons that soil types are the product of environmental forces...
Venkatesh M  |  Answered  |  1 year ago
I agree with Mr.mohammad and  I think there is no such empirical formula so you can spend a reasonable amount on site investigation....

Selection of suitable site for cross drainage works The factors which affect the selection of suitable type of cross drainage works are : Relative bed levels and water levels of canal and drainage Size of the canal and drainage. The following considerations are important When the bed level of the canal is much above the HFL of the drainage, an aqueduct is the obvious choice. When the bed level of the drain is well above FSL of canal, super passage is provided. The necessary headway between the canal bed level and the drainage HFL can be increased by shifting the crossing to the downstream of drain age. If, however, it is not possible to change the canal alignment, a siphon aqueduct may be p...

Recovery of its due has been a hectic exercise for the Banks in the absence of a special legislation. ‘Non-performing Assets’ were growing and a need was felt to reduce the ‘Non-performing Assets’ of the Banks drastically. As the recovery through Courts was a difficult exercise for the Banks, initially, a special legislation called ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’ was enacted creating a Special Tribunal called ‘Debt Recovery Tribunal’. Under the Act, the Banks are entitled to approach the Tribunal by filing an ‘Original Application’ which is similar to filing a suit in Civil Court proceedings. However, unlike the ‘Civil Court’ which is supposed to follow the ‘Civil Procedure Code’, a special and simple procedure has been prescribed under ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’. At the end of adjudication, the Tribunal is supposed to grant a certificate called ‘Recovery Certificate’ infavour of the Bank...
