  2. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

  3. Total sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_sounding

    Total sounding (TS) is a sounding method performed as part of geotechnical investigation. The sounding combines conventional rotary-pressure sounding with bedrock drilling, including rotation, ramming and flushing modes. The result indicates sediment stratification, occasionally soil type and may verify depth to bedrock. [1]

  4. Engineering geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_geology

    Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. [2] The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made ...

  6. Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_engineering

    Geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists perform geotechnical investigations to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock underlying and adjacent to a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for the repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions ...

  7. Near-surface geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-surface_geophysics

    Ground-penetrating radar is one of the most popularly used near-surface geophysics in forensic archaeology, forensic geophysics, geotechnical investigation, treasure hunting, and hydrogeology, with typical penetration depths down to 10 m (33 ft) below ground level, depending upon local soil and rock conditions, although this depends upon the ...

  8. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    The test provides samples for identification purposes and provides a measure of penetration resistance which can be used for geotechnical design purposes. Various local and widely published international correlations that relate blow count, or N-value, to the engineering properties of soils are available for geotechnical engineering purposes.
