After detail underground inspection, the geotechnical engineer have located underground utilities consist of lines for telecommunication, electricity distribution and rail tunnels located at a depth starting at 2 meter below the ground surface. With the help of a diagram, provide and describe a geotechnical design flowchart of your proposed platform with regards to the findings by the geotechnical engineer mentioned.
During a geotechnical evaluation
Geotechnical evaluations usually consist of multiple components. First, a geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist performs a surface evaluation, which may include a site walk, reviewing maps and aerial photographs, or geophysical surveys. The second phase involves soil sampling, typically by using a drill rig to conduct test borings that provide valuable data related to soil properties and stratigraphy.
During test borings, samples are often collected for further laboratory testing; the geotechnical engineer uses the results of such tests to evaluate for site suitability and final design recommendations.
