6 Purposes of Soil Exploration

Posted on 22nd July 20191st March 2022 By Malay Sautya

Purposes of Soil Exploration

Soil exploration is a very important phase in the development of any structure. Although it costs a little more. But it’s favourable because it clears all doubts about the behaviour of the foundation.

Purposes of Soil Exploration

Following are the 6 purposes of soil exploration or site investigation:

1. To determine the proper safe bearing capacity of the underlying soil.

2. To determine how deep the foundation should be taken.

3. To find out the depth of the underground water table and determine the ways to solve the problem due to groundwater if needed. 

4. To select the safe and most profitable type of foundation.

5. Sit investigation or say soil exploration helps to overcome further any difficulties arise during construction work.

6. Make allowance for a possible settlement of the foundation.
