The soil profile from a geological map of a project site obtained during a Phase 1 investigation as shown Figure 1. For the proposed building: a) Briefly outline the steps in reconnaissance survey and preliminary evaluation of the site. b) Show on a sketch (plan view) your recommendations for the location of borings to be made at the site. c) Give recommendations for the type and depth of borings, the frequency of sampling (if any), and in situ tests (if any), etc. Use handout showed in the class/textbook/Navy Manual/web resources. Please use references when you're recommending something.
