Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.4QPP
A two-story reinforced concrete building is to be built on a vacant parcel of land. This building will be 100 ft wide and 200 ft long. Based on information from Other borings on adjacent properties, you are reasonably certain that the soils below a depth of 5 to 8 ft (1.5 - 2.5 m) are strong and relatively incompressible. However, the upper soils are questionable because several uncompacted fills have been found in the neighborhood. Not only are these uncompacted fills loose, they have often contained various debris such as wood, rocks, and miscellaneous trash. However, none of these deleterious materials is present at the ground surface at this site. Plan a site investigation program for this project and present your plan in the form of written instructions to your field crew. This plan should include specific instructions regarding what to do, where to do it, and any special instructions. You should presume that the field crew is experienced in soil investigation work, but is completely unfamiliar with this site.
