1.1. Soil Investigation
  • Geotechnical investigations under different site conditions such as weather, location, and time limitation.
  • Carried out the investigation of Boreholes by using different drilling techniques to significant depths based on soil type.
  • Carried out of the SPT in parallel with the drilling process on different soil layers.
  • Geotechnical field description for the soil profile and water table identification.
  • Extraction of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples at different depths.

 

 

         

1.2. Field Tests

 

  • Standard Penetration Test.
  • Permeability Test, Piezometers, and Observation Wells.
  • Bearing capacity: Plate Load Test.
  • Relative compaction measurement: Core-Cylinder Method and Sand-Cone Method
  • Measurements of the soil Electrical Resistivity and Thermal Conductivity.
  • Performing Field Vane Shear Test.
  • Field California Bearing Test (CBR).

 

1.3. Laboratory Tests

 

  1. Basic properties tests: Classification, Plasticity, compaction etc.

     

  2. Compressibility characteristics: Consolidation, Swelling, and Collapse behavior.
  3. Shear strength characteristics: Direct shear and Triaxial tests.
  4. Unconfined compressive strength test.
  5. Permeability and leaching tests.
  6. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test.
  7. Measurement of matric suction by using High Sensitive Tensiometer (TS) and mentoring of volumetric water content by using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).
