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
