INTRODUCTION OF SITE INVESTIGATION Site Investigation is the geotechnical investigationsperformed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to designearthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures 3. PURPOSE OF SITE INVESTIGATION1. Support planning and define the project feasibility.2. Determine most economical and appropriate: Route and depth definition. Excavation and support methods definition.3. Define physical characteristics of the soil, rock, and groundwater.4. To minimize uncertainties of physical conditions for the bidder & to improve safety.5. Provide specific data needed to evaluate: Constructability, Cost, Productivity, Schedule. To document as: Built conditions of the completed project 4. INTRODUCTION OF PROBE MACKINTOSH The site investigation is the one thing that must be done before starting the construction of the building. This is because the soil condition at the site need to be identifies to determine the suitable foundation use for thebuilding and soil play a main role to support the load that come from the building and the building need a suitable foundation to transfer the load to the ground. Therefore, the investigation of soil need to be done to identify the type of soil to ensure the soil can carry the load. 5. OBJECTIVE OF PROBE MACKINTOSH Collecting a disturbed soil sample for grain-size analysis and soil classification Determine sub-surface straits graphed and identity materials present Evaluate soil density and in-situ stress conditions Estimate geotechnical parameters 6.

Distance of 0.3 m is measured and marked on the rod start from the tip of the cone3. The equipment is set up on the ground4. The hammer is pulled until it reached the maximum. The hammer is dropped freely to driven the cone into the soils.5. The sum of the number of blow for penetration of 0.3 m is recorded in the data sheet.6. The hammer is taken off on the last 0.3 of each rod and joined and existing rod with another rod and lastly the hammer. The blow is continued and stopped when : The blow is more than 400 for 0.3 m penetration The depth reached 15 m

18. CONCLUSIONJKR Probe Mackintosh is can be used to determine the thickness of unsuitable material to be removed and also for preliminary design of embankments, limited to about 15 m and must be record no. of blows/ft. then correlates to established chart todetermine bearing capacity of soil. Mackintosh Probe which has 30 cone penetrometer while JKR Probes has 60 conepenetrometer. This is a light dynamic test and the cone is drivendirectly into the soil by driving a hammer 5 kg. Weight dropping through a free height of 280mm. The probe is unable to penetrate into medium strength soil and gravelly ground. 19. ATTACHMENT 20.
