The general objective of an geotechnical exploration program is to
identify all of the significant features of the geologic environment
that may impact on the proposed construction. Specific objectives
are to:
1. Define the lateral distribution and thickness of soil and rock strata
within the zone of influence of the proposed construction.
2. Define groundwater conditions considering seasonal changes and
the effects of construction or development extraction.
3. Identify geologic hazards, such as unstable slopes, faults, ground
subsidence and collapse, floodplains, regional seismicity, and
lahars.
4. Procure samples of geologic materials for the identification,
classification, and measurement of engineering properties.
5. Perform in situ testing to measure the engineering properties of
the geologic Materials.

Measurement of Properties
Objectives
The properties of geologic materials are measured to provide the basis for:
1. Identification and classification.
2. Correlations between properties including measurements made during
other investigations in similar materials.
3. Engineering analysis and evaluations.
Geotechnical Properties
Basic Properties
Basic properties include the fundamental characteristics of the materials
and provide a basis for identification and correlations. Some are used in
engineering calculations.
Index Properties
Index properties define certain physical characteristics used basically for
classifications, and also for correlations with engineering properties.

2011 Slide1010
Methodology
Three general categories subdivide exploration methodology:
1. Surface mapping of geologic conditions, which requires review
of reports and publications, interpretation of topographic and
geographic maps, remote-sensing imagery, and site
reconnaissance.
2. Subsurface sectioning (Section 1.3), for which data are
obtained by geophysical prospecting, test and core borings,
and excavations and soundings
3. Sampling the geologic materials, utilizing test and core borings
and excavations

2011
2011
Surface Mapping
General - Objectives
Data Base
For all sites it is important to determine the general geologic conditions and
identify significant development and construction constraints. For large study
areas it is useful to prepare a map illustrating the surficial and shallow
geologic conditions.
Preliminary Site Evaluations

An overview of geologic conditions permits preliminary evaluations regarding
the suitability of the site for development. The first step is the identification of
major geologic hazards and constraints in the study area. Depending upon
the construction or development proposed, constraints could include shallow
rock or water, or thick deposits of weak soils.
Taking into account the hazards and constraints, the optimum location for the
proposed construction is selected, and the planning of the site investigation
then begins.
2011
Methodology
A geologic reconnaissance study may advance through a number of steps ;
1. Research of reference materials and collection of available data.

2. Terrain analysis based on topographic maps and the interpretation of
remotely sensed imagery.
3. Preparation of a preliminary engineering geology map (large land areas).
4. Site reconnaissance to confirm initial data, and, for large areas,
amplification of the engineering geology map, after which it is prepared in
final form.
5. Preparation of a subsurface exploration program based on the
anticipated conditions.

2011
Research Data
Basic Objectives
A large amount of information is often available in the literature for a
given location. A search should be made to gather as much data as
possible before initiating any exploration work, particularly when
large sites are to be studied, or when the site is located in a region not
familiar to the design team. Information should be obtained on:
1. Bedrock geology, including major structural features such as faults.

2. Surficial geology in terms of soil types on a regional or, if possible,
local basis.
3. Climatic conditions, which influence soil development, groundwater
occurrence and fluctuations, erosion, flooding, slope failures, etc.
4. Regional seismicity and earthquake history.
5. Geologic hazards, both regional and local, such as ground
subsidence and collapse, slope failures, floods, and lahars.
6. Geologic constraints, both regional and local, such as expansive
soils, weak soils, shallow rock, groundwater, etc.

2011
2011
Subsurface Exploration
Objectives
1. To confirm or supplement the engineering geology map showing
shallow and surficial distributions of the various formations.
2. To determine the subsurface distribution of the geologic materials
and groundwater conditions.
3. To obtain samples of the geologic materials for identification and
laboratory testing.
4. To obtain in situ measurements of engineering properties
Preparation of Subsurface Exploration Program

Prepare the subsurface exploration program, considering the necessity
of:
1. Confirming the boundaries of the various geologic formations as
mapped.
2. Obtaining data for the preparation of geologic sections.
3. Obtaining samples for identification, classification, and laboratory
testing.
4. Obtaining in situ measurements of the engineering properties of the
materials.
2011
Exploration Method Categories
General Categories
1. Direct methods allow the examination of materials, usually
with the recovery of samples; examples are excavations
and test borings.
2. Indirect methods provide a measure of material properties;
examples are geophysicalmethods and the use of the cone
penetrometer, which through correlations allow an
estimation of material type.

Recovery of Samples and Cores
Objectives
Samples of geologic materials are recovered to allow detailed examination for
identification and classification, and to provide specimens for laboratory
testing to obtain data on their physical and engineering properties.
Sample Classes Based on Quality

Totally disturbed samples are characterized by the complete destruction of
fabric and structure and the mixing of materials such as that occurring in
wash and auger samples.
Representative samples are partially deformed. The engineering properties

(strength, compressibility, and permeability) are changed, but the original
fabric and structure vary from unchanged to distorted, and are still apparent.
Such distortion occurs with split-barrel samples.
Undisturbed samples may display slight deformations around their

perimeter, but for the most part, the engineering properties are unchanged.
Such results are obtained with tube or block samples.

2011
Sampler Selection
A number of factors are considered in the selection of samplers,
including:
1. Sample use, which varies from general determination of
material (wash sampler), to examination of material and fabric
and in situ testing (split-barrel sampler), to performing
laboratory index tests (split-barrel sampler), and to carrying out
laboratory engineering-properties tests (UD).
2. Soil type, since some samplers are suited only for particular
conditions, such as soft to firm soils vs. hard soils.
3. Rock conditions, since various combinations of rock bits and
core barrels are used, depending on rock type and quality and
the amount of recovery required.
4. Surface conditions, which vary from land or quiet water to
shallow or deep water with moderate to heavy swells.

Hydraulic Properties
Hydraulic properties, expressed in terms of permeability, are engineering
properties. They concern the flow of fluids through geologic media.
Mechanical Properties
Rupture strength and deformation characteristics are mechanical
properties. They are also engineering properties, and are grouped as static
or dynamic.
Correlations
Measurements of hydraulic and mechanical properties, which provide the
basis for all engineering analyses, are often costly or difficult to obtain with
reliable accuracy. Correlations based on basic or index properties, with
data obtained from other investigations in which extensive testing was
employed or engineering properties were evaluated by back-analysis of
failures, provide data for preliminary engineering studies as well as a check
on the reasonableness of data obtained during investigation

Rock masses are usually tested in situ to measure their engineering
properties, as well as their basic properties. In situ tests in rock masses,
their applications, and their limitations are summarized in Table 2.4.
Soils are tested in situ to obtain measures of engineering properties to

supplement laboratory data, and in conditions where undisturbed
sampling is difficult or not practical such as with highly organic
materials, cohesionless granular soils, fissured clays, and cohesive
soils with large granular particles (such as glacial till and residual soils).
In situ soil tests, properties measured, applications, and limitations are

summarized in Table 2.5.

Drilling and trial pitting are normally carried out for a number of reasons,
such as:
1. to establish the general nature of the strata below a site;
2. to establish the vertical or lateral variability of soil conditions;
3. to verify the interpretation of geophysical surveys;
4. to obtain samples for laboratory testing;
5. to allow in situ tests to be carried out; and
6. to install instruments such as piezometers, or extensometers
Geophysical methods (Chapter 4) may be used for:

1.Geological investigation, for example in determining the thickness of soft,
superficial deposits, and the depth to rock, and in establishing weathering
profiles, usually to provide cross sections;
2.Resource assessment, for example the location of aquifers, the
delineation of saline intrusion,the exploration of the extent of sand and
gravel deposits, and rock for aggregate;
3.Detecting critical buried features, such as voids (mineshafts, natural
cavities, adits, pipelines)and buried artefacts (old foundations, wrecks at
sea, etc.); and
4.Determining engineering parameters, such as dynamic elastic module,
and soil corrosivity.

Information may be obtained in situ in at least three ways:
1. By using geophysical techniques; in particular, Chapter 4
showed how seismic techniques may be used to obtain
valuable estimates of the stiffness of the ground;
2. By using in situ soil testing techniques, such as those
described in this chapter; and
3. By making measurements using field instrumentation, such
as is described in Chapter 10.
