Soil tests

                                                                   Soil tests

Soil tests are essential in designing the right foundation and determining the right cost or cost. It is important to know that the foundation design of a house is not possible without a soil test at the construction site. Soil testing must be done in the construction of any low ground or filled soil.

Soil Testing Methods at Site:

. 1To inspect and survey the site or plot.
2. Select the boring number and location according to the field conditions and complete the boring task accordingly.
3. Determine the boring depth as needed.
4. Collecting intact and scattered samples of soil at each boring site and testing in the laboratory.
5. Determine the SPT value of the soil at 8 feet with boring or drilling and find out the safe bearing capacity of the soil.
6. Field test and lab test results.
7. Finally, prepare a final report on the soil test and comment on the foundation of the house accordingly.

Boring placement (according to boring number and distance)
B: Note: According to the general rules, each floor of the building should have 5 meters boring.

Depending on the width or side of the building, the boring depth is as follows:

There are usually two types of soil test tests
 Soil Field Test
A. Plate Load Bearing Test: This is a simple instrument operated method by which the ultimate bearing capacity and soil compression can be measured or determined at any level of the soil. Further, the results computed by this test can be compared and validated.

B. SPT Test: Soil sample collected as SP (TP = Standard Penetration Test) can determine the N (d) value of soil.

Tests are done in the laboratory. Each boring in the field is calculated after 3 feet and the N (d) value (), which directly directs the bearing capacity of the soil.

B: The SPT value can be used to directly detect and test soil bearing capacity in the field.

2. Soil Lab Test:
According to ASTM - soil lab tests are generally as follows:
A) Moisture Content Test
B) plasticity test
C) Relative significance test
D) Density test
E) Consolidation Test
F) Direct share test, etc.

B: The final test report is prepared and commented on the results of the above test.
