👉Objectives of Soil Investigation
💫1. To determine the type and stratification (layers) of soil beneath the site.
💫2. To find out the bearing capacity of the soil how much load it can safely support.
💫3. To determine the depth of the water table (groundwater level).
💫4. To detect any weak or problematic soils (e.g., expansive clay, peat).
💫5. To recommend the most suitable type of foundation (e.g., raft, pad, pile).
💫6. To estimate settlement and stability under loading.
