Abstract
AbstractThe characteristics of different subsoil layers and groundwater conditions are the most significant factors when estimating the response of the ground under changing stress conditions. The interaction between the ground properties of the various homogeneous areas determine the portfolio of geotechnical solutions for achieving technical project requirements. Consequently the determination of realistic parameters has a decisive influence on the selection of potential geotechnical methods both during design and execution. This opportunity for achieving an optimal design and construction method can quickly become a risk to everyone when the soil at the site has not been investigated adequately, and subsequently structural damages occur together with all the related consequences. Using a case study from real construction projects, it will be shown how site investigations can lead to additional opportunities to meet the project goals for everyone involved in the construction task.
