Undertaking geotechnical investigations

Abstract

Introduction The concept of a firm foundation to any stable structure, be it political, financial or physical, is one of the most commonly accepted metaphors in use today. Since every building has to be supported by the ground and to interact with it in a manner which is acceptable to the user, it is surprising that often so little attention is paid to the determination of the ground's characteristics.
