Full Description
This exam evaluates understanding of the geotechnical site characterization process and its methodologies. Key concepts include site investigation techniques, soil sampling, and laboratory testing procedures.
Effective site characterization is vital for successful project planning. Knowledge in this area underpins the identification of subsurface conditions that may affect the design and construction of foundations and earth structures.
Students will be tested on their ability to explain investigation methodologies, interpret test results, and assess implications for engineering design.
Candidates should also address the importance of subsurface conditions in identifying potential risks in geotechnical projects.
