The prediction of subsurface conditions at building sites is a prime responsibility of the geotechnical engineer, and the improved accuracy with which he can make such predictions is a continual challenge. Information is derived primarily by studying the local geological and groundwater conditions, and from sampling and testing of soil and rock. In most instances, this procedure provides adequate assessment of the conditions likely to be encountered during construction. Increasingly, however, particularly in towns and cities, building sites are located where the natural terrain may have been altered significantly by earlier human activity, such as the erection and demolition of buildings and other structures, excavation and subsequent filli...
