Provide a brief history of soil exploration and what methods are most commonly used today <\/p>\n
Discuss advantages\/disadvantages to the most commonly used testing methods<\/p>\n
Discussion<\/p>\n
Which laboratory experiments would need to be performed to obtain similar information? Which is more accurate? <\/p>\n
As an engineer, it is important to be aware of the benefits and shortcomings of in- situ and laboratory testing as they pertain each individual application or project. There is no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 in geotechnical investigation. Discuss the factors of a project (i.e., size, type, importance, location, etc.) and how they would influence your choice of testing. When would one be preferred over the other? When should a combination be used?<\/p>\n
