The main purpose of Geotechnical investigations is to acquire information regarding the physical characteristics of soil and rocks and to design earthworks and foundations for structures, and to execute earthwork repairs necessitated due to changes in the subsurface environment. A geotechnical examination includes surface and subsurface exploration,
