Geotechnical engineering is a fundamental subject in civil and environmental engineering that engineers are required to refer to when any type of retro tting, design or construction of projects and developments are encountered in a city or in a rural area. Indeed in many projects like geotechnical structures, such as earth dams, geotechnical

The Federal Highway Administration's 2017 Geotechnical Site Characterization (GEC5) is a helpful resource that encompasses the overall investigation philosophy and may be used as a general reference. 3.2 PURPOSE OF GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION The purpose of the geotechnical investigation is to identify the existing conditions of the in-situ
level of geotechnical investigation for each phase were discussed in Chapter 1. The Design Manual M 22-01 Chapter 510 and Chapter 1 provide guidance concerning the roles and responsibilities of the Region Materials Engineer and the Geotechnical Office, as well as information on initiating geotechnical work, scheduling and site
