 6.1 General requirements

 

(1) P The results of a geotechnical investigation shall be compiled in the Ground Investigation Report which shall form a part of the Geotechnical Design Report.

 

(1) P The Ground Investigation Report shall consist of, if appropriate:

 

a presentation of all available geotechnical information including geological features and relevant data;

a geotechnical evaluation of the information, stating the assumptions made in the interpretation of the test results.

 

 

 6.2 Presentation of geotechnical information

 

(1) P The presentation of geotechnical information shall include a factual account of all field and laboratory investigations.

 

 

 6.3 Presentation of geotechnical information

 

(1) P The evaluation of the geotechnical information shall be documented and include, if appropriate:

 

the results and a review of the field investigations,

laboratory tests and all other information;

a description of the geometry of the strata;

detailed descriptions of all strata including their physical properties and their deformation and strength characteristics;

comments on irregularities such as cavities.

 

 

 6.4 Establishment of derived values

 

(1) P If correlations have been used to derive geotechnical parameters or coefficients, the correlations and their applicability shall be documented.
