Field Testing in Geotechnical Engineering

Field testing is a crucial component of geotechnical investigations. Engineers perform tests directly on-site to measure soil strength, density and material behaviour.

Common Field Tests Include

  • Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests
  • Borehole drilling and logging
  • Soil sampling
  • Inspection pit excavations
  • Percolation testing

These tests provide engineers with accurate data that supports safe engineering design and construction planning.
