What are the soil tests required for a 3 storey building and the standards for each test?
With the previous answer, I would like to add the following. Bearing capacity plays a major role in the foundation design of a structure. Bearing capacity (kN/sq.m) is the maximum load that the soil can take per unit area without failure, displacement, or yielding. Bearing capacity depends on the soRead more
With the previous answer, I would like to add the following.
Bearing capacity plays a major role in the foundation design of a structure. Bearing capacity (kN/sq.m) is the maximum load that the soil can take per unit area without failure, displacement, or yielding. Bearing capacity depends on the soils structure, density, permeability, porosity, and shear strength. Mostly, based on the bearing capacity, we arrive at the type and dimensions on the footing,
The tests have already been included in the answer by Vivek Patel.

Investigation of soil depends upon the type of soil and its topographic condition but not to the number of storeys. For a three-storey building, the soil must be stable with good bearing capacity and does not show any settlement in the previous loading. The following are the tests performed on the sRead more
Investigation of soil depends upon the type of soil and its topographic condition but not to the number of storeys.
For a three-storey building, the soil must be stable with good bearing capacity and does not show any settlement in the previous loading.
The following are the tests performed on the soil to check its geotechnical properties during the construction of any structure; it may be three storeys or more.
Hope you get the answer.
