Chapter:
Explain Geotechnical Category Of Project.
Some of the Geotechnical categories can be explained under
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Category 1:
It involves relatively small structures.
Fundamental requirements will be satisfied on the basis of experience and qualitative geotechnical investigations.
There is negligible risk.
Geotechnical complexity is low.
Simplified design procedures applied.
Category 2:
It involves conventional types of structures.
There is no any exceptional risk.
Design includes quantitative geotechnical data and analysis for satisfying the fundamental requirements.
Category 3:
Structures which fall outside the limit of categories 1 and 2 fall within category 3 (Very large and unusual structures).
