Explain geological considerations in site investigation of buildings.

Geological Considerations in the site investigation of buildings:

1. The site selected should be hard enough to construct a building. The side should not be in marshy area. If the area is marshy, special care can be taken according to the need.

2.  The foundation should rest on the stable soil layer. If it is a bedrock, that will be the best. 

3. The stability of the building depends upon the compaction and consolidation.

4.  The groundwater conditions should be studied before construction of the building because due to the presence of water, the soil layer cannot bear load up to its original strength.

5. Consolidated, hard rock is favorable site for building construction.

6. Small or no dipping of the strata is quite favorable as such rocks are more competent and stable.

7. Unconsolidated soft rock or soil, presence of Steep bedding or shear plan....

7. Unconsolidated soft rock or soil, presence of Steep bedding or shear planes are unfavourable and special design consideration of foundation should be taken in this case.
