CASI Construction Academy Presents a 2 day Soil Investigation for Construction Workshop. In all sectors of construction, soil mechanics plays an important role in determining the stability of structures like buildings, pavements, roadways, and weirs. Errors in foundation design can precipitate severe structural issues, even collapse, posing significant challenges and expenses for rectification. Diagonal cracks often stem from differential settlement, exacerbated by factors like water table fluctuations near existing buildings. Roadway pavement problems, such as cracking and rutting, often result from inadequate subgrade testing, leading to accidents. Soil investigation, complicated by varied soil forms and properties, necessitates meticulous laboratory or field testing to ensure accurate results. This Soil Investigation workshop offers comprehensive insights into soil mechanics, addressing challenges and providing effective solutions to ensure construction integrity and safety.
