Assalam O Alykum all Is the any code that specifies that the location, numbers, center to center distance and depth of bore hole? shall be minimum up to that range ? Does it also depend on the number of stories or area? Or it is purely based on engineering judgement and experience. How can we mark the location of bore holes other than seeing the heavy loaded areas? In the bore hole location plan. BS code 8002 specify that, the number of boreholes, or other form of investigation, should be adequate to establish the ground conditions along the length of the wall and to ascertain the variability in those conditions. The centers between boreholes will vary from site to site but should generally be at intervals of 10 m to 50 m along the length of wall. Will be thankful if seniors can comment on this

Aoa. What do you think, should be the qualification of a person, authorized to carry out soil investigation, and to provide allowable soil bearing pressures for the design of foundations? Whether he/she should be a civil / geotechnical engineer, or a normal geologist having no engineering degree? Reference to relevant rule or code, if any?

Please guide me about calculating the rotational stiffness factor for soil. How we calculate this and what are the values used for this factor normally?
