Soil Investigation and Testing Works Berlian and Nilam Konvensional Terminal Tanjung Perak Port Surabaya

The foundation is an important part of a building structural system, where the foundation functions as a load transfer from the upper structures to the soil layer below. Foundation planning cannot be separated from the knowledge of soil behavior, whereas soil behavior is related to soil type. The behavior of clay soil is different from sandy soil in accepting the load of a structure.

Therefore, soil investigation is needed in planning the foundation of a building structure. The results of soil investigation can show the physical and technical properties of the soil. These two properties are needed to determine the behavior of the soil in receiving the load of a structure.
