2. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

   Subsurface exploration usually involves soil sampling and laboratory tests of the soil samples retrieved. Geotechnical investigations are very important before any structure can be built, ranging from a single house to a large warehouse, a multi-storey building, and infrastructure projects like bridges, high-speed rail, and metros.

   The tests also include soil pH, organic matter and cation exchange capacity. Each test includes nutrient application recommendations for the targeted crop or plant species based on the sample results.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

   In geotechnical engineering, a soil test can be used to determine the physical characteristics of a soil, such as its water content, void ratio or bulk density. Soil testing can also provide information related to the shear strength, rate of consolidation and permeability of the soil. The following is a non-exhaustive list of engineering soil ...

   Attendees will even be able to pre-order rain barrel kits or kits with a barrel to install at their home. Attendees can even bring their own soil samples to the chat to be tested; fees will vary ...

   Soil testing-This service typically includes testing the soil for its moisture content, the specific gravity of soil, compaction test, and dry dense test. [8] This is done to eliminate any unwanted surprises that directly correspond to any subsurface conditions.

7. Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_engineering

   Subsurface exploration usually involves in-situ testing (for example, the standard penetration test and cone penetration test). The digging of test pits and trenching (particularly for locating faults and slide planes) may also be used to learn about soil conditions at depth. Large-diameter borings are rarely used due to safety concerns and ...

8. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

   The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils.

   In that case, the safest bet is to test your soil to see if its PH is too high (that means an alkalinity over eight), or if it's tainted with contaminants. Test prices range between $100 and $200 ...
