The following supplementary investigation is made to give a full picture of the site

investigation of soil as well as the structure.

1. Any special features such as the possibility of each quake or climatic factors such as
flooding, seasonal swelling, and shrinkage, Performa frost, or Soil erosion.
2. The availability and quality of local constructional materials such as concrete
aggregates, building and road stone, and water for constructional purposes.
3. For maritime or river structures information on normal spring and neap tide ranges,
extreme high and low tidal ranges and river levels, seasonal river levels and
discharges, the velocity of the tidal and river currents and other hydrographic and
meteorological data.
4. Results of laboratory tests on soil and rock samples appropriate to the particular
foundation design or construction problems.
5. Results of chemical analysis of soil fill materials, and ground water to determine
possible deleterious effects on foundation structures.
6. Results of chemical and bacteriological analysis of contaminated soils, fill materials and
emissions to determine health hazard risks.
