Guidelines for Performing Foundation Investigations for Miscellaneous Structures

摘要

This manual provides guidance on geotechnical investigation requirements for miscellaneous nonhydraulic and hydraulic structures. Miscellaneous hydraulic structures covered in this manual include, but are not limited to, small pipelines (no wider than 120 inches), canals (with capacities no greater than 1,000 ft3/s), check structures, diversion structures, pumping plants, storage tanks, and support buildings. This manual does not cover dam design or design for large plant structures that require more intensive investigations and laboratory testing.
