Explain the Geotechnical Category Of the Project.

Some of the Geotechnical categories can be explained under

• Category 1

• Category 2

• Category 3

Category 1:

• It involves relatively small structures.

• Fundamental requirements will be satisfied on the basis of experience and qualitative geotechnical investigations.

• There is negligible risk.

• Geotechnical complexity is low.

• Simplified design procedures applied.

Category 2:

• It involves conventional types of  structures.

• There is no any exceptional risk.

• Design includes quantitative geotechnical data and analysis for satisfying the fundamental requirements.

Category 3:

• Structures which fall outside the limit of categories 1 and 2 fall within category 3 (Very large and unusual structures).

• Structures in highly seismic areas.

• It requires special measures and separate investigation.

• Abnormal risks,or unusual ground conditions.
