To investigate sub-soil condition, collect disturbed /undisturbed soil/rock samples, conduct various tests to determine and classify soil/rock strata, ascertain safe bearing capacity.
Borrow Area- Soil, Existing Pavement Crust Materials, In-situ tests (CBR, Compaction), Quarries/Mines (Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate) Core Cutting.
By using NDTs like UPV, Rebound Hammer, Half Cell Potentiometer etc. or by using destructive tests like Core cutting and testing.
