Geotechnical Foreman UPDATED SCRIPT
2026 PRACTICE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Shallow Foundation. Answer: For transferring building loads to the
underlying ground, mostly for firm soils or light loads, and differential
settlement.
● Soil Mechanics. Answer: A discipline that applies the principles of
engineering mechanics to soils to predict the mechanical behavior of
soil.
● Geotechnical Engineering. Answer: The branch of civil engineering
that deals with soil, rock, and underground water, and their relation to
the design construction and operation of engineering projects.
● Deep Foundation. Answer: For transferring building loads to the
underlying ground, mostly for weak soils or heavy loads.
● Deep Foundation Systems. Answer: Driven Piles and Drilled Shafts.
● Soil Testing. Answer: Includes Vane Shear Test and Standard
Penetration Test.
