Principles & Practices of Commercial Construction
Chapter 2
Appropriate funding, & a site for the construction - ANS-What 2 items must an owner provide to
ensure a reasonable chance of success in the construction of a new building?

design of building, and production and coordination of all drawings and specifications,
architectural, structural, electrical, & mechanical. - ANS-What are the major responsibilities of
the architect?

natural dry density, natural moisture content, pocket penetrometer, unconfined compression,
liquid limit, plasticity index, soluble sulfates, soil resistivity, soil pH, penetration resistance for last
30cm of tube travel. Also description of soils obtained, methods used in obtaining test samples,
depths at which these samples were taken, condition of the samples, results of any tests
performed on the samples at the time of drilling, and the location where free water was
encountered. - ANS-What pieces of information may be found in a field log report concerning
the soil test samples?

presence and quantity of fluids, mineral salt content of fluids, volume of pore spaces, pore size
and distribution, degree of saturation, and other factors. - ANS-soil conductivity and resistivity
vary according to:

primary investigation deals with evaluation of the physical state of the building site during the
design stage of the project. The secondary investigation is done by the general contractor just
before actual construction begins. - ANS-What are 2 primary differences between a primary and
secondary site investigation?

Refraction Seismographs work on the principle that shock waves travel at particular and
well-defined velocities through materials of various densities. The denser the material, the
greater the speed. If the speed of the shockwave is known, the type, hardness, and depth of the
stratum may be accurately determined.

Electrical resistivity measurement's method of analysis depends on the earth's materials and
formations and their ability to conduct current. So the current follows good conductors, and
avoids bad ones. - ANS-Explain clearly the principle on which a refraction seismograph
instrument works and the principle involved in the operation of an earth resistivity meter

The nature of the soil with regards to its general particle size makeup, the possibility of frost
penetration, the groundwater level, penetration resistance, shear strength, compaction (factor of
dry density and water content, measured using modified proctor curve) - ANS-what items might
be found in the soil profile that could affect the type of foundation used in the structure?
