Geotechnical Analysis in Southern California
At NTS Geotechnical, we have highly experienced and professional geotechnical engineers that has the capability to provide advanced geotechnical analysis in Southern California. As part of the preparation of our geotechnical and geology reports, we perform geotechnical analysis that consist of liquefaction analysis and associated seismic settlement, static settlement analysis, foundation analysis to determine the most suitable foundation system, whether it is shallow spread/continuous footings, mat foundation or pile foundation. We also analyze the passive resistance of the footing, the lateral static and seismic earth pressures, and stability of natural and man-made slopes.
Based on our geotechnical analysis, we provide recommendations for foundations to support the planned structure and associated bearing capacity, lateral resistance and settlement. If you are planning on constructing a retaining wall or shoring system, we provide recommendations for lateral earth pressures, backfill, and drainage. Additionally, we evaluate the potential for the site soils to expand and/or how corrosive are the site soils. Mitigating expansive soil is crucial to the perform of your building and hiring the right geotechnical engineer can save you the headache and the cost to re-engineering your structure in the future. Lastly, evaluating the corrosivity of the soil can help you install the appropriate utility lines and evaluating the sulfate content found in the soil can help you select the right concrete mixture.
With the right geotechnical engineer performing site-specific geotechnical analysis in Southern California, you will save yourself future costly fix on your structure. It is important to ensure that you speak with a geotechnical engineer here at NTS to help direct you in the right path.
