Site characterization is a systematic study conducted to collect data regarding in-situ ground conditions. The main purpose of site investigation is to derive the subsurface -characteristics in order to predict soil and/or rock behavior at a minimal cost. Investigations performed for site characterization may include first an examination of geologic and hydrogeologic maps, followed by in-situ testing, borehole logging, excavation, geophysical testing, and sampling to conduct laboratory testing, and evaluation of groundwater conditions. With site characterization, engineers estimate the geotechnical parameters that are necessary for efficient and cost-effective geotechnical engineering analysis and design.
