1.0.1 This code is formulated with a view to implement the related national technical-economic policies in the geotechnical investigation activities, to accomplish state-of-the-art technology and economic feasibility, to ensure engineering quality and to improve investment benefit.
1.0.2 This Code is applicable to the geotechnical investigation of the engineering projects excluding hydraulic works, railway, highway, bridge and culverts.
1.0.3 Prior to the engineering and construction of the projects, the geotechnical investigation must be carried out according to the basic construction procedure.
1.0.3 A The geotechnical investigation shall, according to the requirements of each investigation stages of the engineering construction, exactly reflect the engineering geological conditions, and ascertain the adverse geological action and geological disaster. Through meticulous investigation and careful analysis, an investigation report presenting integral information and accurate assessment shall be provided.
1.0.4 For the geotechnical investigation, not only the requirements stipulated in this Code but also those in the current relevant ones of the nation shall be complied with.
