Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering Interview Questions and Answers
1. What is geotechnical engineering?
Answer:
Geotechnical engineering deals with soil, rock, and ground behavior to design safe foundations, retaining structures, and ground improvement systems for construction projects.
2. What are deep foundations?
Answer:
Deep foundations transfer structural loads to deeper, stronger soil or rock layers when surface soil cannot support the load.
3. What types of piles are commonly used in foundation projects?
Answer:
Common pile types include:
- Bored cast-in-situ piles
- Driven piles
- Under-reamed piles
- Micro piles
- Sheet piles
4. What is bore piling?
Answer:
Bore piling is a method where a hole is drilled into the ground and filled with reinforcement and concrete to form a load-bearing pile.
5. What is diaphragm wall construction?
Answer:
A diaphragm wall is a reinforced concrete wall constructed in slurry-supported trenches, mainly used for deep excavations and basement structures.
6. What is slurry in piling work?
Answer:
Slurry (bentonite or polymer) is used to stabilize boreholes and prevent collapse during drilling operations.
7. Why is pile load testing important?
Answer:
Pile load testing verifies the load-carrying capacity and settlement behavior of piles before full-scale construction.
8. What is the difference between end-bearing and friction piles?
Answer:
End-bearing piles transfer load to hard strata, while friction piles transfer load through skin friction along the pile length.
9. What is soil bearing capacity?
Answer:
Soil bearing capacity is the maximum load per unit area that soil can safely support without failure or excessive settlement.
10. What are common ground improvement techniques?
Answer:
Techniques include:
- Vibro compaction
- Stone columns
- Soil stabilization
- Jet grouting
- Preloading
11. What tests are conducted before foundation design?
Answer:
- Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
- Borehole sampling
- Plate load test
- Soil classification tests
12. What is SPT?
Answer:
SPT (Standard Penetration Test) measures soil resistance and helps determine soil strength and foundation suitability.
13. What is pile integrity testing?
Answer:
It checks the continuity and quality of piles using non-destructive methods like low-strain impact testing.
14. What precautions are taken during pile concreting?
Answer:
- Continuous concrete pouring
- Proper tremie pipe placement
- Avoiding segregation
- Monitoring concrete volume
15. What causes pile defects?
Answer:
- Improper slurry control
- Poor concreting
- Borehole collapse
- Reinforcement misplacement
16. What is shoring?
Answer:
Shoring provides temporary support to excavations to prevent soil collapse during construction.
17. What safety risks exist in foundation works?
Answer:
- Borehole collapse
- Equipment failure
- Working near deep excavations
- Crane and piling rig operations
18. What documents are important in foundation projects?
Answer:
- Method statements
- Inspection checklists
- Load test reports
- Concrete and material test records
19. How do you control quality in piling works?
Answer:
By monitoring drilling depth, slurry parameters, reinforcement placement, concreting process, and maintaining test records.
20. What is your role as a Site Engineer in foundation works?
Answer:
To supervise execution, ensure quality and safety, coordinate with teams, maintain records, and report progress to management.
