Foreword

According to the requirements of JIANBIAO [1998] No. 244 issued by the Ministry of Construction (MOC), "Code for Investigation of Geotechnical Engineering" GB 50021-1994 shall be revised. In the revision procedure, the chief development organization - MOC Integrated Investigation Research and Design Institute, together with the relevant investigation, engineering, research, teaching organizations, are consisted of a preparation group to extensively solicit for opinions nationwide and to prepare a special report on the key modified parts. In addition, the preparation group also has coordinated with the implementing and revising national standards involved for many times. Through repeated discussion and revision, the preparation group successively prepares first draft, exposure draft and approval draft for examining and finalizing. This Code basically remains the application scope, entire framework and primary coverage of 1994 Edition and makes some partial adjustments accordingly. Now, the Code comprises 14 chapters with the main contents as follows. 1. general provisions; 2. terms and symbols; 3. investigation classification and geotechnical classification; 4. basic requirements of engineering investigation; 5. adverse geological action and geological disaster; 6. special rock/soil; 7. groundwater; 8. engineering geological mapping and survey; 9. exploration and sampling; 10. in-situ testing; 11. indoor test; 12. Assessment of water and soil corrosion ; 13. In-situ inspection and monitoring; 14. Geotechnical engineering analysis assessment and result report. The major revised contents include . 1. The investigation of " nuclear power plant" 1s added into the application scope; 2. "Terms and Symbols" chapter is added; 3. Hardness classification and integrity classification of rock, and basic quality classification of rock mass are added; 4. The investigation requirements of "buildings and structures" as well as "pile foundation" are revised; 5. The investigation provisions of "underground cavity", "shoreside project", " foundation pit project" and " foundation treatment" are revised; 6. The section of "tailing dam and ash-storing dam" is replaced with "investigation of waste disposal project"; 7. The chapter name of "in-situ stability" is replaced with " adverse geological action and geological disaster"; 8. Sections "site and foundation m the meizoseismal area" and "seismic liquidation" are incorporated into a section named as " seismic effect of site and foundation"; 9. "collapsible soil" and" red clay" have been revised; 10. Investigation requirements of" groundwater" are strengthened; 11. "Deep load test" and "flat chisel side-bulge test" are added. The context is compressed so as to highlight the technical rules that must be abided by in the investigation works as the execution reference of the engineering quality examination. In the future, this Code might be revised partially and the relevant partial revision information and content of provisions will be published on the magazine, Standardization of Engineering Construction. The provisions printed in bold type are compulsory ones and must be enforced strictly. All relevant organizations are kindly requested to sum up and accumulate your experiences in actual practices during the process of implementing this Code. The relevant opinions and advice, whenever necessary, can be posted or passed on to MOC Integrated Investigation Research and Design Institute (No. 177, Dongzhimennei Avenue, Beijing, 100007, China). The participating development organizations and staffs are as follows. Chief development organization. MOC Integrated Investigation Research and Design Institute Participating development organization. Beijing Investigation and Design Institute; Shanghai Geotechnical investigation and Design Institute; Central-South Investigation and Design Institute; State Power Corporation Power Planning and Design Institute; Investigation Institute of the Ministry of Machine Building; China Ordnance Industrial Geotechnical Investigation Design Institute;
