Exercise
eng. phd Luca Piciullo
The area shown in the figure has been chosen for the realization of a 4-floors building. Geotechnical investigations have been
carried out along three vertical (S1, S2, S3). Moreover, the installation of piezometric cells showed the presence of a
piezometric line coinciding with the ground surface.
Referring to the results of boring works (Figure 2), verify if it is possible to build n. 3 stratigraphic sections to be taken as
reference in the subsequent identification of the geotechnical model of the subsoil.
