A report of geotechnical investigation must include all of the following except?

  1. Location of tests

  2. Soil profile

  3. Temperature during test

  4. Elevation of water table

The correct answer is: Temperature during test

The requirement for a geotechnical investigation report is focused on providing critical data that informs construction and design decisions related to soil and site conditions. The key components of such a report include the location of tests, which indicates where soil samples were taken, and the soil profile, which describes the layers of soil encountered, including their composition and characteristics. Additionally, the elevation of the water table is crucial, as it affects soil stability and drainage considerations. In contrast, the temperature during testing is not typically a necessary component of a geotechnical investigation report. While temperature may have some influence on soil properties and behavior, it does not have the same level of direct relevance as the other factors listed. Therefore, the omission of temperature from this report aligns with standard practices in geotechnical engineering, making it the least critical detail among the options provided.
