FOUNDATION AND
CIVIL ENGINEERING
SITE DEVELOPMENT
Site hydrology and land planning are two initial factors that influence land use and foundation
design. Part 1 addresses these concerns. Site hydrology involves both subsurface and surface water
content and movement. Land planning develops construction techniques intended to modate
hydrologic problems and provide best use of the parcel. Coverage of the topic will be rather
cursory—as a rule, foundation engineers are not involved with the early stages of development, but
an awareness of the potential problems is beneficial.
