The current local practice of geotechnical engineering.
CONCLUDING REMARKS )Cont.(
Causes of building damages in the Kingdom are in many instances attributed to foundation-related problems.
Inappreciative realization of the need and importance of geotechnical information.
Elaborate discussions preceded any modification or augmentation of any portion of the IBC document.

Some sections in the IBC have been extended to become entire new chapters in the SBC 303
Design for expansive soils have thoroughly been enhanced with the additions of foundation systems and by emphasizing pre- and post-construction detailing.
Provisions relevant to identification and testing of Collapsing and sabkha formations have been added to “Site Investigations”, and entire chapter has been devoted for each soil type
CONCLUDING REMARKS )Cont.(
Out of the seventeen chapters that comprise the SBC 303 document, six were entirely new and five were substantially revised.
The newly-introduced materials account for almost sixty percent of the SBC 303 document, and excluding the pile and pier portion this proportion approaches about seventy five percent.
One-half of the IBC document was devoted to pile and pier foundations, on the contrary materials pertaining to those foundation systems represent only about twenty percent of the SBC 303 document.
CONCLUDING REMARKS )Cont.(
Where the recommendations in this code vary from published methods or codes, the differences represent the experience and judgment of the majority of the committee members.
Although the adopted provisions presume the existence of certain standard conditions, more often than not every project has a unique combination of variables, and for that reason all attempts have been made to make this code flexible.
