R401.4.1


Section R401.4.1 is titled 'Geotechnical evaluation' and covers the requirements for providing allowable base assumptions of soil bearing values. The allowance for using load bearing values of soils, provided in a cross-referenced table in this code, in lieu of requiring soil testing is established. The purpose of this section is to prevent structural failure. Note that the table has 2 footnotes, one of which in essence, overrides this section's allowance for use of the table.

The model shows five 1 sq.ft. soil areas being loaded with symbolic weight in correlation to the cross-referenced table. Can you name the class of material of each area?
