I have a difficult time understanding this report I received from a project on a island in Russia. I'm looking for soil bearing capacity, particularly over 4000psf. But I can determine what the soil bearing is from this chart.
Thanks
John

This appears to me (having no Russian know how)to be nothing more than a batch of soil laboratory test results. I don't even see any relationship to boring numbers and depths.

I suggest passing this data to a geotech engineer, but also verify as to where these samples come from as to location and depth. More than this may be needed from the site.
 
Agree with oldestguy - do you not have a log? Interesting that there is no "depth" below ground level for the samples . . . I take these as samples as they have 3 and 3a as did OG.

Question - why are you involved? What are you designing. Do you not have a local partner who could sort of help out in understanding what you have?
