Which is defined under the Australian Standard AS2870. The relevant classifications and expected movements under normal site conditions and seasonal influences are: Site classification Description of type of clay and reactivity Expected range of movement A Mostly sand and rock with little or no ground movement from moisture changes.
The example shown here has been taken from Standards Australia Handbook HB28 – 1997, ‘The design of residential slabs and footings’, pp. Movement ratio versus unit stiffness Last but not least, the graph of movement ratio versus unit stiffness also suggests flaws in the AS2870 model.

The Engineering of the Coastal Limestones of Western Australia
In March 2008, the Western Australian Chapter of the AGS held a seminar on The Engineering of the Coastal Limestones of Western Australia. The aim of the seminar was to educate engineers and geologists about the characteristics of the limestone of Western Australia and provide case studies that demonstrate the engineering challenges presented by this material.
The seminar included presentations by academics and local practitioners who have many years of experience in characterising and working with Limestones in Western Australia. An afternoon field trip to sites around Perth was conducted to observe the stratigraphy and engineering features of the limestones.
Some of the presentations given at this seminar are available to download:

What should the geotechnical profession know about the changes in the Code?
The Code gives references to parties their functions and responsibilities to using the code. An example is the Classifier and Qualified Engineer. Reference is made to role of Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers.
To understand the responsibilities of the qualified engineers using the code, the objective of the Code is needed to be understood and its relevant contents. A review will be made of the Scope, Site Classification, example of a Site Investigation for a Classification, estimation of the Characteristic Surface Movement, excavations and filling, Site Investigation requirements, Design by Engineering Principles, requirements in Aggressive soils, Deep footings requiring Geotechnical Site Investigations, Driven Piles, Screw Piles and a Guide to Design of Footings for trees.
Speaker biographies
The presenters Dr Peter Mitchell (Aurecon) and Jan Mikucki (FMG Engineering) have a combined 75 years of practice in this field. Both have been authors for over 125 thousand reports requiring drilling and logging of subsurface soils and recommendations including site classifications and recommendations on preparations of foundations and footings selections.
Peter and Jan are active members of the Footings Group Committee with Peter past Chairperson and Jan current Chairperson. The committee was involved in the review of the 2011 draft and contributed to the original 1986 copy. Peter and Jan are also active members of the Australian Geomechanics Society with Peter once a Chairperson and Jan currently on the committee.
Engineers Australia members participating in AGS technical sessions can record attendance on their personal CPD logs. Members should refer to Engineers Australia CPD policy for details on CPD types, requirements and auditing guidelines.
