Key Points

To evaluate how geotechnical properties influence the foundation design for buildings and structures.
Conducted site assessments in the south-central region of Nigeria
Analyzed various geotechnical properties relevant to foundation stability
Investigated the relationships between soil types and structural integrity
Identified critical soil properties that affect foundation performance
Demonstrated significant variation in load-bearing capacity among different soil types
Found correlations between inadequate site assessments and structural failures
