The geotechnical investigation included 100-ft deep SPT borings with continuous sampling for the upper 50-ft then sampling at 5-ft intervals. The borings were carried out on the bridges at the intersection of PR-18 with PR-17 and their respective ramps, as well as bridges on PR-18 between the exits from PR-17 & Ave. Domenech. Some were carried out next to the basin of the Rio Puerto Nuevo Channel. More than 600 laboratory tests were performed on the samples obtained, including tests such as Gradation Test, Atterberg Limits, CU Triaxial, UU Triaxial, Consolidation, among others.
