As a result of the aforementioned efforts, the necessity of the soil improvement and the proper type of the foundation should be determined. In this study, the consistency of the soil investigation reports with regulations have been evaluated within the scope of the land and laboratory studies. 885 soil investigation reports, which have been prepared since 10 August 2005 in Eskişehir, were examined according to the “General Format of the Soil and Sub-surface Investigations”, published by the Ministry of Public Works and Settlement on 10 August 2005 which includes the operational requirements to be followed during the soil investigation studies. In consequence of these examinations, certain errors and deficiencies were detected in the reports. As a result of the study, the deficiencies and the mistakes that were observed in recent soil investigation reports have been identified and what precautions should be taken to overcome such deficiencies have been determined.
