​
From Borelog to Design Parameters

Attach a soil investigation report and the Structural Agent reads it the way you would: soil strata, SPT N-values, groundwater, lab results. Ask for the interpretation you need, from a summary table of design parameters to a preliminary ERSS (earth retaining and stabilizing structure) concept to take into scheme design.
Preliminary means preliminary. The agent’s interpretation and concepts are a starting point for the geotechnical and structural engineers of record, not a substitute for them. Verify parameters against the source report before any design rests on them.

Interpret the SI Report

1

Attach the report

Attach the SI report with the + button, or tag it with @ if it is already in your Files area. Multi-hundred-page reports are fine; tell the agent which boreholes matter if you know.

Ask for the interpretation you need

Example: parameter summary
Example: specific questions

Check the output against the source

The agent reports what the document says and where it says it. Spot-check the values against the borelogs before they go into a calc.

​
Develop a Preliminary ERSS Concept

With the ground model established, describe the excavation and your constraints:
Example
The agent lays out the options with its assumptions stated, so each one can be checked and taken forward or discarded. Ask for the comparison as a table or a short report (in your company’s format, if your templates are set up). Follow-ups sharpen the concept:
Give the constraints, get a better concept. Adjacent structures, groundwater, headroom limits, and sequencing drive ERSS selection more than the soil does. Name them in the prompt.

​
Temporary Works Checks

The same pattern covers temporary works: attach the drawings or the contractor’s submission and ask for a first-pass check.
