Site investigation provides essential geotechnical parameter information for analysis and design. However, three conflicting objectives, namely exploration effort, robustness and parameter uncertainty, pose a challenge to the development of an optimal site investigation program. In this study, a three objective optimization framework for the site investigation program is proposed based on the Bayesian approach and the non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA‐II). The only inputs required by the proposed framework are prior distribution of geotechnical parameters and error information. The prior distribution of geotechnical parameters is derived from integrating engineering experience and measurements from basic exploration boreholes. The error information is obtained based on literature and expert judgment related to the specific project. Firstly, a design pool of candidate investigation programs is generated using Bayesian approach to determine the locations and number of exploration boreholes. The NSGA‐II is then applied to identify the optimal program that balances lower cost, higher robustness, and lower uncertainty. The proposed multiobjective optimization framework is illustrated and validated through a real site investigation case in Chongqing, China, aimed at determining the ultimate bearing capacity of the rock foundation. The spatial correlation of parameters within the study area is also considered. The optimal program is represented by the location and number of exploration boreholes. By comparing measurements with predictions from different site investigation programs, the efficiency of the proposed multiobjective framework is demonstrated. Additionally, the influence of engineering experience and random field modeling on the investigation program is discussed.
