SAMPLING TECHNIQUES ANG METHODS Flashcards
is a critical process in various
fields, including environmental
science, geology, and
construction, as it allows for
collecting representative
material from a larger body.
s Soil Sampling
can
be effective for disturbed soil sampling
below the water table,
particularly in loose materials
like sand and gravel but not reliable for cohesive soils
scraper bucket method
has a driving point and can be attached
to a drilling rod.
scraper bucket
are used for obtaining intact
specimens of fine-grained soils for laboratory tests to
determine engineering properties of soils
Thin-walled tube samples
This practice covers a procedure for using a
thin-walled metal tube to recover intact soil
samples suitable for laboratory tests of
engineering properties, such as strength,
compressibility, permeability, and density
