#Disturbed undisturbed soil samples series

into the soil without greater power and thus without soil disturbance is only. Undisturbed soil samples retained in liners or seamless tube samplers shall be removed, without causing any disturbance to the samples, using suitably. The rig is relatively small and moves on tracks which means it is ideal for small sites where access is restricted. Keywords: Undisturbed soil samples, CT, soil structure, root system. The data obtained can be used to estimate the depths of at the interface between hard and soft strata and to trace the outline of objects buried underground. A limitation with Dynamic Probing is that although it will supply information on ground strength, it is not possible to retrieve any soils samples, so the type of geology being drilled through has to be inferred. The purpose of the two holes was to try to identify the causes for several types of sample disturbance which are frequency encountered in undisturbed samples. (10 m) away, was taken using the prescribed sampling procedures.

SPT N value of 50 or more), drilling can be supplemented with Dynamic Probing which involves the driving of a metal cone into the ground through a series of 1-metre length steel rods and recording the number of blows that is required to drive the cone down each 100mm increment. undisturbed samples were taken while deliberately using improper procedures. The tubes are available in 38mm or 45mm or 50mm or 63mm or 76mm and in any. It is a thin walled steel or stainless steel tube, 1.6mm or 2.0mm thick, with one end sharpened and rolled and the other end has holes drilled in the sides to screw the tube onto a Drive Adaptor. However it may not be able to penetrate through difficult geology such as dense sand and gravels or rock. the soil is located above the impermeable rock at a specific slope, then the incoming water will be retained and the soil at a certain. The Push-Tube sampler is for taking undisturbed samples in normal soils.

Normally the rig is able to drill to depths of 10 – 15 metres below ground level (mbgl) depending on the local geology encountered. Dynamic Windowless Sampling is useful for undertaking both environmental and geotechnical site investigations. Our Windowless Sampler (Dando Terrier) can carry out disturbed and undisturbed soil sampling, in-situ SPT testing and dynamic probing.
