Continue Reading Gilson and Fritsch: Teaming Up to Make Sample Preparation EasyPerforming geotechnical and engineering tests on soils in the field is a combination of necessity and practicality. In this two-part series, this first post looks at methods, procedures, and equipment needed for field sampling and visual classification of soils.
Continue Reading Soil Sampling & Visual Classification, Methods & ProceduresWith a little thought and planning, you can avoid duplicating the equipment needed to perform many sample preparation tasks. Many ASTM and AASHTO soil tests performed follow similar techniques and use the same or similar equipment to set up samples for your soil testing.
Continue Reading Soil Sample Preparation: Saving Money in Your Geotechnical LabThis blog post will focus on the core drilling method and the core sampling equipment. We discuss why and how core samples are taken from asphalt and concrete. Lastly, we touch on some of the different lab tests performed.
