QUALITY OF SAMPLES (AFTER ROWE)

Quality Properties Purpose Typical Sampling

Class Procedure

1 - Remoulded properties Laboratory data on Piston thin walled

- Fabric in situ soils sampler with water
- Water content (classification tests balance
- Density and porosity & engineering
- Compressibility & deformation properties) Mazier sampler with
- Effective strength parameters foam drilling
- Total strength parameters
- Permeability* Block samples
- Consolidation*
2 - Remoulded properties Laboratory data on Pressed or driven thin
- Fabric in situ insensitive or thick walled
- Water content soils sampler with water
- Density and porosity balance
- Compressibility & deformation*
- Effective strength parameters* Mazier sampler
- Total strength parameters*

3 - Remoulded properties Fabric examination Pressed or driven thin

- Fabric A* 100% recovery. and laboratory data on or thick walled
Continuous remoulded soils samplers. Water
B * 90% recovery. balance in highly
Consecutive permeable soils.
4 - Remoulded properties Laboratory data on Bulk and jar samples
remoulded soils. (from SPT split
Sequence of strata samplers)
5 None Aproximate sequence Washings (washed
of strata only samples)

* Items changed from original German classification (7th. Int. Conf. Soil Mech. Foundn.
Engng. Mexico 1969).
