Strength comparison of modified shelby tube samples
2015
Overview
Prior to the construction of buildings or land development, a subsurface study is performed within the areas of the proposed buildings or within the extents of the anticipated land development. These studies are referred to as a Geotechnical investigations, explorations or assessments. These studies provide pertinent data, information and recommendations to be used in project design and during construction. This data is obtained from subsurface soil samples obtained within the areas of interest and tested using accepted applicable standards. Typically, these samples are obtained by using the Split Spoon (SPT) sampling method for granular soils and utilizing a Shelby tube for cohesive soils. Soil samples obtained using a Split Spoon and Shelby tubes are considered to be disturbed and undisturbed, respectively. The study or was performed in order to evaluate and compare the shear strength of select soil samples collected using a modified and traditional Shelby tube method This study will determine if using a modified Shelby tube to collect subsurface soils will constitute a multiplying factor for strength determination and consider these samples as disturbed or undisturbed.
