<p>The purpose of this manual is to provide New York State Department of Transportation Construction Inspectors with a uniform procedure for taking random samples of backfill material for mechanically stabilized earth systems. The procedure describes how to ...

For a practical approach in routine site characterizations, the minimal standard of work should be seismic piezocone tests (SCPTu) or seismic flat dilatometer tests (SDMT), as up to 5 separate measurements of soil behavior are captured during a single sounding. ...

The purpose of the study described in this report is to compile and synthesize information on the geology and engineering properties of Piedmont residual soils, and on geotechnical engineering design methods appropriate for use in these soils. Considerable ...

This manual is the reference text used for the FHWA NHI course No. 132031 on Subsurface Investigations and reflects current practice for such. The planning, execution, and interpretation of geotechnical site explorations in natural soil and rock are presented ...

The main purpose of the reports is to provide comprehensive descriptions of the state of the art of decision analysis and sampling strategies for contaminated land. The reports form an important basis for future work, not only in the specific project, but ...
