A technical manual on subsurface exploration and the mechanical analysis of soil and rock. It details various drilling methodologies, such as wash borings, rotary drilling, and the use of specialized augers, while highlighting the importance of borehole stabilization. The text also examines diverse sampling tools, including thin-wall tubes and retractable plug samplers, designed to acquire undisturbed specimens for laboratory testing. Furthermore, it covers in situ testing procedures like vane shear tests and dilatometers to determine ground strength. Finally, the source outlines systematic soil classification standards and the physical properties of particles, such as angularity and plasticity, which are essential for structural design.
