samples for laboratory testing. SPTs were carried out during drilling and the results recorded on
borelogs. Blow counts (N-values) required to drive the samplers were recorded every 6-in. The
N-values were corrected for depth according to Peck, et al. (1974). Table 3 shows the number and
depth of the borings. Borelogs can be found in Appendix A and boring locations are shown in
Figures 10a and 10b and Appendix D. Visual classification according to ASTM D2488 (Visual-
Manual Procedure) of each soil stratum was made in the field by the engineer or geologist at the
time the test holes were drilled. Samples for laboratory testing were obtained using a 3-in
California modified split spoon sampler containing 2.5-in brass or steel tube liners. The samplers
were driven by a hand operated 140-lb hammer with a 30-in drop. Samples were analyzed in the
field for identification by color, relative density, cohesiveness, field moisture, and visual grain size
determination. Brass sleeves were sealed with plastic end caps and labeled for transportation to
the laboratory.
