How Do Civil Engineers Sample Granular And Rock-like Soils? - Civil Engineering Explained

How Do Civil Engineers Sample Granular And Rock-like Soils? Have you ever wondered how civil engineers investigate what lies beneath the ground before construction begins? In this informative video, we’ll explain the methods used by civil engineers to sample granular and rock-like soils. We’ll start by discussing the different types of soil sampling techniques, including disturbed and undisturbed sampling for granular soils such as sands and gravels. We’ll also cover how specialized tools like Shelby tubes are used to preserve soil structure during sampling. For rock and bedrock, engineers utilize drilling methods such as rotary and percussion drilling to obtain core samples that reveal important information about the material’s strength and texture. We’ll explain how the choice of sampling method depends on site conditions, soil type, and project requirements. Understanding these techniques is essential for designing safe foundations, assessing environmental risks, and ensuring the stability of structures. Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply curious about civil engineering, this video provides a clear overview of how soil sampling is performed and why it matters.
