Sampling of beach sand in Kerteh, Terengganu / Md. Fauzi Ahmad, Nurul Azma Zakaria and Mohmad Razip Selamat

In soil investigation activity, it is normal that focus is made on sampling of undisturbed soft cohesive soils. Tri-axial test and consolidation test are the two key tests to be performed on these samples. At other sampling locations within a boring point, undisturbed sampling and SPT counts are suf...
