In situ strength characterisation of peat and organic soil using full-flow penetrometers

Boylan, Noel ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) ; Mathijssen, F.A.J.M. (NRC Research Press, 2011-07)

Full-flow penetrometers have been shown to overcome problems experienced with the cone penetrometer when measuring resistance in very soft peat and organic soil, and give a much more uniform measure of resistance than the ...
Use of a downhole block sampler for very soft organic soils

Long, Michael (Michael M.) (ASTM International, 2006-09)

Techniques required to successfully obtain downhole block samples of typical very soft high plasticity organic clay from Ireland are described. The vane shear strength of the material is as low as 4 kPa. These included ...
