This results because the.soil.displaced during the SPT sampling is forced into the split spoon sampler and removed leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for DNDT testing.A further factor which tends to decrease soil disturbance effects is that the nuclear probe=used in the DNDT records the average density in approximately a 10 inch diameter sphere of influence around the probe.Since this zone of influence extends well beyond the limits of any significant disturbance, an averaging effect results tending to decrease any disturbance effects in the DHDT value.4.5 For the pressure meter testing, the BX casing used to create the test section interval is driven down the 2" diameter hole created by the SPT sampling displacing the soil into the BX casing and removed with the BX casing leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for PNT.Furthermore, the results of the pressure meter testing shall be plotted in the form of volume change verses pressure curve that allows soil disturbance to be detected and taken into account in the data calculations. | This results because the.soil.displaced during the SPT sampling is forced into the split spoon sampler and removed leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for DNDT testing.A further factor which tends to decrease soil disturbance effects is that the nuclear probe=used in the DNDT records the average density in approximately a 10 inch diameter sphere of influence around the probe.Since this zone of influence extends well beyond the limits of any significant disturbance, an averaging effect results tending to decrease any disturbance effects in the DHDT value.4.5 For the pressure meter testing, the BX casing used to create the test section interval is driven down the 2" diameter hole created by the SPT sampling displacing the soil into the BX casing and removed with the BX casing leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for PNT.Furthermore, the results of the pressure meter testing shall be plotted in the form of volume change verses pressure curve that allows soil disturbance to be detected and taken into account in the data calculations. | ||

'\2.0 MATERIALS EFFECTS 2.1 Grain Size It is expected that occasional gravel si zqd particles present in the site fill materials will have some effect on test results.To compensate for high blow counts resulting from the occasional gravel size particles, SPT values will not be considered when: A.Greater than approximately trace (0-108)amounts of gravel si ze material is found in the spoon, B.A loss of sample occurs, C.Angular gravel fragments are found in the spoon sample indicating (to the geotech-cical engineer)the material".h'as-been broken during sampling, D.Comparison of SPT values with the other methods indicates SPT values are unusually high due to the presence of gravel.Gravel sized material is not believed to pose a problem with the PHT or the DNDT..3.0 BORING AND TESTING RE UIREMENTS 3.1 General Borin Re uirements.1 All borings shall be advanced by means of a drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers..2 Soil sampling shall be performed in accordance wi th ASTH D 1586..3 Continuous SPT's shall be taken from the ground surface to the bottom of the boring.Sp'lit-Spoon samples shall not be driven more than 18 inches for any sample interval..5 Boring loca'tions shall not deviate more than 0.5 ft.from surveyed locations determined by the geotechnical engineer..6 All borings will have their locations referenced to the plant grid system..7 At the completion of the boring, all drill holes will be , backfi lied with insi tu material to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer..8 Representative portions of each spli t spoon sample shall be preserved in a glass sample jar clear ly labeled with the project title, date, number of boring, sample number, depth between which the sample was taken, soil identification, and SPT values.~9 Boring Contractor shall furnish a driller's logs for each boring..10 All field testing shall be monitored by a Geotechnical Engineer.11 Geotechnical engineer shall maintain a boring'log, furnishing.
the information required on the sample boring log form contained in Appendix A..12 Borings shall extend (except as noted below)to which ever depth
'is greater: a minimum of 3 feet below the Category I utility, or until two consecutive SPT values are each equal to or greater than 15.However, borings will extend deeper than required above in areas where backfill was placed for circu-lating water and storm sewer Class II systemsthat cross-onder the area of investigation.
The deepest extent of this fill is elevation 413.3.2 Correlation Testin Phase I 3.2.1 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT's).I A minimum of four borings shall be drilled at locations of known relative density;these locations shall be determined by the geotechnical engineer..2 SPT samples shall be classified in the field by a geotechnical engineer in accordance with ASTM D 2487.In addition, any unusal occurances shall be reported on the boring log.3.2.2 3.2.3 Pressure Meter Testing (PMT).I PMT will be done in each boring..2 Initially PMT shall be done in representative types of site materials with respect to density and gradation.

l' 0 4.0 FIELD TESTING PROCEDURES
4.1 Pressure
Meter Test 4.2 4.3 A Menard pressure meter shall be used to.determine the insi tu deformation modulus of the soi 1;this modulus shall ultimately be compared to relative density by excavating adjacent to the bore hole at PMT locations and measuring relative densities.
Generally, a downhole probe which consists of an inner and outer expanding tube shall be lowered to the desired depth for testing;a coaxial cable shall connect the probe to the volume measuring panel board.Nitrogen gas shall be forced under pressure in the outer part of the coaxial cable while water under the same pressure shall be forced down the inner part of the coaxial cable.The water under pressure causes the probe to enlarge and deform the borehole wall, the amount of volume change shall be measured on the panel board.A separate nitrogen system shall keep the water system from expanding beyond the test limits so that a controlled interval 210mm long can be tested.The pressure meter to be used in the testing shall be manufactured by Menard, Inc.and procedures generally followed shall be those described by Louis Menard in the equipment operation manual.Testing shall be performed in 210mm segments at locations discussed in Section 3.3.2 within the borings.Oownhole Nuclear Oensi t Test I The wet density of the relatively undisturbed soil in the bore-hole shall be determined using the DNDT;the nuclear gauge shall be calibrated to be used in thin-walled aluminum casing.The moisture content of split spoon samples shall be determined in accordance with ASTM 0 2216 in order to convert the wet density determined by nuclear methods to dry density.Further, at selected locations, test pits shall be excavated adjacent to the boring locations and the insitu wet and dry densities at the bottom of these test pi ts shall be determined using a Washington Densometer and/or the sand cone, (ASTM D 1556).These values of inplace density and relative density shall be used to compare the densi ti es determined by nuclear methods at adjacent depths.The nuclear gauge and probe used in the density testing shall be a Campbell Pacific Nuclear Model 501 calibrated and operated as described in the CPN Operator's Manual dated 1980.Generally, wet and dry densities shall be determined on 3 feet intervals.
The densi ty determined at each 3 foot interval is that contained in the volume of influence of a sphere having a diameter of 10 inches.General Orillin and Testin Procedure for SPT, PMT, 8 DNDT Initially at each boring location, a SPT sample shall be taken from the surface and extend to a depth of 18 inches.The split spoon sampler shall then be removed to obtain the sample and the sampler shall be relowered to the bottom of that hole.A second SPT sample shall be taken to create a hole extending to a total depth of 3 feet.Subsequently, an aluminum casing (2",O.D.and 1.9" I.D.)shall be i nserted in the open.hole created during the SPT sampling in preparation for the nuclear downhole density testing.The nuclear probe shall then be lowered down the casing to determine the wet density of the soil.
After the nuclear density testing of the upper level soils is completed, the hole shall be augered to the depth of 3 feet (to the bottom of the zone previously tested)and two consecutive SPT samples will be taken below the augers, (creating a hole with a bottom depth of 6'eneath the surface).Simjlarly, as before, the aluminum casing will be placed in the open hole created beneath the augers so that the nuclear density.testing can again be per-formed.This procedure of continuous SPT sampling and nuclear densi ty testing will be followed throughout the borings.At selected depth intervals wi thin each borehole, the aluminum cases will be removed after the densi ty testing is completed, and BX-Size Steel casing (2 7/8" O.D., 2 3/8" I.D.)shall be driven to the bottom of the hole.The BX'asing shall be used to enlarge the hole 3 feet beneath the augers for insertion of the pressure meter probe and subsequent pressure meter testing.Disturbance Effects The procedures described will be followed in a manner that minimizes soil disturbance.
This results because the.soil.displaced during the SPT sampling is forced into the split spoon sampler and removed leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for DNDT testing.A further factor which tends to decrease soil disturbance effects is that the nuclear probe=used in the DNDT records the average density in approximately a 10 inch diameter sphere of influence around the probe.Since this zone of influence extends well beyond the limits of any significant disturbance, an averaging effect results tending to decrease any disturbance effects in the DHDT value.4.5 For the pressure meter testing, the BX casing used to create the test section interval is driven down the 2" diameter hole created by the SPT sampling displacing the soil into the BX casing and removed with the BX casing leaving a zone relatively undisturbed for PNT.Furthermore, the results of the pressure meter testing shall be plotted in the form of volume change verses pressure curve that allows soil disturbance to be detected and taken into account in the data calculations.
This results because the disturbed zone appears as non-linear on the volume change versus pressure curve and the deformation modulus is calculated based only on the straight line portion of that curve.Loose Zones In the event loose zones (SPT values less than 15)are encountered in any boring, additional borings will be placed such that they are offset approximately 20 feet from first boring in each direction along the edge of the underground utility If the additional boring(s)encounter loose zones another boring(s)will be placed approximately 20 feet from the last boring unti 1 the extent of the loose zone has been defined in horizontal and vertical extent.
