The course on Drilling and Sampling of Soil and Rock covers the methods and equipment used for drilling, sampling, and recovering soil samples and rock cores. It also discusses the visual examination and other techniques used during drilling and sample recovery. The course includes guidelines for various drilling methods and samplers, along with the storage, handling, and selection of specimen samples. It also considers basic soil behavior and factors such as water table in the selection of appropriate drilling and sampling methods.
Drilling and sampling of soil and rock for analysis and deciding on foundation type, depth, and strength is a standard procedure for any large infrastructure project, may it be road and bridge construction, harbor jetty construction, or very high-rise building design.
The design of building foundations, roadways, excavation, fills, and slopes requires an understanding of soil strength; soil characteristics, and consideration of problem soils and how soil behaves under imposed loads. Drilling and core samples provide the necessary samples for laboratory soil and rock tests and for on-site field testing. It is important to follow the criteria and guidelines so the appropriate drilling methods are selected especially since subsurface exploration is expensive but not nearly as expensive as for a project failure.
The course is designed and conducted as per contents of US Dept of Transportation FHWA Publication No. FHWA NHI-01-031 “Subsurface Investigation-Geotechnical Site Characterization” – Chapters 2 & 3.
