PRELIMINARY RECORDS

Key:

B Bulk disturbed sample

D Small disturbed sample

ES Environmental sample

U Nominal 100 mm diameter undisturbed open tube sample

X blows The associate figure ‘X’ is the number of blows to drive the sample tube over the given depth range

SPT Standard penetration test using a split spoon sampler. N Value is uncorrected,

but the hammer energy ratio is given where known (in remarks).

IP xx Initial penetration during the SPT recorded in millimetres. If initial penetration

equals or exceeds 450 mm the test is aborted.

S x,x SPT seating drive blow count given by the summation of the blows ‘X’ required to drive the seating length

T x,x,x,x SPT test drive blow count ‘N’ given by the summation of the blows ‘X’ required to drive the seating length (300 mm)

X*Y Incomplete standard penetration test where the seating/test drive could not be

completed. The blows ‘X’ represent the total blows for the given length of

seating drive ‘Y’ (mm)

HV Hand vane test (19mm vane)

PLT Plate load test (455mm plate size)

dd/mm/yy: 1.0

dd/mm/yy: dry

Date, water level at the borehole depth at the end of shift

and the start of the following shift

Each sample type is numbered sequentially with depth and relates to the depth range quoted

All depths and measurements are given in metres, except as noted

Strata descriptions compiled by visual examination of samples obtained after BS 5930:2015+A1:2020

and modified in accordance with laboratory test results where applicable
