Hi all, experienced and new geotechnical engineers...
How does your firm obtain relatively undisturbed soil samples? My current employer seems to have massively outdated equipment in the lab and in the field. I am curious as to what is the most widely used equipment for field sampling at this time. We use a modified California ring sampler, but the particular brass or Teflon rings we use are no longer available for purchase and have not been available for quite some time. I have only been doing this for a little over a year now and need to know if working here is essentially a time warp into 1960.
Mahalo!
