"Soil sampling:
A soil sample is the representative of the whole lot from which it is taken. It completely represents all the characteristics of the lot from which it is recovered. Following are some of the types of samples which are generally retrieved in geotechnical engineering:

Disturbed soil samples (DS):
Undisturbed soil samples (UDS):


a) Disturbed soil sample (DS):
When the natural conditions of a sample such as its structure, texture, density, natural water contents or the stress conditions are disturbed then the sample is called as disturbed soil sample. By using shovel from auger cutting these samples can be recovered.

b) Undisturbed soil samples:
Without disturbing the natural conditions of a soil sample such as its structure, texture, density, natural water contents or the stress condition the sample obtained is called undisturbed soil sample. This type of soil sample cannot be recovered and it retains the original properties of the soil mass as much as possible."

agree  Cristina Crişan: samples from the ground, probabil; 'soil' nu e sigur că merge / În text se spune pământ şi nu sol, şi ar putea foarte bine exista un motiv pentru care au făcut această alegere. Referinţe o să găseşti şi cu ground, dacă cauţi.
3 hrs
  -> termenul "soil" e adecvat; în referința pe care am dat-o se vorbește de: "undisturbed soil" și "undisturbed soil sample", dar în general se vorbește de "(un)disturbed sample", "soil" fiind implicit

agree  Péter Tófalvi: see also: soil survey, soil test etc.
9 hrs
  -> mulțumesc; "soil survey" și "soil test" au la bază "a soil sample"; deci sunt altceva
