Abstract
Rapid developments in the field of soil mechanics since about 1927, combined with improvements in the methods of design of bases and pavements, have led to other important developments and refinements in methods for making highway soil surveys.Established procedures for making these surveys include the use of test pits, core drilling, and auger borings to obtain samples for the determination of the engineering characteristics of the materials in the various layers and horizons of the soil profile.
