Les prélèvements d’échantillons sont effectués, dans toutes les couches de sols cohérents, au moyen d’un carottier à parois minces; dans la plupart des cas, les carottiers Shelby OD de 2 pouces conviennent très bien, à moins qu'une étude plus poussée soit envisagée. 1, record 1, French, - carottier%20Shelby

When evaluating the actual shearing strength of cohesive soils, the unconfined compressive strength of samples from 2-in. Shelby tubes may be increased by 40 per cent because of inevitable weakening of such small samples. Preliminary evaluations of the shear strength may be made by means of a pocket spring penetration plunger. 1, record 2, English, - pocket%20spring%20penetration%20plunger

Pour l'évaluation de la résistance au cisaillement réelle des sols cohérents, la résistance à la compression simple des échantillons de 50 millimètres, extraits au carottier Shelby, doit être augmentée de 40% en raison de l'affaiblissement inévitable d’échantillons aussi petits; des évaluations préalables de la résistance au cisaillement peuvent être effectuées au moyen d’un pénétromètre de poche. 1, record 2, French, - p%C3%A9n%C3%A9trom%C3%A8tre%20de%20poche
