What are the advantages of conducting an experiment on undisturbed soil sample compared to disturbed soil sample?
A disturbed sample is one in which the structure of the soil has been changed sufficiently that tests of structural properties of the soil will not be representative of in-situ conditions, and only properties of the soil grains (e.g., grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and possibly the water content) can be accurately determined. An undisturbed sample is one where the condition of the soil in the sample is close enough to the conditions of the soil in-situ to allow tests of structural properties of the soil to be used to approximate the properties of the soil in-situ.
What is the definition of sensitivity of soil?
Soil sensitivity is the estimate of a soil's ability to maintain its original strength when bothered or remolded.
Why is it important to follow the procedure for collecting soil sample?
So that the sample YOU collect can be objectively compared with others collected by different people.
What is undisturbed soil?
Soil that has not been touched by man or machine. It is soil that has developed naturally and has not been tilled or had chemicals added to it. Such soil is getting harder to find.
What is the general appearance of the soil sample?
Brown.
