APPENDIX B <br />The laboratory study consisted of performing: <br />Direct Shear Strength tests. <br />It should be noted that samples obtained using a drive type sleeve sampler may experience some <br />disturbance during the sampling operations. The test results obtained using these samples are used <br />only as indicators of the in situ soil characteristics. <br />TESTING <br />Direct Shear Strength Tests <br />Direct shear strength properties of sleeve samples were evaluated in general accordance with <br />testing procedures defined by ASTM Test Method D3080. The direct shear strength test was <br />performed on a sample obtained from test boring one (1) at a depth of zero (0) to nine (9) feet. <br />The results of the direct shear strength test is presented on Figure Bl. <br />~'~-.lit.
