On this disturbed sample, it will be possible to carry out classification and natural moisture content tests.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">As for the undisturbed samples, when drilling, when significant thicknesses of potentially collapsible soils are detected, samples are taken with thin-walled Shelby-type tubes, with the particularity that they must be at least 4\" in diameter (instead of the 3\" that the tubes usually used in geotechnical projects have).<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In test-pits, on the other hand, it is possible to take monoliths, which are samples literally carved in the ground. This sample, of course, must be properly wrapped in paraffin or insulating plastic, so that it does not gain or lose humidity during its transportation to the laboratory. In addition, it should be stored in wooden boxes or in thergopor containers, with sawdust between the sample and the walls of the container, in order to avoid damage to the sample during handling and transport. Of course, it must be specified which is the upper and which is the lower part of the sample, since the structure of the sample can be affected by different geological events.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>An alternative to these traditional monoliths is to have pieces of pipe similar to a Shelby, with a minimum size equal to 4\", which can be introduced into the ground, carving around it. This type of samples have the advantage that their carving in the laboratory will be much faster and easier, as well as their storage and transportation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Figure 4 illustrates the different types of samples that can be taken from potentially collapsible soils.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47c67de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47c67de\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14da69c\" data-id=\"14da69c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdee06c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cdee06c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-1024x232.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3021\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-1024x232.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-300x68.jpg 300w, https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-768x174.jpg 768w, https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-1536x347.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4-18x4.jpg 18w, https:\/\/geo-webonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/imagen4.jpg 1840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-056c5fa elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"056c5fa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-413888a\" data-id=\"413888a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-964e61a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"964e61a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"translation-block\">Figure 4 Sampling of potentially collapsible soils (Source: modified from Amundaray y Boiero, 2011).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aa2c2b7 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aa2c2b7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1446444\" data-id=\"1446444\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-278d6d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"278d6d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Until here, the information about exploration and sampling of potentially collapsible soils.
