| Abstract: | This note describes a technique for cutting undisturbed brittleblock samples into smaller specimens for further geotechnical testing. This technique revealed very useful in dealing with collapsible soils, where the sampling is recommended to be donewith block soil samples. A further use of this technique as an efficient way for sampling collapsible soils is proposed. |
