A variety of different types of field measurements can be made on samples recovered from boreholes or on the waste mass surrounding a borehole. Compositional classification of bulk samples recovered from a borehole i -- 2.3.2.2 Complications Inherent to Borehole Sampling and Testing. Obstructions and large pieces of solid waste may necessitate special drilling equipment and can, in the worst case, prevent drillers from reaching target drilling depth. If a recovery -- 2.3.2.3 Health and Safety Considerations. Intrusive investigation at landfill sites (e.g., advancement of boreholes for sampling, testing, and/or instrumentation) is complicated by various health and safety concerns posed by the presence of potenti.; 2.3.2.4 Disposition of Investigation Derived Waste. Another consideration associated with drilling (and trenching) in waste is the disposition of investigation-derived waste (IDW). The IDW includes drill cuttings, liquid, and drilling mud. If inves -- 2.3.2.5 Borehole and Test Pit Sampling. Bulk samples of MSW recovered from conventional and bucket-auger boreholes, and test pits are often visually classified and tested for moisture content in the field. Although standard visual classification an -- 2.3.2.6 Borehole and Test Pit Unit Weight Testing. To measure in situ unit weight at four MSW landfill sites in California, Geosyntec (1996) developed a borehole unit weight (density) test. This test was patterned after the sand cone density test -- 2.3.2.7 Borehole Hydraulic Conductivity Testing. Several in situ testing methods have been used to assess the hydraulic conductivity of waste utilizing boreholes, wells, and/or temporary piezometers. These tests are generally carried out by a monit -- 2.3.2.8 Borehole Wave Propagation Velocity Testing. Wave propagation velocity testing can be conducted in a borehole using cross-hole, down-hole, and/or in-hole methods. Cross-hole testing can be conducted if there are two or more boreholes spaced -- 2.3.2.9 Borehole Electrical and Nuclear Testing. A variety of electrical and nuclear measurements can be conducted in a borehole advanced through MSW, including "conventional" (i.e., such as those used in the oil exploration industry) down-hole ele -- 2.3.2.10 Borehole Pressuremeter Testing. The use of a pressuremeter to evaluate the mechanical properties of MSW was reported by Dixon et al. (1999 , 2006 ). These authors employed an 83 mm diameter, 1.2 m long self-boring pressuremeter in a "pre.; 2.3.2.11 Borehole Standard Penetration Test and Becker Penetration Test. Both the SPT and the BPT have been conducted at MSW landfills mostly for sample recovery and visual field and/or laboratory classification. Gabr and Valero (1995) used the r -- 2.3.2.12 In Situ Direct Shear Tests. Richardson and Reynolds (1991) and Houston et al. (1995) conducted large-scale in situ direct shear tests on MSW. The general procedure for these tests consisted of isolating a "pedestal" of waste by excavat -- 2.3.2.13 Internal Deformation Measurements. Internal measurements of vertical and lateral deformation within a waste mass can provide both direct and indirect information on in situ waste characteristics. Internal deformation measurements made over -- 2.3.2.14 Internal Moisture Content and Temperature Measurements. In situ moisture content and temperature measurements are often performed together.
