**Geotechnical Soil Sampling Report**

**Project Name:** Field Boring Log

**Location:** Texas

**Date of Report:** 2025-12-15

**1. Executive Summary**

This geotechnical soil sampling report presents the findings from the soil sampling operations performed on the Field Boring Log project located in Texas. The project's primary objective was to assess the soil characteristics and conditions at different depth levels. Two soil samples were collected at depths of 15 feet and 25 feet and characterized based on their type, color, consistency, and moisture content.

**2. Project Information**

**Project Name:** Field Boring Log

**Location:** Texas

**Start Date:** 2025-12-15

**Description:** Soil sampling operations for geotechnical analysis.

**3. Sampling Methodology**

The soil samples were obtained using the standard penetration test (SPT). This method entails driving a split spoon sampler into the soil at the desired depth using a hammer and retrieving the sample for analysis. The samples were then analyzed for type, color, consistency, and moisture content.

**4. Detailed Soil Profile**

- **Sample 1:** 
  - **Depth:** 15.00 feet
  - **Soil Type:** Clay
  - **Color:** Brown
  - **Consistency:** Soft
  - **Sampling Time:** 2025-12-15 05:18

- **Sample 2:** 
  - **Depth:** 25.00 feet
  - **Soil Type:** Clay
  - **Color:** Black
  - **Consistency:** Hard
  - **Sampling Time:** 2025-12-15 05:19

**5. Soil Classification and Characteristics**

- **Sample 1:** The first soil sample retrieved at a depth of 15 feet is classified as soft brown clay. The moisture content was not determined.

- **Sample 2:** The second soil sample retrieved at a depth of 25 feet is classified as hard black clay. The moisture content was not determined.

**6. Observations and Findings**

The soil profile revealed a transition from soft brown clay at 15 feet to hard black clay at 25 feet. This change in soil properties with depth might indicate a change in soil formation processes, which could potentially affect the stability and suitability of the soil for different construction purposes.

**7. Recommendations**

Due to the change in soil consistency with depth, it is recommended to carry out further geotechnical investigations. These should include laboratory tests for determining soil properties such as moisture content, plasticity, compaction characteristics, and shear strength. This data will be crucial for designing foundations, predicting settlement, and assessing the overall suitability of the soil for construction purposes.
