Designation:D1452/D1452M16Standard Practice forSoil Exploration and Sampling by Auger Borings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1452/D1452M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers equipment and procedures for theuse of earth augers in shallow depth geotechnical exploration.This practice does not apply to hollow-stem augers.Uses ofhollow-stem auger drilling methods for geotechnical explora-tion are addressed in Test Method D6151.Samples recoveredfrom this standard are considered as belonging to Group A orB in accordance with D4220.The samples are disturbed andcan generally be used for classification testing(D2487,D2488),determination of compaction characteristics(D698,D1557),or any other standard that requires bulk samples.Forobtaining intact samples use of thin-walled sample tubes(D1587)in conjunction with fluid rotary drilling(D5783)orhollow-stem augers(D6151)may be considered.1.2 This practice does not include considerations for geoen-vironmental site characteristics and installation of monitoringwells which are discussed in Guide D5784.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitspresented in brackets are to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard1.4 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026 unless superseded by this method.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This practice offers a set of instructions for performingone or more specific operations.This document cannot replaceeducation or experience and should be used in conjunctionwith professional judgment.Not all aspects of this practice maybe applicable in all circumstances.This ASTM standard is notintended to represent or replace the standard of care by whichthe adequacy of a given professional service must be judged,nor should this document be applied without consideration ofa projects many unique aspects.The word“Standard”in thetitle of this document means only that the document has beenapproved through the ASTM consensus process.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD698 Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Character-istics of Soil Using Standard Effort(12,400 ft-lbf/ft3(600kN-m/m3)D1557 Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Character-istics of Soil Using Modified Effort(56,000 ft-lbf/ft3(2,700 kN-m/m3)D1586 Test Method for Penetration Test(SPT)and Split-Barrel Sampling of SoilsD1587 Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Fine-Grained Soils for Geotechnical PurposesD2487 Practice for Classification of Soils for EngineeringPurposes(Unified Soil Classification System)D2488 Practice for Description and Identification of Soils(Visual-Manual Procedure)D4220 Practices for Preserving and Transporting SoilSamplesD5434 Guide for Field Logging of Subsurface Explorationsof Soil and RockD4750 Test Method for Determining Subsurface LiquidLevels in a Borehole or Monitoring Well(ObservationWell)(Withdrawn 2010)3D5783 Guide for Use of Direct Rotary Drilling with Water-Based Drilling Fluid for Geoenvironmental Explorationand the Installation of Subsurface Water-Quality Monitor-ing Devices1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.02 on Sampling andRelated Field Testing for Soil Evaluations.Current edition approved Nov.1,2016.Published November 2016.Originallyapproved in 1957.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D1452 09.DOI:10.1520/D1452_D1452M-16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D5784 Guide for Use of Hollow-Stem Augers for Geoenvi-ronmental Exploration and the Installation of SubsurfaceWater-Quality Monitoring DevicesD602
