Sampling and testing in soft clay for infrastructure projects

Our Japanese partners will bring the well known Japanese 75mm sampler to Norway. Together we will take samples at NGI soft clay test site at Onsøy, just outside Fredrikstad. Laboratory tests on the obtained samples will be carried out at both Hokkaido Uni versity, Sapporo and at NGI. The results will be analysed and compared to test results from previous work at NGI on samples obtained using Norwegian samplers. A workshop will be arranged at Hokkaida University, where recommendations on optimal sampling me thod to use in soft clay for Japanese and Scandinavian conditions. It is soope for considerable joint research on soft clay for future.
