This test method describes the procedure, generally known as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT), for driving a split-barrel sampler to obtain a representative disturbed soil sample for identification purposes, and measure the resistance of the soil to penetration of the sampler. Another method (Test Method D3550) to drive a split-barrel sampler to obtain a representative soil sample is available but the hammer energy is not standardized.

This test method covers determination of the strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either undisturbed or remolded cohesive soil. Specimens are subjected to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. No drainage of the specimen is permitted during the test. The specimen is sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled).

The main objective of this manual is to provide a quick reference of wellsite field related geological issues to new geologist and trainees. It is also intended to share the knowledge and experiences that are common to Wellsite Geology with other disciplines in Area Exploration, Reservoir Characterizations, Reservoir Engineering and Drilling.The manual provides an overview of the stratigraphy of the Arabian Peninsula while focusing on the most common lithological description on formation and potential reservoir cuttings within Saudi Aramco’s operating areas. At the same time, it relates trends in the rate of penetration (ROP) to picking of formation tops. This data is essential to reduce probable hole problems and to ensure safe picking of casing points. The manual also provides an overview of pitfalls of cuttings description and hydrocarbon fluorescence evaluation while dealing with different types of drilling mud. The manual also covers and provides detail instructions on wellsite core handling procedures whilealerting new geologists to a number of important safety issues.

Written from a global perspective on risk, hazards, and disasters, Introduction to International Disaster Management provides practitioners, educators and students with a comprehensive overview of the players, processes and special issues involved in the management of large-scale natural and technological disasters. The book discusses special issues encountered in the management of international disasters, and explains the various private, non-governmental, national, and international agencies that assist in preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery during national and regional events.
Concentrating on the four major phases of emergency management - mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery - Introduction to International Disaster Management deals with such timely topics as Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Asian tsunami, and SARS. It also serves as a reference to governmental and other agencies involved in international disaster management activities. This book is the first of its kind to take a global approach to the topic of international disaster management.
