    MD SHARIQUE
    This document provides inspection criteria for geotechnical field work for a project in Saudi Arabia. Key requirements include: - An engineer must supervise field exploration to classify samples and logs. - Automatic SPT hammers must be used for standard penetration tests in boreholes. Piezocone testing is required with pore pressure measurements. - Cross-hole seismic tests must be conducted between boreholes according to ASTM standards. - Shallow seismic refraction soundings need a 24m geophone spread with source shots at 0m and 26m to define rock layers.

    The document outlines various requirements and standards that must be followed during geotechnical field investigations including personnel requirements, required field tests, test standards, safety and reporting procedures.

    Field tests that are required include standard penetration tests, undisturbed thin-wall tube samples, groundwater measurements, electronic piezocone penetration testing, cross-hole seismic tests, and shallow refraction seismic soundings.

    Standards like ASTM D1586, ASTM D1587, ASTM D4428, ASTM D5777, and SAEHC-S-02 must be followed for standard penetration tests, undisturbed sampling, cross-hole seismic tests, refraction seismic tests, and percolation tests respectively.
