HKU East Entrance Sandy Loam

This sample was collected from a dumpster outside of HKU's East Entrance. The soil/fill within the dumpster was a result of an adjacent construction site where the sidewalk and underlaying infrastructure were being torn up. Two separate trips were taken resulting in a mixed sample of clay, concrete and construction rubble. In conversation with the construction workers we were directed to sample from only certain areas of the dumpster, as certain areas were deemed 'not good' or contaminated.

Particle Distribution Test conducted in collaboration with CHAN Ho Shun Carsten, HKU Department of Civil Engineering
