Bedrock Sample Clauses
The 'BEDROCK' clause establishes a foundational set of terms or principles that underpin the entire agreement. In practice, this clause may specify that certain key provisions—such as definitions, governing law, or dispute resolution mechanisms—are considered essential and cannot be overridden by other terms in the contract. By designating these elements as 'bedrock,' the clause ensures that the most critical aspects of the agreement remain stable and enforceable, thereby providing certainty and reducing the risk of conflicting interpretations or inadvertent modifications.
Bedrock. Lands having bedrock within six (6) feet of the natural undisturbed surface.
Bedrock. Sedimentary bedrock, consisting predominantly of sandstone was encountered at the borehole locations at depths ranging from approximately 2.64 to 3.14 meters below existing grade. Bedrock was confirmed by rock coring and sampling in NQ size (47.8-millimeter core diameter) at each borehole to depths ranging from 6.10 to 6.12 meters. Rock core photos are included on the attached Photo Log. Based on the rock core samples recovered, the bedrock is described as poor to fair quality, reddish brown, fine to medium grained SANDSTONE. The rock mass was fresh to slightly weathered, and weak to strong. Discontinuities were spaced very close to moderate and near horizontal (parallel to bedding). A MUDSTONE layer, approximately 0.2 meters thick, was observed at BH09. The results of point load tests completed on selected core samples are presented in Table 6, attached. The point load index (Is) was determined from both diametral and axial tests. The unconfined compressive strength (Qu) was estimated from the point load data using the relationship Qu = 24 Is (axial). The point load test data indicate the sandstone core samples tested fall predominantly within the weak (5 to 25 MPa) to strong (50 to 100 MPa) strength classifications. It should be noted that the weakest rock is often not recovered during coring operations and that intact core samples are required for testing. As such, a very weak to strong classification would be more representative of the overall rock mass at the site and is used on the Borehole Records.
