Title:
Marine Geotechnical Data from around the UK (1975 Onwards)
code:
http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605644
Abstract:
The data consist of the results of geotechnical testing carried out at various depth intervals on shallow cores or boreholes collected BGS from the UK Continental Shelf. The bulk of the data north of 56N are in digital form and result from testing carried out on board survey vessels using hand-held test equipment (penetrometers and shear vanes). These values are averaged for each test interval, and are expressed in kiloPascals. There are approximately 6000 test results in the data set. Some more detailed test information, in non-digital and report form is held for selected sites. Also for most sites where digital data is not available, geological descriptions of core material will also contains semi-quantitative information on the stiffness of the material. Geotechnical knowledge is required to understand and interpret the results if they are to be used as a basis for engineering studies. Core material are managed as part of the BGS Materials collection and are available for examination, testing or subsampling. The data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Data are delivered via BGS Offshore GeoIndex www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm geotechnical layers. Reference: Fannin, NGT. (1989) Offshore Investigations 1966-87.

statement:
Borehole and shallow core material were collected by BGS during offshore surveys using various sampling techniques such as vibrocore, gravity core and wireline drilling. Geotechnical tests were carried out using hand-held test equipment (penetrometers and shear vanes). This dataset has been managed by BGS over a considerable period of time. Legacy paper records have undergone selective scanning and/or transcription to digital formats, with ongoing QC of the information captured and migration to the BGS Database. More recent data is captured digitally and, where appropriate, loaded to the database. Data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and information is delivered via the BGS web site.
