Abstract
A device was designed and manufactured for cutting a 4.5-in. (11.4-cm) diameter varved soil sample into a 2.5-in. (6.4-cm) cubical sample for directional permeability measurements. The chief requirement was to produce cut surfaces in a layered soil which were unsmeared and untorn. The design was based on three requirements: (1) confinements of the soil during the cutting process, (2) movement of the cutting wire in the direction parallel to the soil layers and (3) small longitudinal vibratory movements of the cutting wire.
