Sandstone always found interbedded with shale. Any one of the forum members experianced handling this as a foundation rock? What are the problems that may occur due to weathering process or due to increase of ground water table?

Thanks to everyone ... I would appreciate all of your suggestions and recomendations

Thanks ... The diameter of the core is 55 mm. The sample is prepared for uniaxial compressive strength test. Instead of using water during a coring process, is there any method or liquid / foam which more preferable?. The hardness of the sample could be considered as "soft" rock

Hi.. I'm looking for any sugestion on how to core soft rock (eg. shale)in laboratory.
