3. LABORATORY TESTS USED TO STUDY THE STRENGTH OF CALCARENITES There are 3 distinct methods or tests used to determine the strength of calcarenite which are needle penetration test‚ unconfined compression test‚ and direct shear box test. 3.1. Needle penetration test This form of test is done on site on an outcrop rock that is not disturbed; this is usually done by extracting a sample material for oncoming laboratory work. The penetration tests are done on two different sections of outcrop with an

critique a qualitative study? Powers (2011a) states‚ “All scientific evidence is important to clinical decision making‚ and all evidence must be critically appraised to determine its contribution to that decision making” (p. 135). A qualitative study attempts to describe an experience from the participant’s perspective. Additionally‚ to enhance understanding‚ the objective of a qualitative study is to increase awareness of human experiences. Performing a critical appraisal of qualitative research requires
