In order to check the quality of the stockpile of aggregates, 1 sack of aggregates (around 40 kg) was taken from the stockpile and then returned to the laboratory. From a visual inspection of the stockpile, it consists mostly of sand particles mixed with a few gravel aggregates of not more than 1” in size (diameter). After the laboratory test, it was reflected in the report that the stockpile is dominated by gravels. This report contradicts the initial visual inspection that was conducted on the field. Do you think there were discrepancies along the way? If so, where do you think such discrepancy occurred? How do you resolve this contradicting events?
