Abstract;Here was introduced the titled sandy sols sampling method capable of carrying out low-cost and short-term sampling. Basic concepts and procedures of this method are shown as follows; 1) to initially penetrate an undisturbed sampling tube (inner tube), 2) to excavate the ground around the penetrated place under aspiration, to further statically penetrate the tube to its target depth in the ground, and 3) to make bottom portion of sample to refrigerated solid or extremely viscous state by using liquid nitrogen, to pump up whole of the sample.
