Field tests
Field dry density: related standards are IS: 2720-Part28-1974] , AASHTO T-191 , ASTM D-1556
Soil gradation
Sampling:
1 kg of Sample, dried in an oo
oven at 600 for 24 hours
HYDROMETER ANALYSIS
Methodology
(water content determination)
Sampling:
CBR TEST
Atterbergs limits
Specific Gravity
Determination
Sampling:
Sample was pulverized and passed
through 2mm IS sieve
Sampling:
5kg of air dried sample was taken
Sieved through 4.75mm is sieve
Sample mixed thoroughly with 5% by
mass
Dry density
Methodology
Drilling rod was marked and the ground level was noted to
calculate the penetrated depth.
