Fines
The results are plotted as a percentage passing versus sieve opening. The plot is referred as grain size curve.
ASTM D4318 Liquid Plastic limits & plasticity index of Soils If the percentages passing the #200 sieve is between 5% and 12%, the soils require dual classification reflecting both gradation and plasticity. When determination of the fine particles of the soil (#200 passing) is difficult, the hydrometer test (ASTM D422) will be necessary
The type of material passing #200 will determine the type and amount of stabilizer
PROCTOR TEST
This reflects the amount of moisture to mix with the soil to obtain maximum compaction
