Soil Classification

INTRODUCTION

In all sections of civil engineering and


particularly in soil mechanics, the engineer
during the design stage must ensure that the
analysis of soil properties relate directly to the
relevant foundation or structure. Using procedures involving extracting, examining and
testing representative samples the engineer can
compute a model very close to the real situation. In recent years we have seen a significant
contribution to experimental analysis resulting
from more sophisticated testing procedures, up
dating of many International Standards, and
publication of good testing manuals and procedures.

Used to obtain quickly and easily an approximate measure of the shear strength of

feature of this model is the design of the
penetration rod, which allows a relatively
deep penetration into the soil (up to 6 cm)
thus reducing errors and uncertainties typical of shallow measures, which are often
affected by remoulding, drying, etc.Three
different sizes of penetration tips are available: the small one for hard soils, the medium
one for soft and medium soil, and the large
one for soft soil.

ASTM D2573

This tester, designed to measure the


undrained shear strength (CU) of cohesive
soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a
torsional spring and three interchangeable
vanes of different sizes used depending
upon the expected strength of the soil.
The vanes have the following dimensions:
- small size 32x16 mm (height x dia.)
- medium size 40x20 mm (height x dia.)
- large size 50.8x25.4 mm (height x dia.).
The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is
2. During operation the vane is driven for
5-6 cm into the soil and then turned with
the handle. Deep measures (i.e. on the top
of undisturbed samples) can be obtained
using the extension rod.

TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(DCP)
The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer)
is an instrument designed for the rapid insitu measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavements constructed
with unbound materials. Continuous measurements can be made down to a depth of
approximately 850 mm or when extension
shafts are used to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layers
have different strengths the boundaries
can be identified and the thickness of the
layers determined. Correlations have been
established in earlier work (Van Vuuren
1969, Kleyn and Van Heerden 1983, Smith
and Pratt 1983) between measurements
with the DCP and CBR (California Bearing
Ratio) so that results can be interpreted
and compared with CBR specifications for
pavement design. A typical test takes only
a few minutes and therefore the instrument provides a very efficient method of
obtaining information that would normally
require the digging of test-pits.

Laboratory mixer 10 litres capacity
complete with whisk.
230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.
Used to mix soil samples and bituminous
mixtures for compaction studies. Model
described on this page are with 5 and 10 l
capacity. The full range of mixers up to 30 l
capacity is detailed in section 76 including
electrically heated models.
All models are supplied complete with
whisk, which is ideal to mix granular materials as prescribed by BS 598 standards.
Other mixing paddles, beaters or hook are
available on order but we strongly recom-

mend not to use with granular materials


and large aggregates as to avoid serious
damage to the machines.
Operating principle
The planetary action ensures a complete and uniform mixing of the material.
Variable speed drive. When lifting the transparent cover, a safety switch cuts off the
mixer to prevent accidents.

Note. Laboratory mixers and accessories


for asphalt mixing are described
on page 396.

The moisture content can be determined


using Moisture testers based on the calcium
carbide method. The soil sample is introduced
in the bottle with the reagent. The water
reacts with calcium carbide and develops a
gas pressure, which is indicated on the manometer and easily converted in percentage of
moisture.

A well established portable test method for
the determination of moisture content of
soils, sand and fine aggregates. The procedure involves the reaction between water
and calcium carbide which when mixed
together give off a gas. The amount of gas
is directly proportional to the amount of
water present in the sample and results
in percentage moisture are taken from a
pressure gauge.
Supplied complete with electronic balance,
brushes and measure in a plastic carrying
case.
These models are available for moisture
determination on 6 and 20 g samples as
follows:

When this item is for export there are limitations on the method of transportation.
For export orders the reagent has to be

Acidity test kit
Acidity is the quantitative capacity of a
water sample to neutralise a base to a set
pH. Therefore the greater acidity the more
potentially corrosive the water.
The kit is supplied complete with 30
and 100 ml calibrated vessels, reagents,
graduated syringe with pipette tip and
instructions.
