Particle Size analysis

This test is used in geoengineering to determine the grain size of the

soil particle. Also to classify the soil that are going to use in different
test.
Sa procedure ng test na to, ung soil sample natin is sieve using
different sizes of sieve (#4 and 200 should always be include)
Ung mga nagreretain na soil. Dun natin sila madedetermine.
Liquid limit test
The liquid limit of a soil is the moisture content, expressed as a
percentage of the weight of the oven-dried soil, at the boundary
between the liquid and plastic states of consistency.
Dito sa test na to eto ung water content ng soil kung saan, nag babago
ung soil from plastic consistency to liquid consistency.
Dito madedetermine natin ung effect ng fly ash sa index property ng
soil
It is the water content at which a soil changes form plastic to liquid
behavior. If ung fly ash is nakaka aaffect sa may soil, maaapektuhan
nio ung water content amount ng soil at which ung plastic consistency
a papuntang liquid consistency
Plastic limit
The minimum water content at which a soil will just begin to crumble
when it is rolled into a thread of approximately 3mm in diameter (1/8
inch) Dito maapektuhan ng fly ash ung percentage ng moisture
content ng soil at which ung soil is nag edecreas ng wetness form
plastic to semi solid consistency
Free swell index:
Differential free swell index
swelling property of soil in moisture content.
Gaano naaapektuhan nung fly ash ung swelling property of soil based
on the class of fly ash and based on the percentage applied.
Standard proctor test.
Dinedetermine ditto ung optimal moisture content ng soil at which
ung given soil type will become most dense and achieve its dry
density.
Maddetermine natin ung effect ng soil sa optimal moisture content
and dry density ng soil
Unconfined compression test
Ditto nadedetermine ung unconfined compressive strength of
cohesive soil sample. And the shear strength. Mas makikita natin ung
effect ng fly ash sa strength ng soil.
