Moisture/Density <ASTM D2216> <br />d The filed density of the lolls-Wirs etermined by spiltbwel sampling. The sampler vas <br />Equipped whrh 2 WI brass rings rind VMS driven manually. <br />Settlement <MIA DE3080, <br />The settlement camcterislics of the in-situ soil are determined by performing standard <br />Consolidation tests on undisturbed specimens. The samples am tested in the original <br />Sampler liner ring and the increment loads for consolIdIofl we applied for periods <br />Of 24 hrs by means of a single counterbalance lever system. The pressure settlement <br />Curves am shown on the attached plates. <br />Shear Strength cASTMD3080> <br />The shear strength of the soil is determined by performing direct sheer tests and <br />Unconfined compression tests. <br />The direct shear tests are performed on both undisturbed specimens and on samples <br />Remolded to 90% of ASTIIA: D-1557-(Current Version) Method A. The samples are either <br />Tested at in-situ moisture or are saturated to simulate the worst field condition and <br />Sheared at a constant rate of 0.1 inches per minute. The relationship between normal <br />Stress is shown on the attached Direct Shear Summery. <br />The unconfined shear strength of selected undisturbed specimens and is determined in <br />accordance with ASTM:DE-2188. These tests are performed at the existing moisture <br />Content The results of the tests we shown on the Boring Logs. <br />Maximum Density/Optimum MohniffecASTM D1557, <br />• The maximum density relationship to optimum moisture was determined in accordance <br />With ASTM:D1557-(Current Version) Method A(5 layer method). <br />Expulsive index <AVM D4829> <br />The exprinsive potential was determined in accordance with the 61Upansion Wax Test. <br />Samples weremoided at 40% to 51% saturation using a specific gravity of 27. A total load of <br />12.63 Weis applied to the sample and allowed to consolidate for 10 mine. The sample is then <br />saturated with distilled water and allowed to swell for a minimuni of 24hts. <br />Soluble Sulfate CoMent cACI 3111:. 4ASTMC 1.580> <br />The concentration of soluble sulfates In die soils is determined by measuring the optical <br />density of a barium sulfate precipitate. The precipitate rem*, from a reaction of <br />'Barium chloride with water extractions from the poll lamplas. The measured optical density is <br />correlated with a.calibratkm curve obtained from readings on precipitates Of known sulfate , <br />tsincentradons.- <br />Partici. Size Analysis of Soils icASTM D 422> <br />The method covers the quendtative delanninerion of the distribution of particle sizes in soils. <br />The distribution of particle sizes retained on the NO. 200 sieve•is determined by sieving while <br />the distribution by a sedimentation process, using a hydrometer to secure the necessary' <br />2612 S Griset PI Santa Ana Ca 92704 Laboratory Testing Procedures B <br />2612 S Griset Pl Unit <br />#23/17/2025
