M.Test#5 : Making and curing compressive test specimens in Field AASHTO T 23-93

M.Test#5 : Making and curing compressive test specimens in Field AASHTO T 23-93

This test method covers procedures for making and curing cylindrical and prismatic beam specimen from representative sampled fresh concrete for a construction project. 
The concrete used to make molded specimens shall have the same levels of slump , air content , and percentage of coarse aggregate as represented in concrete

S.test#8 : Classification Of Soil





S.Test#8 : Classification of soils AASHTO M 145-91

This recommended practice describes a procedure  for classifying soils into seven groups based on lab determination of particle-size distribution. Liquid limit,plastic limit , and plasticity index evaluation of soils within each group index , should be useful in determining relative  quality of soil material for use in earthwork structure , subbase , subgrade or others .

S.test#4 California Bearing Ratio


S.Tests#4: California Bearing Ration AASHTP T 193 - 93 ASTM D1883

This test method covers the determination of the California Bearing Ratio ( CBR) of pavement subgrade , subbase and basecoarse materials  rotary compacted specimen . 
The test method is primarily intended for - but not limited to - evaluating the strength of the cohesive materials having maximum particle sizes less than 19mm.It is the load to penetrate a cylinder with some speed to 0.1 in. or 01.2 in
