Index Tests
Index testing undertaken by Soil Mechanics is generally used for classification of materials, profiling and derivation of parameters for subsequent advance testing. These tests include:
- Moisture content
- Atterberg Limits
- Density (Bulk, dry and limiting)
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD)
- Particle Density (Small pyknometer and Gas jar)
- Shrinkage
| Test Type | Fine | Medium | Coarse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture content | 50g | 350g | 4kg |
| Atterberg Limits (LL/PL) | 500g | 1kg | 2kg |
| Density (Linear) | 500g | 1kg | 2kg |
| Particle Size Distribution (PSD) | 150g | 3kg | 17kg |
| Particle Density (Small pyknometer) | 100g | 100g | na |
| Particle Density (Gas jar) | 1kg | 2kg | 4kg |
