l <br /> 1 I <br /> 1 APPENDIX B <br /> 1 ' LABORATORY TESTING <br /> _ < GENERAL <br /> illSoil samples obtained from the test pits were transported to our laboratory and examined to confirm or <br /> modify field classifications, as well as to evaluate engineering and index properties of the soil samples. <br /> Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing consisting of moisture content and gram size <br /> I distribution determination. The tests were performed in general accordance with test methods of the <br /> American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM)or other applicable procedures. <br /> IMOISTURE CONTENT TESTING <br /> Moisture contents tests were completed in general accordance with ASTM D 2216 for representative <br /> samples obtained from the explorations. The results of these tests are presented on the test pit logs in <br /> Appendix A at the depths at which the samples were obtained. <br /> 1 SIEVE ANALYSES <br /> A sieve analysis was performed on a selected sample in general accordance with ASTM D 422 to <br /> determine the sample grain size distribution. The wet sieve analysis method was used to determine the <br /> I percentage of soil greater than the U.S.No. 200 mesh sieve. The result of the sieve analysis was plotted, <br /> classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System(USCS), and is presented in <br /> Figure B-1. The smallest sieve used was the U.S.No 200(0.075 mm); for all the sieve analyses,Dio was <br /> smaller than 0.075 mm. <br /> I <br /> _1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> 7 <br /> File No.12_547-001-00 Page B-1 <br /> Febnuary3,2006 GEQENGWEER <br />
