APPENDIX <br />MI <br />Soil samples obtained from the explorations were transported to GeoEngineers' laboratory and evaluated <br />to confirm or modify field classifications, as well as to evaluate engineering properties of the soil samples. <br />Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing to determine moisture content and grain size <br />distribution (sieve analysis). The tests were performed in general accordance with test methods of ASTM <br />International (ASTM) or other applicable procedures. <br />Sold Classifications <br />All soil samples obtained from the borings were visually classified in the field and/or in our laboratory using <br />a system based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and ASTM classification methods. <br />ASTM test method D 2488 was used to visually classify the soil samples, while ASTM D 2487 was used to <br />classify the soils based on laboratory tests results. These classification procedures are incorporated in the <br />boring logs shown in Figures A-2 through A-7 in Appendix A <br />Moisture content 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 exploration logs in <br />Appendix A at the respective samples depths. <br />Sieve analyses were performed on selected samples in general accordance with ASTM C 136. The wet sieve <br />analysis method was used to determine the percentage of soil greater than the U.S. No. 200 mesh sieve. <br />The results of the sieve analyses were plotted and were classified in general accordance with the Unified <br />Soil Classification System (USCS) and are presented in Figures B-1 and B-2. <br />It should be noted that the sieve analyses were performed on soils obtained from samplers that have an <br />opening size of 11/2 inches, so larger -sized particles cannot be obtained by the samplers. Therefore, the <br />sieve results do not account for soil particles that are larger than 11/2 inches. Soils with larger sized <br />materials are described in this report qualitatively based on visual observations and experience on projects <br />where excavations were made into similar formations. <br />GEoENGINPER tune 15, 2022 Page B-1 <br />Fite Nv; 0129-294-02 <br />
