APPENDIX B <br /> LABORATORY TESTING <br /> 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 Soils Classification System (USCS) and ASTM classification methods. ASTM <br /> 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 <br /> the exploration logs shown in Figures A-2 through A-5. <br /> Moisture Content Testing <br /> Moisture content tests were completed in general accordance with ASTM D 2216 for representative <br /> samples obtained from the borings. The results of these tests 'are presented on the boring logs in <br /> Appendix A at the depths at which the samples were obtained. <br /> Percent Passing U.S. No, 200 Sieve <br /> Selected samples were "washed" through the U.S. No. 200 mesh sieve to determine the relative <br /> percentage of coarse- and fine-grained particles in the soil. The percent passing value represents the <br /> percentage by weight of the sample finer than the U.S. No. 200 sieve. These tests were conducted in <br /> general accordance with ASTM D 1140, and the results axe shown on the boring logs at the <br /> representative sample depths. <br /> Sieve Analyses <br /> Sieve analyses were performed on selected samples in general accordance with ASTM D 422. The wet <br /> sieve analysis method.:was used to estimate the percentage of soil greater than the U.S. No. 200 mesh <br /> sieve. The results of the`sieve analyses were plotted;'classified in general accordance with the USCS, and <br /> presented in Figure B-1. <br /> GEOENGINEER 1uly22,2€!1J Page B-1 <br /> `:e NO.583"11•00 <br />
