PROPERTIES OF HIGHWAY MATERIALS SOIL SOIL CHARACTERISTICS The distribution of particle size in soils can be determined by conducting a sieve analysis (sometimes known as mechanical analysis) on a soil sample if the particles are sufficiently large. This is done by shaking a sample of air-dried soil through a set of sieves with progressively smaller openings. The smallest practical opening of these sieves is 0.075 mm; this sieve is designated No. 200. Other sieves include No. 140 (0.106 mm), No. 100 (0.15 mm), No. 60 (0.25 mm), No. 40 (0.425 mm), No. 20 (0.85 mm), No. 10 (2.0 mm), No. 4 (4.75 mm). Gravel : ˃ 2 mm sand size: 2.0-0.06 mm silt : 0.06-0.002 clay: less than 0.002 For soils containing particle sizes smaller than the lower limit, the hydrometer analysis is used.

Atterberg Limits Clay soils with very low moisture content will be in the form of solids. As the water content increases, however, the solid soil gradually becomes plastic—that is, the soil easily can be molded into different shapes without breaking up. Continuous increase of the water content will eventually bring the soil to a state where it can flow as a viscous liquid. The stiffness or consistency of the soil at any time therefore depends on the state at which the soil is, which in turn depends on the amount of water present in the soil. The water content levels at which the soil changes from one state to the other is the Atterberg limits. They are the shrinkage limit (SL), plastic limit (PL), and liquid limit (LL), as illustrated in Figure below. Atterberg limits are important limits of engineering behavior, because they facilitate the comparison of the water content of the soil with those at which the soil changes from one state to another. They are used in the classification of fine grained soils and are extremely useful, since they correlate with the engineering behaviors of such soils.

Shrinkage Limit (SL) When a saturated soil is slowly dried, the volume shrinks, but the soil continues to contain moisture. Continuous drying of the soil, however, will lead to moisture content at which further drying will not result in additional shrinkage. The volume of the soil will stay constant, and further drying will be accompanied by air entering the voids. The moisture content at which this occurs is the shrinkage limit, or SL, of the soil.

Plastic Limit (PL) The plastic limit, or PL, is defined as the moisture content at which the soil crumbles when it is rolled down to a diameter of one-eighth of an inch. The moisture content is higher than the PL if the soil can be rolled down to diameters less than one-eighth of an inch, and the moisture content is lower than the PL if the soil crumbles before it can be rolled to one-eighth of an inch diameter.

Liquid Limit (LL) The liquid limit, or LL, is defined as the moisture content at which the soil will flow and close a groove of one-half inch within it after the standard LL equipment has been dropped 25 times. The equipment used for LL determination is shown in Figure below.

Engineering Properties of Soils Based on Laboratory Testing Wide variety of soil engineering properties have been correlated to the liquid and plastic limits, and these Atterberg limits are also used to classify a fine-grained soil according to the Unified Soil Classification system or AASHTO system. Equipment: Liquid limit device, Porcelain (evaporating) dish, Flat grooving tool with gage, Eight moisture cans, Balance, Glass plate, Spatula, Wash bottle filled with distilled water, Drying oven set at 105°C.

AASHTO Classification System The AASHTO system of soil classification was developed in 1929a s the Public Road Administration Classification System. It has undergone several revisions, with the present version proposed by the Committee on Classification of Materials for Subgrades and Granular Type Roads of the Highway Research Board in 1945( ASTM designation D -3282 AASHTO method M14.5) . The AASHTO classification in present use is given in Table 4.1.According to this systems oil is classified into seven major groups: A -l through A-7. Soils classified under groups A-1, A-2. and A-3 is granular materials of which 35% or less of the particles pass through the No. 200 sieve. Soils of which more than 35% pass through the No. 200 sieve are classified under groups A-4, A-5, ,4- 6,and A-7. These soils are mostly silt and clay-type materials. The classification system is based on the following criteria:

l. Grain size a. Gravel: fraction passing the 7-5-mm (3-in l. Grain size a. Gravel: fraction passing the 7-5-mm (3-in.) sieve and retained on the No. l0 (2-mm) U.S. sieve b. sand: fraction passing the No. 10 (2-mm) U.S. sieve and retained on the No.200 (0.07-5-mmU) .S. sieve c. Silt and clay: fraction passing the No. 200 U.S. sieve 2. Plasticity: The term siltry is applied when the fine fractions of the soil have a plasticity index of 10 or less. The term clayey is applied when the fine fractions 3. If cobbles and boulders (size larger than 75 mm) are encountered, they are excluded from the portion of the soil sample from which classifications made. However, the percentage of such material is recorded. To classify a soil according to Table 4.1, one must apply the test data from left to right. By process of elimination, the first group from the left into which the test data fit is the correct classification. Figure 4.1 shows a plot of the range of the liquid limit and the plasticity index for soil that fall into groups A-2, A-4, A-5, A- 6, and A-7.
