Atterberg Limits.
ASTM D 4318: Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
These test methods cover the determination of the liquid limit, plastic limit, and the plasticity index of soils.
Sieve Analysis of Aggregates.
ASTM C 136: Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates
This test method is used primarily to determine the grading of materials proposed for use as aggregates or being used as aggregates. The results are used to determine compliance of the particle size distribution with applicable specification requirements and to provide necessary data for control of the production of various aggregate products and mixtures containing aggregates.
Sieve Analysis of Soil.
ASTM D 6913 (formerly part of ASTM D 422): Standard Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis
Soils consist of particles with various shapes and sizes. This test method is used to separate particles into size ranges and to determine quantitatively the mass of particles in each range. These data are combined to determine the particle-size distribution (gradation). This test method uses a square opening sieve criterion in determining the gradation of soil between the 3-in. (75-mm) and No. 200 (75-μm) sieves.
