Maharashtra State, India.

F) PROCEDURE:
a) Adjustment of the mechanical device: The liquid limit device should be clean, dry & in
good working order. The cup should fall freely & should not have too much side play at its hinges.
Grooving tool should be clean, dry & conirming to standard dimensions.
The height of drop of cup should be adjusted to be exactly 1cm for one revoluion of the handle. The
adjustment plate shall then be secured by ightening the screw.
b) Tesing:
120 gm of soil passing through 425 micron IS sieve is mixed thoroughly with disilled water in an
evaporaing dish to form a uniform paste.
The consistency of the pate is adjusted approximately, such that it will require 30 to 35 drops of the
cup to get the required closure of the standard groove.
i. For clayey soil, the soil paste is allowed to stand for a suicient ime (24hrs) to allow water to
permeate through the soil mass.
ii. Ater 24 hrs i.e. when soaking period is over, the soil sample is taken from the bowl on a glass
plate & mixed by spatula, if required.
iii. The porion of this paste is placed in the cup above the spot where the cup rests on the base.
It is pressed by spatula so that depth of 1cm thickness is achieved at the point of maximum
thickness. The excess paste over 1 cm thickness is trimmed of.
iv. The paste in the cup is divided by grooving tool, by irm stroke, along the diameter through the
centerline of the cam follower so that a clean sharp groove of the proper dimensions is
formed.
v. The cap is lited & dropped by means of handle two revoluions per second unil two halves of
the soil cake come in contact at the botom of the groove along a distance of about 12 cm.
vi. The no. of drops required to cause the groove to close for the length of 12 cm is recorded.
vii. A representaive soil paste is taken from the cup approximately equal to the width of the
spatula, extending from about edge to edge of the soil cake at right angle to the groove &
including that porion of the groove in which the soil lowed together through 12 mm. This
paste is placed in the airight container to determine the moisture content expressed as a
percentage of the oven dry weight.
viii. The remaining soil in the cup is transferred to the evaporaing dish & the cup & grooving tool
are cleaned thoroughly.
ix. More water is added to bring the paste to a more luid condiion & the test is repeated for
three more trials with moisture content in increasing order. In no case dried soil should be
added to the thoroughly mixed soil that is being tested.
x. The no of blows is recorded in each case & the moisture content determined.
xi. The paste shall be of such consistency that the no. of drops required to close the groove shall
not be less than 15 or more than 35.
xii. The test should proceed from the drier (more drops) to the weter (less drops) condiion of the
soil.
xiii. The procedure shall be repeated unil two consecuive results give the same no of droops to
close the groove.
G) OBSERVATION:
As given in the atached format.

QAP/TP/03
PLASTIC LIMIT
A) AIM:
To determine the plasic limit of soil.
B) SCOPE:
i. The plasic limit of soil depends on the amount & type of clay in a soil & forms the basis for the
soil classiicaion system for cohesive soil based on the plasicity tests.
ii. The plasicity tests give informaion regarding the cohesion properies of soil & the amount of
capillary water, which it can hold.
iii. This test is used directly in speciicaions for controlling soil for use in ill.
Deiniion: Plasic limit is the water content at which soil will just begin to crumble when rolled in to
a thread of approximately 3mm diameter.
C) REFERENCE: Code IS 2720 (Part V) 1985 (Revision-2).
D) APPARATUS REQUIRED:

ii. The soil mass is allowed to stand for 24 hrs for clayey soil to ensure uniform distribuion of
moisture throughout the soil.

iii. A ball is formed with about 8g of the plasics soil mass and rolled between the ingers & the
glass plate with just suicient pressure to form a thread of uniform diameter throughout its
length.

iv. Rate of rolling is kept between 80 to 90 strokes/ minute, each stroke being one complete
moion of hand forward & backward to original posiion.

v. The specimen is rolled ill the thread becomes 3mm diameter approximately. The signs of
crumbling are observed on the thread.

vi. If no signs of crumbling are observed on the thread, then the thread is kneaded together to a
uniform mass & rerolled to form 3mm diameter thread.

vii. The process is coninued ill signs of crumbling are observed at 3mm diameter. This crumbling
may occur when the thread has a diameter greater than 3mm also.

viii. The crumbled pieces of soil thread are collected in airight container to determine the
moisture content in % age.

ix. The avg. of such three moisture content determinaions is found & reported as plasic limit of
soil.

G) OBSERVATION:
As given in the atached format.
H) RESULT:
The avg. of the calculated result is rounded to the nearest whole number for sandy soils, the plasic
limit should be determined irst. When plasic limit can’t be determined the plasicity index should
be reported as Non plasic (NP)

When plasic limit is equal to or greater than liquid limit, than the plasicity index is reported as zero.
I) CONCLUSION:
At the same liquid limit, higher the plasicity index, the more cohesive is the clay. Aterberg limits
along with mechanical analysis helps in the ideniicaion & classiicaion of soils. These limits also
provide general idea about other properies of soils such as shear strength, permeability etc. on the
basis which their suitability for the proposed work can be determined.

1. Sampling from stock piles

a) Divide the quanity of aggregate into a suitable no of sub-lots of approximately equal
size.
b) Scope out aggregate at various points of the sub-lots.
c) Take a minimum no. of ten increments from the thus exposed sides of the stock piles
each increment being not less than 1 kg the no of increments being equally distributed
over the sub-lot.
d) Collect it in a sampling bag to form a gross sample representaive of the sub- lot.
e) The no of increments are taken equally from top-third at the mid point and at the bot-
tom third of the volume of the pile.
2. REDUCTION OF GROSS SAMPLE
a) Divide the aggregates that have been collected, by any one of the methods explained
below :
b) Reducion by rile divider.
i. Keep the collector boxes on either side of rile divider.
ii. Mix the aggregates and pour into the rile.
iii. Repeat the process using diferent size of riles according to the size of aggreg-
ates, ill the required quanity of aggregate & contained.
c) Mix the aggregate and scope it into a cone-shaped pile, taking care that the aggregate is
dropped from each scope over the same spot so as to avoid uneven distribuion of the
paricle sizes.
d) Ater forming the cone, laten it by pressing the top of the cone with the smooth sur-
face of the scope.
e) Cut into quarters by two lines which intersect at right angles at the center of the cone.
f) The bulk of the sample in this is reduced by rejecing any two diagonally opposite quar-
ters.

Aggregate Impact Value

A) AIM:
The Aggregate impact value indicates a relaive measure of resistance of aggregate to impact which
has diferent efect than the resistance to gradually increasing compressive stress. A test designed to
evaluate the toughness of stones or the resistance of the aggregates to fracture under repeated
impacts is called impact test. The aggregate impact test is commonly carried out to evaluate the
resistance to impact of aggregates and has been standardized by ISI. The aggregate impact value
gives a relaive measure of the resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact.

E) PROCEDURE:
Grading of aggregate can be done by sieve analysis either manually or with the help of mechanical
devices. The grading patern of a sample of coarse aggregate and ine aggregate is assumed by
sieving a sample successively through all the sieves mounted one over the other in order of size,
with larger sieve on the top. The material retained on each sieve ater shaking, represents the
fracion of aggregate coarser than the sieve and rest is iner than the sieve. In manual operaion, the
sieve is shaken giving movements in all possible direcions to give chance to all paricles for passing
through the sieve and is coninued ill almost no paricle is passing through. The weight of the
retained fracion on each sieve is taken and expressed in percentage retained to the total sample
taken. Hence cumulaive percentage retained and percentage passing through each sieve may be
calculated. The sieve size is ploted along X-axis in logarithmic scale. Grading curve can be drawn by
connecing the ploted points, which gives paricle size distribuion of the aggregate at a glance.

F) OBSERVATION:
As given in the atached format for Course & ine aggregate.

G) CALCULATION:
Grading of aggregate will be expressed as the % passing of diferent fracion through speciied
sieves.

The apparatus for conducing the slump test consists of a metallic mould in the form a frustum of a
cone having the internal dimension as follows:
Botom diameter: 20CM, Top diameter: 10CM, Height: 30cm.
For tamping the concrete, a steel tamping rod 16mm diameter, 0.6 meter long with bullet end is
used.
D) PROCEDURE:
i. The mould is placed on a smooth rigid and non-absorbent surface ater cleaning the internal
surface of the mould thoroughly.
ii. The mould is then illed in four equal layers and each layer is tamped 25 imes evenly over the
enire cross secion by tamping rod. Ater striking of the excess concrete from the top, the
mould is removed from the concrete immediately by raising it slowly and carefully in a verical
direcion, which allows the concrete to subside.
iii. The diference in level between the height of the mould and that at the highest point of the
subsided concrete measured in mm is deined as slump of concrete. The workability as well as
the quality of concrete can be detected by observing the patern of slump.
E) CONCLUSION:
The slump test should be carried out at Birching plant as well as at pouring end to know the
workability of the concrete mix.
Any adjustment in the mix could be done depending upon the analysis of the test results.
