The Determination of In-Place Density |
| |
This method of test is designed to determine the in-place density of soils, aggregates, or soil-aggregate mixtures, untreated, treated, or stabilized, using one of four different methods. The method shall be selected by the engineer. Although all methods are considered acceptable, the nuclear device is hereby designated as the Department's official standard for in-place density.

Mechanical Analysis of Soils |
| |
This method describes the procedure for determining the distribution of particle sizes of soils by sieve and hydrometer analysis. It also describes a procedure for determining the distribution of particle sizes of oils suitable for cement stabilization. It is recommended for use when it is needed to expedite soil cement construction.

Organic Material in Soil |
| |
This method describes a procedure for the determination of percentage of organic material present in soil. This test shall be conducted on all soils in which there is evidence of organic matter present during the sampling, preparation of sample, or the conducting of physical or mechanical analysis. Results obtained by this method shall be the referee for acceptance or rejection of a soil with organic content.

Field Moisture-Density Relationships
This method if test is designed to determine the optimum moisture and maximum dry density of material based on a curve obtained from the average of two one-point proctors developed from field-condition material. The procedure is applicable to all soils and soil aggregates with or without cement or lime additive, including recycled in¬ place material.

Determination of the Percentage of Lime for Treatment of Soils or Soil-Aggregate Mixtures |
| |
This method of test is designed to determine the minimum percentage of hydrated or quick lime to be added to a soil or soil-aggregate mixture.
|

The Mixing Loss of Aggregate Material |
| |
This method of test has two parts. The first part is intended to determine the loss in volume (mixing loss) when two or more shell components, or sand and shell, are measured separately by wet volume, according to predetermined proportions, then mixed on the roadway. Mixing loss (percent shrinkage) is determined based on field conditions of the materials. The second part is intended to determine the loss in volume (mixing loss) when two or more components of base course or shoulder surfacing material, other than shell or sand and shell, are measured separately, then mixed on the roadway. This procedure provides proportions of components needed to produce a material which meets a specified gradation, such as sand-clay-gravel. Mixing loss (percent shrinkage) is determined based on field conditions of the materials.

Moisture-Density Relationships
These methods of test are designed to determine the relationship between the moisture content of the materials listed below and the resulting maximum dry weight density when the material is compacted in the laboratory as specified in this procedure. This procedure is also applicable to previously stabilized or treated materials and existing materials, including materials containing asphaltic particles or particles of other surfacing, which are to be treated or stabilized. |

Determination of the Compaction Factor of Base Material |
| |
This method of test is intended for determining the ratio of the loss in volume due to compaction.

Classification of Soils and Soil-Aggregate Mixtures for Highway Construction Purposes |
| |
This method describes the procedure for classifying soils and soil-aggregate mixtures by arrangement into a soil group classification and assignment of a group index value based on laboratory determinations of particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, and organic content. Also included in this method is the assignment of a textural name classification based on the particle size distribution.

Determination of the Conversion Ratio of Soils |
| |
This method of test is intended for determining a ratio that may be used to convert a volume of compacted soil to the undisturbed (in situ) volume of the soil, and in particular to determine a ratio that may be used to convert a volume of soil computed from the in-place dimensions of a roadway base course or subbase course to a volume of undisturbed soil in a borrow area.

Determination of Muck Elevation |
| |
This method of test is intended to determine the muck elevation both before and after the mucking operation. It is primarily intended for use in inundated areas or in highly saturated materials where conventional means of cross-sectioning would be impractical and unreliable. This method is not intended for use in determining the extent of objectional material (muck) but is solely intended for use in determining the top elevation of the solid material.
