Criteria for describing plasticity.
Criteria for describing cementation
Criteria for describing structure Sedimentation quick tests
performed on several soils. Soil type associated with settling time in a field dispersion test Criteria for describing particle shape.
The dry strength quick test.
Criteria for describing sensitivity of intact, fi ne-grained soil.
Tooth test: The tooth test can
be used to discern whether fine-grained soils are greater than clay size (0.002 mm). A soil particle greater than 0.002 mm will feel gritty on the tooth. Criteria for describing dry strength
