Core Construction for Upgradaton & Improvement Works of Silchar Dwarbond Gaglacherra
Phaisen road under tenth five yr. Plan of NEC sponsored Scheme.(Package S.)
Dear Sir,
You are requested to get the laboratory tests conducted for the soil samples collected
as listed below from any independent recognized laboratory in order to assess their suitability
for the above said construction.
Please treat it as most urgent.
Tests to be conducted are:
a) Sand Content Test/Sieve Analysis [IS 2720(Part-4)]
b) Plasticity Test[IS 2720(Part-5)]
i)

Liquid Limit(LL)

ii)

Plastic Limit(PL)

iii)

Plasticity Index(PI)

c) Proctor Density Tests[IS 2720(Part-7/8)]

d) Moisture Content Test[IS 2720(Part-2)]
e) CBR Test[IS 2720(Part-16)]
The Laboratory Report should include the graph of density plotted against
moisture content, mentioning the maximum dry density, OMC etc.
