2. Soil test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

   In agriculture, a soil test commonly refers to the analysis of a soil sample to determine nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level. A soil test can determine fertility , or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates nutrient deficiencies, potential toxicities from excessive ...

3. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

   The standard penetration test (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS ...

4. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

   A soil sample recovered from a test boring using a split spoon sampler. Borings come in two main varieties: large diameter and small diameter. Large-diameter borings are rarely used because of safety concerns and expense but are sometimes used to allow a geologist or an engineer to visually and manually examine the soil and rock stratigraphy in-situ.

   When to test soil. Soil can be tested at any time of the year when the soil is not frozen, and samples can be collected. Fall is an excellent time of the year to have your soil tested as the ...

6. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

   Symbol used in drawings. Simplified version of a cone penetrometer. The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft ...

7. Atterberg limits - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atterberg_limits

   Atterberg limits. The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the critical water contents of a fine-grained soil: its shrinkage limit, plastic limit, and liquid limit. Depending on its water content, soil may appear in one of four states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid. In each state, the consistency and behavior of soil are different ...
