SOIL & AGGREGATE

AITL experts can perform #asphalt, soil and aggregate mechanical test methods which include Moisture Density Relationship (e.g., Proctor test) to Bearing Ratio (CBR) of Soils and Friability to Mechanical & Chemical Soundness of aggregates, Bitumen Extraction to Marshall Stability Test. Some other tests are mentioned below:

  • Field Density Test/ Compaction Test
  • Sieve Analysis
  • Liquid Limit
  •  Standard & Modified Proctor
  •  Specific Gravity
  •  Clay Lumps & Friable Particles
  •  California Bearing Ratio
  •  Soundness
  •  Los Angeles Abrasion & More
