Types of Soil Testing Services for Construction
-
Specific Gravity Test- This soil test in UAE is determined by using several methods. They need to measure the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water - a.k.a. specific gravity.
-
Measuring Flask Method
-
Density Bottle Method - commonly used by experts
-
Shrinkage Limit Method
-
Pyconometer Method - another common method used by professionals
-
Gas Jar Method
-
-
Proctor’s Compaction Test- This is done to find out the compaction characteristics of the soil. In a soil compaction test in UAE, the air dried sample is divided into 4 to 6 smaller samples. The expert will add 3% to 5% water to adjust its water content. Then a 5.5 pound standard hammer hits each sample layer 25 times.The samples are then removed, dried and studied. A curve plots the results which shows the optimal water content required to reach max dry density.

-
Sand bath method
-
Pycnometer method
-

-
Water Displacement
-
Sand Replacement
-
Core Cutter
-
-
