The geotechnical properties of soil, such as grain-size distribution, plasticity, compressibility, and shear strength, can be assessed using proper laboratory [10] is summarized in Table 3, which shows the
sieve analysis results for slope soil found on the Al Hosh highway.

SIEVE ANALYSIS: Figure 1 describes the particle size distribution of both waste powder and wall mix.
Excellent strength results were observed (Table 1)in the screen
sieve analysis when calcium lignosulfonate was used as an internal additive; further, calcium lignosulfonate adheres well to the fertilizer surface when used as an external additive.
All tests for basic soil properties (liquid limit, plastic limit,
sieve analysis and hydrometer) were performed in the civil Engineering Department, UET, Lahore according to ASTM standard.
The
sieve analysis according to standards ISO3310:2-1999 and BS410-1:2000 has been performed.
Sieve analysis of silica sand and gravel aggregates is shown in Tables 1 and 2.
The
sieve analysis of all samples was done using Tyler equivalent meshes with a portable Rotap sieve shaker per ASTM D-5603-01.
A consultant in fossil fuel analysis and quality management based in New Jersey, Nadkarni lists the ASTM methods for measuring such characteristics as carbon and hydrogen in coal and coke, mercury, plasticity of coal,
sieve analysis, specific gravity of lump coal, and washability.
