PCA SOIL PRIMER
This primer was prepared to furnish highway engineers with basic information on soil with regard to its influence on the design, construction, and performance of concrete, soil-cement, and other types of pavement. Definitions of soil terms are given and tests commonly employed by soil technicians are described, with particular emphasis on the practical meaning and application of these terms and tests. The information is presented in five chapters: soil and soil properties, soil identification and classification, soil surveys and soil sampling, soil-bearing-value tests, and examples of soil surveys, tests, and analyses. A subject index is included.
