Soil: Particle Size Ditribution: Contractor Client Supervisor

This document contains the results of a particle size distribution test and a liquid, plastic, and linear shrinkage limit test on a stabilized sub-base sample from the rehabilitation of the Olwiyo–Pakwach Road in Uganda. The particle size distribution test found that the sample contained 0-15% clay, 15-53% silt, and 33.7-49.1% sand and met the specification requirements. The liquid, plastic, and linear shrinkage limit test determined the water content needed for the soil to transition between states of consistency.
