Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 4: Determination of particle size distribution (ISO/TS 17892-4:2004)

ISO/TS 17892-4:2004 describes methods for the determination of the particle size distribution of soil samples.
The particle size distribution is one of the most important physical characteristics of soil. Classification of soils is mainly based on the particle size distribution. Many geotechnical and geohydrological properties of soil are related to the particle size distribution.
The particle size distribution provides a description of soil, based on a subdivision in discrete classes of particle sizes. The size of each class can be determined by sieving and/or sedimentation. For soils with less than 10 % fines, the sieving method is applicable. Soils with more than 10 % fines can be analysed by a combination of sieving and sedimentation.
Sieving is the process whereby the soil is separated in particle size classes by the use of test sieves.
Sedimentation is the process of the setting of soil particles in a liquid. The difference in settling rate enables the particle size classes to be separated. Two sedimentation methods are described; the hydrometer method and the pipette method.
The methods described are applicable to all non-cemented soils with particle sizes less than 125 mm.
Depending on the purpose for the determination of the particle size distribution, pretreatment or correction for calcium carbonate, dissolved salts and/or organic matter can be required. The use of these methods should be stated in the laboratory report.
Modern methods that incorporate detection systems using x-rays, laser beams, density measurements and particle counters are not covered by this document.

Reconnaissance et essais géotechniques - Essais de laboratoire sur les sols - Partie 4: Détermination de la distribution granulométrique des particules (ISO/TS 17892-4:2004)

L'ISO 17892-4:2004 décrit des méthodes pour la détermination de la distribution granulométrique des particules d'échantillons de sol.
La distribution granulométrique des particules est l'une des caractéristiques physiques les plus importantes pour la description d'un sol. La classification des sols est essentiellement basée sur elle. En outre, de nombreuses propriétés géotechniques et hydrogéologiques sont liées à la distribution granulométrique des particules.
La distribution granulométrique des particules fournit une description du sol basée sur la subdivision en classes discrètes des dimensions des particules. La dimension de chacune de ces classes peut être déterminée par tamisage et/ou sédimentation. Le tamisage est applicable aux sols contenant moins de 10 % de fines. Les sols contenant plus de 10 % de fines peuvent être analysés en combinant tamisage et sédimentation.
Le tamisage est un procédé par lequel le sol est séparé en classes de dimension des particules au moyen de tamis d'essai. La sédimentation est un procédé dans lequel le sol est mis en suspension dans un liquide. La différence des vitesses de dépôt permet de séparer les particules en classes de dimension différente. Deux méthodes de sédimentation sont décrites: la méthode du densimètre et celle de la pipette.
Les méthodes décrites dans ce document peuvent être appliquées à tous les sols non cimentés dont les particules ont une dimension inférieure à 125 mm.
En fonction du but poursuivi par l'analyse granulométrique, un prétraitement ou une correction peuvent s'avérer nécessaires pour les carbonates de calcium, les sels dissous et/ou la matière organique. Il convient de signaler l'utilisation de ces méthodes dans le rapport d'essai.
Les méthodes modernes utilisant les rayons X, un faisceau laser, le mesurage de la masse volumique et le comptage des particules ne sont pas prises en considération dans le présent document.

Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje – Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin – 4. del: Ugotavljanje zrnavostne sestave (ISO/TS 17892-4:2004)

Ta dokument opisuje metode za ugotavljanje zrnavostne sestave vzorcev zemljine. Zrnavostna sestava je ena najpomembnejših fizikalnih značilnosti zemljine. Klasifikacija zemljin v glavnem temelji na zrnavostni sestavi. Z zrnavostno sestavo so povezane številne geotehnične in geohidrološke lastnosti zemljine. Zrnavostna sestava omogoča opis zemljine, ki temelji na razdelitvi na ločene razrede glede na velikosti delcev. Velikost vsakega razreda se lahko določi s sejanjem in/ali usedanjem. Za zemljine z manj kot 10 % finih delcev se uporablja metoda s sejanjem. Zemljine z več kot 10 % finih delcev se lahko analizirajo s kombinacijo sejanja in usedanja. Sejanje je postopek, pri katerem se zemljina z uporabo preskusnih sit loči na razrede glede na velikosti delcev. Usedanje je postopek posedanje delcev zemljine v tekočini. Razlika v hitrosti posedanja omogoča ločevanje razredov delcev glede na velikost. Opisani sta dve metodi usedanja: metoda s hidrometrom in metoda s pipeto. Opisani metodi se uporabljata za vse necementne zemljine z velikostjo delcev pod 125 mm. Glede na namen ugotavljanja zrnavostne sestave je lahko potrebna predhodna obdelava ali korekcije zaradi kalcijevega karbonata, raztopljenih soli in/ali organske snovi. Uporabo teh metod je treba navesti v laboratorijskem poročilu. Ta dokument ne zajema modernih metod, ki vključujejo detekcijske sisteme z rentgenskimi žarki, laserskimi žarki, meritvami gostote in števci delcev.
