dartis soil lab sieve test page

Sieve Analysis

ASTM Standard: D-422

This is the most common soil test in a soil mechanics laboratory. Dartis Soil Lab covers all sieve sizes with the ability to add custom sieves. You have full control over sieve sets. You can also enter hydrometer test data.

Soil classification will be presented for both Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO classification system. When it comes to reporting, you can choose between four designed and ready templates.

dartis soil lab liquid limit test page

Atterberg Limits Test

ASTM Standard: D-4318

Easily process Liquid Limit (LL) and Plastic Limit (PL) tests! Enter any number of test data in Dartis Soil Lab and LL / PL and PI will be calculated automatically.

dartis soil lab specific gravity test page

Specific Gravity of Soil Solids

ASTM Standard: D-854 , C-127

In soil mechanics, the specific gravity of soil solids (which is often referred to as the specific gravity of soil) is an important parameter for calculating the weight–volume relationship.

dartis soil lab direct shear test page

Direct Shear

ASTM Standard: D-3080

This test is used to measure the internal friction angle and cohesion of soils.

dartis soil lab unconfined compression test page

Unconfined Compression

ASTM Standard: D-2166
The unconfined compression strength is determined by applying an axial stress to a cylindrical soil specimen with no confining pressure and observing the axial strains corresponding to various stress levels. The stress at which failure in the soil specimen occurs is referred to as the unconfined compression strengt.

dartis soil lab compaction test page

Compaction Test (Proctor)

ASTM Standard: D-698, D-1557

Dartis Soil Lab covers both Standard and Modified ASTM test methods. Moisture-density curve for various specific gravity (Gs) values, optimum moisture content and maximum dry density are calculated and presented in the compaction test report.

 
dartis soil lab 1D consolidation test page

1-D Consolidation Test

ASTM Standard: D-2435

Dartis Soil Lab accepts unlimited number of vertical loads for 1D consolidation test. The software provides pre-consolidation stress (Pc), compression index (Cc), re-compression index (Cs), t(50), t(90) and Cv.
