Grading - Particle Size Distribution in Sydney
Grading – Particle Size Distribution (PSD) Testing is a crucial process in geotechnical and materials engineering that determines the particle size distribution of soils, aggregates, and other granular materials. This test provides important insights into material composition, which affects the performance of soil in construction projects, particularly for foundations, pavements, and road construction.
Importance of Grading – Particle Size Distribution Testing
At Geotechnical Consulting & Testing Services, we offer accurate and reliable grading and particle size distribution testing to ensure the suitability of materials for your construction and engineering needs. Particle Size Distribution (PSD) testing measures the range and proportion of different-sized particles in a given sample. The results are presented as a curve (known as a grading curve), showing the percentage of material passing through different sieve sizes. This test helps in understanding how materials will behave under compaction and load conditions.
Identifies the suitability of aggregates and soils for specific construction applications, ensuring they meet project requirements. Assesses the soil’s ability to compact, which directly influences its strength and stability as a foundation material. Provides essential data for designing durable and stable roadbeds, ensuring optimal load-bearing capacity and drainage. Ensures materials used in construction meet regulatory standards and specifications for performance and safety.
