A fresh set every day. Short, practical, and written the way it actually matters on site.
Atterberg Limits
Moisture contents marking a fine soil's shift between solid, plastic and liquid states.
On siteLiquid limit and plastic limit classify the soil and predict how badly it will swell and shrink.
Cover
The concrete thickness between the outermost steel and the exposed face.
On siteIt is the only thing protecting reinforcement from corrosion. Wrong cover blocks is the most common site defect.
Contour Line
A line joining points of equal elevation on a plan.
On siteClosely spaced lines mean steep ground. Reading the spacing tells you the earthwork before any calculation.
Soling
A packed layer of stone or brick placed below a foundation or floor.
On siteIt gives a firm working base and breaks capillary rise from the soil below.
Standard Penetration Test
Counting hammer blows to drive a sampler 300 mm into the borehole.
On siteThe N-value is the fastest field indicator of density and correlates to bearing capacity.
