What is Compaction Testing? 🚧📏 Compaction testing is all about making sure the soil beneath your project is strong, stable, and ready to support whatever gets built on top — whether that’s a road, foundation, or sidewalk. 🏗️ Using a Troxler nuclear gauge ⚛️, we measure the density and moisture content of the soil right on site. This helps determine if the soil has been compacted to the required specifications, ensuring long-term performance and preventing issues like settling or cracking down the road. 💪🌍 Think of it as a “check-up for the ground” 🩺➡️🌎 — making sure the foundation below the surface is just as reliable as what gets built above it.#napavalley #soilstech #soilsengineer #compaction #report #recommendations #soil #drains #requirements

how soil testing is done for construction | soil testing methods |

In this video I show you how to perform a simple homemade soil texture test using only a soil sample, water, and one spoon of detergent, so you can identify whether your soil is sandy, loamy, or clayey and better understand how to manage your crops. #Agriculture #SoilTexture #SoilTest #Farming #SoilScience

🧪Soil testing🧪 isn't just a checkbox—it's the foundation of safe, stable construction! Here's why skipping it could cost you lakhs (and headaches): ➡️Prevents sinking foundations: Identifies weak soil to avoid 80% of settlement cracks. ➡️Cuts repair costs 20-40%: Early detection means right foundation type, no rework. ➡️Custom site solutions: Matches soil to piles, drainage, or compaction needs. . . 🔽🔽These precise analyses ensure your home stands strong for decades: 🟡Hydrometer analysis: Measures fine particle sizes for drainage & settlement prediction. 🟡Triaxial & Direct Shear: Tests soil shear strength under load—critical for foundation stability. 🟡Liquid/Plastic Limit: Determines clay behavior (shrink/swell)—prevents cracks. 🟡Free Swell Index: Identifies expansive soils common in Bengaluru black cotton soil. 🟡Moisture Content & Grain Size: Guides compaction & optimal foundation design. Pro tip: These run on upto 10ft borehole samples before groundbreaking! . . ✅ ✅ Kindly do follow, like, comment and share ✅✅ . .

Test your soil to uncover its structure to know what will grow best in this soil! 🌿 You simply need to follow the instructions of this video and make this calculation : 1. Measure the total height of the soil. Here 110mm 2. Measure the height of each layers 3. Make this calculation : (Height a one layer / Total height) x 100 (30/110) x 100 = 27% of Clay (60/110) x 100 = 54% of Silt (20/110) x 100 = 18% of Sand Simply google “soil test jar”, you will find the pyramid diagram to indicate you the type of soil you have, depending on your own results. This will then indicate you what will grow best in your soil! 🇫🇷 Testez votre sol pour connaître sa composition et adapter vos cultures Remplir de moitié une bouteille ou un bocal en verre qui se ferme, avec quelques poignées de terre prélevées a environ 10/15 cm de profondeur. Ajoutez de l’eau jusqu’en haut, puis fermez la bouteille en laissant un peu d’air, et secouez énergiquement pour bien dissoudre la terre Laissez reposer durant 24 heures sans la manipuler. Le lendemain, on mesure la hauteur totale du dépôt dans la bouteille à l’aide d’une règle. Puis, on mesure la hauteur des trois strates : au fond c’est un dépôt grossier de sable et petites roches, au-dessus, un dépôt très fin difficilement dissociable à l’oeil nu, ce sont les limons. Pour finir, une couche compacte, dense et de couleur plus foncée, c’est l’argile Petit calcul facile pour convertir la hauteur de vos strates en pourcentage grâce à la règle de 3 suivante : (hauteur de la strate/hauteur totale du dépôt) × 100 Dans notre exemple, cela donne : hauteur totale = 110 mm (30/110) x 100 = 27% d’argile (60/110) x 100 = 54% de Limon (20/110) x 100 = 18% de sable Ce sol est donc à dominance limono-sableux, Tapez sur google « test sol bocal » pour connaitre votre catégorie de sol en fonction de vos résultats! Plusieurs légumes ou fruitiers apprécient ce sol, comme indiqué dans la vidéo Bonus : si vous observez des particules qui flottent en surface, ce sont des matières organiques qui indiquent grossièrement la fertilité du sol #soiltest #masonjar #soilhealth #growingfood

Living Soil vs City Soil experiment 🌱💧 In this simple test we compare how water infiltrates through healthy living soil and compacted city soil. The difference shows why many cities struggle with flooding. When soil is compacted or sealed, rain can’t soak in and instead runs off into streets and drains. Nature-based solutions like SUGi Pocket Forests help rebuild living soil in cities. Their dense native planting improves soil structure and allows rainwater to infiltrate naturally—helping cities manage flooding while restoring urban biodiversity. Support Nature-based Solutions that build biodiversity, climate resilience, and wellbeing in cities. 🌿 Link in our bio 👆 SUGi UK Forest Lead: Adrian Wong @barknmoss #SUGi #PocketForest #flooding #city

🚨STOP🚨buying Miracle Gro if you want a healthy garden this spring👇 Comment SOIL and follow me to learn everything you need to know about garden soil. Listen, if you want bigger harvests and a healthier garden this year, you’ve got to focus on the soil. It’s the #1 thing I recommend my clients master before planting a single seed. I typically mix my own soil with 3/8 topsoil, 3/8 compost and 1/4 parts sand, but if I had to buy pre-bagged soil, here’s what I would look for: ❌no miracle gro or artificial fertilizer ❌no peat moss products ❌little/no vermiculite or perlite If you want to learn all my soil tips amd master your garden this year, you’ve got to join my Soil School.

Seed Germination Test (Blotter Method) 🌱 using the blotter method (ISTA) Steps: • Place filter paper in a Petri dish • Add a specific number of seeds • Moisten with sterile water • Incubate at 22 °C with a photoperiod • Observe germination and seed health ⚠️ The number of seeds per Petri dish depends on seed size. In my case, I work with Brassica seeds, which are very small seeds ﴿ وَإِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ ﴾ (Qur’an, Surah Luqman 31:16) #phytopathology #phytopathologygirl #seedgermination #seed #plantdisease
