Aggregate Stability and Size Distribution
Abstract
In determining aggregate stability, known amounts of some size fraction of aggregates are commonly subjected to a disintegrating force designed to simulate some important field phenomenon. The amount of disintegration is measured by determining the portion (by weight) of the aggregates that is broken down into aggregates and primary particles smaller than some selected size. This determination is usually made by sieving or sedimentation. This chapter discusses the principles underlying the development of methods for measuring aggregate stability and size distribution. Multiple-sieve techniques give data on the amount of aggregates in each of several size groupings. To evaluate treatments or to rank soils, a single parameter to represent a soil sample is necessary. Aggregate size distribution often is measured to gain information on the size of the aggregates as they exist in the mass of soil. This requires a wetting treatment that will cause as little disintegration as possible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
