Clay Lumps and Friable Materials

The document summarizes test results for clay lumps and friable materials in a sand sample from the Mahara Khola river in Nepal. The sample was taken for a construction project and tested according to IS: 383-2016 standards. The test found 0.21% of the 400g sample by weight was lost during sieving, indicating a low percentage of clay lumps and friable particles below the 4.75mm sieve size. Along with 4.40% clay and silt from a wash test, the total deleterious materials were determined to be 4.62%.
