Laboratory Test Assignment Guidelines

The document outlines the onshore lab testing schedule for various soil types, including cohesive, non-cohesive, and rock/cemented soil, specifying the types of tests to be conducted, their standards, and the required intervals for sampling. It emphasizes the need for minimum testing per layer and proximity to assigned strength tests, with specific instructions for different soil classifications. Additionally, it includes remarks on testing conditions and requirements for various chemical and physical properties.
