This document provides information on the course CET054 Soils and Aggregates. The 4 credit hour course includes 2 hours of lecture and 4 hours of lab per week. It covers topics like aggregate types and uses, laboratory tests for aggregates, water content and grain size analysis of soils, soil classification, Atterburg limits, moisture-density curves, and field tests for compaction. Students will learn to perform various aggregate and soil tests, understand test procedures and documentation, and be able to classify soils and complete related calculations. Assessment includes exams, lab work, and a final, and the course aims to prepare students to work as aggregate or soil technicians.
