Control of Embankment Material by Laboratory Testing
The United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) laboratory has established procedures for standardizing the testing of material to be used in embankments of earth dam structures. This paper describes these tests and their applications, and their correlation with field data.Compaction testing has been developed from the procedures established by R. R. Proctor, M. ASCE. The test has been slightly modified, and laboratory methods of determining the compaction effect of sheepsfoot rollers are described. The effect of rock present in the soil mixture is analyzed, and compaction testing of pervious materials is also. considered. The laboratory tests led to the development of efficient compaction equipment and procedures for field use.
