Characteristics of Compacted Embankments
The purpose of this study was to provide data for establishing statistical parameters for percent compaction of compacted embankments using the present and latest techniques in testing methods and the standardized sandcone, the parameters are to be used in evaluating existing requirements and developing new specifications. Three different embankment projects were selected for testing by three different test methods. The results were analyzed to determine the statistical parameters normally used to evaluate quality of construction. The results indicated that the three test methods may be used interchangeably with comparable results. Factors concerning selection of the testing method must depend on availability, economics, accessibility of work, speed of testing and volume of material. (Author)
