The Application of Impact Tester for Compaction Control
The safety of the earth structures is highly dependent upon the fill compaction quality. Recently developed nondestructive testing techniques (NDT) present many advantages in comparison with conventional field density measurements. Therefore, use of NDT in monitoring of the fill quality appears to be attractive for future pavement geotechnics applications. This paper presents an alternative technology using non-destructive Clegg impact tester for compaction control in silty sand. 132 compaction tests and impact tests with varying values of compaction effort, moisture content, and density were conducted in laboratory. Each observed impact value (Iv) was then considered as a function of its corresponding compaction effort, moisture content and dry density. Results of the study show that for the silty sand tested, the variations of Iv with moisture content are similar to the corresponding unique moisture-density compaction relationship. The values of Iv generally correlate well with moisture-density relationship for each compaction effort. Along with a speedy moisture tester, dry density can be predicted using target Iv values in a fast and efficient manner based on current standard specification.
