Transcription of CHAPTER 7 CORRECTING DENSITY TESTS FOR MATERIAL …
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
7-12012 golden rule of compaction testing is: The proctor used to calculate percent DENSITY must match the soil being tested. This fact is restated here because it is the single factor why plus 4 corrections are states when soil materials contain 10% or more MATERIAL retained on the No. 4 sieve (3 or more dime size stones), it is necessary to correct the proctor results which are calculated on the minus 4 portion of the MATERIAL . Basically, this is why: Rocks are heavier than soil. This sounds pretty simple, but this simple fact actually sets up a fairly complex relationship when +4 MATERIAL is present in a is worth noting here the difference between the presence of +4 MATERIAL and a rock fi ll.
2012 v1.0 7-7 Procedure for Determining Amount of +4 Material in Total Soil (This procedure for Soil and Aggregates) 1. Obtain representative sample - Use material from sandcone hole or a minimum of 5.5 lbs. from location of nuclear test.
