Dear oldestguy,
Does that mean that in lab, we will get lower result of compaction value from the test than the actual compaction condition at the site?
Dear all (especially oldestguy, cvg and Ron),
Thank you for all your reply and for wasting your time for me. In this moment, I will use all of your suggestions for my report to the company and contractor and I will also dig into the references that you gave for more information.
Thanks a lot...
@BUGGAR: LOL! I wish I can do that too!
@Ron: I can't be more agree with you. I would like to respect the engineer who made the design. But this justifying attempt is more of economical reason than engineering reason (because the construction phase had passed and I don't know who let this...
@oldestguy: I don't know the OK standard for the compaction of road work, but if you think 90% is good enough, can you tell me any reference that discuss about it? If there is any, may be I can read it later and show it to my lead engineer. Unfortunately, I don't get many details about the test...
Dear All,
I have a problem with unachieved compaction at its MDD value. As written in company specification, base course of road shoulder compaction must achieve at minimum 98% of its MDD. Unfortunately, the sand cone test result taken at site showed that the MDD value only achieved at least...
