    Is there a way to test the field density of a gravel-filled layer?

    I thank all of you guys for your input on this matter. I've spent some time to check if there is any standard that covers the testing of any rock particle bigger than 3/4", making Ron and PEinc correct in asking how field density test results could be related to any laboratory values since none...

    Is there a way to test the field density of a gravel-filled layer?

    This is still related to my earlier thread about the Island road thing. Also, can the compaction % be measured accurately if the course is mostly 2-4inch aggregates with coral sand as its filler? Thanks again.

    Allowed Base course and subbase course material for island road

    Thank you for replying Ron. The subgrade soil is very poor, with groundwater table about 2-4feet from the natural grade line. We still don't know the ratio of grsvel to sand would be appropriate. Is there a way to use ASTM standards on this one?

    Allowed Base course and subbase course material for island road

    Hi guys! I am currently working on a project in an island in the Pacific where it is proposed that the Base course and Subbase course would consist 2inch to 4inch crushed stones mixed with coral sand and followed by PCCP (basically it means base and subbase course will be one and the same).
