CBR PROCTOR and others
Sort of a related question. I have a project where there is no specification on the under-slab compacted stone (ABC) density. The geotech report says "design slabs using MSR of 150 pci". Can this be related to a specific percent compaction of crushed granular material, or should I just use...- psock

Footing Excavation Testing
In reponse to BigH, its a pad for a garbage dumpster and I have been brought into this project because the last geotech was kicked off, so I am a little behind the curve for this site. Not sure if geo tech reports are going to be made available to me. Thanks.- psock

Footing Excavation Testing
I have a project where a small concrete strip footer is to be placed. The subgrade soil is a red clay and will be undercut approximately 2.5' to accomodate the footer. I was considering using a DCP to test the bottom of the excavtion, but I am not sure how to relate the DCP to psf. Any ideas?- psock
