The Frequency of Various Tests
In the first stage of construction the first test shall be taken is the In-Situ Density
test but I was a bit stock when the consultant asked about the frequency of
compaction test of in-situ soil. I made a research immediately just within the
contract project documents: specification, drawing, bill of quantity but most often it
is written on the specification, sometimes it is also written in the General
Specification on the structural drawing.
I would try to post some frequencies of different tests for newbies or for those who
has years of experience already to bookmark this page as your reference. So that it
will be very easy for you to find out and come back again on this post. Especially in
