Compaction Factor Loose thickness of WMM Layer

value for WMM /

Loose thickness of

WMM Layer

In this article we shall

discuss three

important points

about wet Mix

Macadam (WMM)

1- How can we
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
calculate the required

WMM quantity?

2 - What is value of

compaction factor for

WMM?

3- How much loose

thickness should be

taken to get proper

compacted layer

thickness ?
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…

1- How can we
calculate the required

WMM quantity?

Let us consider

Length of WMM

Bed(L) = 1 Km = 1000
Met.
Breadth of WMM

Bed(B)= 7 Met.
Thickness of WMM

Layer (T) = 150 mm

=0.150 Met.

Max. Dry Density

(MDD) =2.230 Gram/
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
Cubic Centimeter =

2230KG/ Cubic metre

Note - The value of

MDD is calculated by
conducting proctor

density test as per IS

2720 (part -28) : 1983

(Reaffirmed - May
2015).

Then
Volume of WMM

Layer = ( Length of
WMM Bed X Width of

WMM Bed X
Thickness of WMM
Layer)

Volume of WMM

Layer = L X B X T
Volume of WMM

Layer = 1000 X 7 X
0.150 Volume of
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
WMM Layer = 1050

Cubic Metre

We Know That

Mass = Volume X
Density

in this case -

Mass = Volume X

MDD

Putting the value in

the Formula

Mass = 1050 X 2230

KG
Mass = 23,41,500 KG

To convert above

quantity in Tonn
We Know That

1 Tonn = 1000 KG
Then
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
Mass =(2341500/

1000) Tonn

Mass = 2,341.5 Tonn

Hence required
WMM quantity is

2,341.5 Tonn.

2 - What is value of

compaction factor for

WMM?
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
Density of Blended
aggregate /Density of

WMM Mix = 1.60

gram/cc to 2.0
gram/cc

= 1600 - 2000

KG/ cubic metre

In this case

Let us consider

Density of Blended

aggregate /Density of

WMM Mix = 1.80

gram/cc = 1800 Kg /

cubic metre

Value of Max. Dry

Density (MDD) =

2.230 gram/cc = 2230

KG/ cubic metre

Compaction Factor =
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
(Max.Dry

Density/Density of

Blended Aggregate )

=2.230/ 1.80

=1.2388 = 1.24
Hence compaction

factor = 1.24

3- How much loose

thickness should be

taken to get proper

compacted layer
thickness ?

Compaction factor =

1.24
Thickness of WMM

Layer = 150 mm

Hence

Loose thickness of

WMM Layer = (

Compacted layer
WWW.GYANOFENGINEE…
thickness X
Compaction Factor )

= 150 X 1.24

= 185.83 = 186 mm (
Take)

Hence Loose

Thickness of WMM
Layer is 186 mm.
