GENERAL

Generally, trial compactions are to be carried out to determine the laboratory and field optimum moisture contents which are to be deduced from the laboratory and field dry density/moisture content relationships and also to determine the specified requirements. Specifically, trial compactions are required to measure the following parameter: 1. Number of passes required to achieve degree of compaction specified in the contract. 2. The maximum thickness of fill which complies to the degree of compaction specified in the contract. The dry density/moisture content, field density and specified tests shall be carried out using the appropriate methods described in B.S. 1377. 4.0 TRIAL COMPACTION A level platform shall be prepared prior to the commencement of trial compaction.
Each layer of fill shall be spread and leveled by bulldozer followed by compaction of the roller compactor employed for the project. Each sample shall be taken for field density tests to determine the degree of compaction based of the proposed number of passes as follows: a) 6 passes b) 8 passes c) 10 passes d) 12 passes e) 14 passes
