INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE AND GOALS.

Engineering training: It’s one of the main courses in civil engineering at
Kumasi technical university where every student undertakes a 06month
actively industrial attachment.
PURPOSE
The main purpose of this course is to apply the theoretical
knowledge into practical work.
GOALS
theory learnt in the classroom on the field.
To know how to perform and interpret laboratory tests.

dollars.
 CHAPTER THREE

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL

Determination of Moisture Content
Moisture content, w = M W/ D M x 100 (%). usually heating at ±105C.
Safety aspects

Oven-drying method (standard method)

 QA/QC
Determination of Atterberg Limits
The Atterberg limit is used to indicate the plasticity of fine grained soil
by the differentiation between highly plastic, moderately plastic and
non-plastic soils.
Liquid limit test
Plastic limit
 QA/QC
Shrinkage limit
Maximum water content at which a reduction of water content will not
cause a decrease in the volume of the soil mass.
Plasticity Index
Plasticity index (Ip or PI) is the range of water content over which the
soil remains in the plastic state.
 QA/QC
COMPACTION (STANDARD PROTOCTIST TEST).
the process of increasing soil unit weight by forcing soil solids into a
tighter state and reducing the air voids and thus increasing the stability
and supporting capacity of soil and by so doing, increases the density

 QA/QC
Sand Replacement Test
Calibrations
Calculations
Calculate the mass of sand required to fill the calibrating container;
m0=m1-m4-m2
Calculate the bulk density of the sand; ⍴=m/v
Calculate the bulk density of the soil.ρsoil mw/mb*⍴
Calculate the dry density ; ρd = ρ ⁄1+w
Calculate the in-situ relative compaction; RC= ρd/MDD*100
 QA/QC
Particle size analysis
This is a method of separation of soils into different fractions based on
particle size
Particle size distribution curve
represents the distribution of particles of different sizes in the soil
mass.
 Uses of particle size distribution curve
The particle size distribution curve is used in the classification of
coarse-grained soils.
The particle size distribution provides an index to the shear strength
of the soil.
GPS SURVEY SURVEYING
GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM is a method used in survey where the
positioning in which the coordinates X, Y, and Z of a survey stations are
determined by reception and analysis of NAVSTAR satellite signals.
Importance of GPS in Survey
No line of sight is required.
Operators do not need high levels of skill.
Disadvantages of GPS in survey
A good electronic view of the sky is required.
The equipment concerned is expensive.
 SURVEY
Sources of errors
Natural
Instrumental
TAPING MISTAKES AND ERRORS
Misreading the tape
Ranging
It means fixing a series of pegs or other marks such that they all lie
on a straight line.
Flagging of pegs
Flagging tapes are hanged limply and drooping on the pegs indicating
the level at which the next layer will be the filled up to.
 SURVEY
Offsetting
The area lying between the chainage lines and the boundaries of the
site.
TRAVEREING
Traversing is establishing series of control points, each being intervisible
with the adjacent stations, are carefully selected and fixed.
Required measurements in traversing
The angles between successive lines
The length of each traverse line
 EARTH-WORKS
Earthworks
Earthwork is a construction work involving excavating, earthmoving,
and building embankment.
Placement of material.
Treatment of placed material
Compaction
EARTHWORK
 DECANTING AND CONCRETE WORKS

Decant System
CONCRETE WORKS
Concrete batching
Workability of concrete
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST

CUBIC METER OF M20 GRADE TO CUBIC CONCRETE. IS 1199 (1959) CODE
OF PRACTICE.
