About this document
Field Compaction Specification Guidelines by Eftikar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The key parameters for effective soil compaction in the field are relative compaction and placement water content. Relative compaction is determined using a ratio comparing dry density of compacted fill to maximum dry density from laboratory tests. Placement water content is usually within 2% of optimum moisture content from lab tests. Objectives of field compaction control include verifying in-situ density and moisture meet specifications and ensuring proper compaction equipment and procedures are used.
