You are right GeoPave, however, another proctor should be performed if a compaction test is > or = 105%. So you are still limited to that ratio.

If you put steel in the structure, it would have to be pre-fabbed and placed right? Why dont you go with concrete like Jed said, but cast it like a tilt wall to your specified design and dimensions and then place it. Much quicker than casing in place.

I agree BigH, I hate looking at density reports with a quarter of the results with 101-105% compact. Its ridiculous, especially for roadway work where tests are every couple hundred feet (not many tests for the amount of area).

base material is one thing, sub-grade is a diffrent story

Well, I don't like using the same proctor over a given stretch of a roadway covering a mile, even if the material "looks" the same. I just wanted to know if there was any standard to using the same proctor for variable/similar in-sitsu soils any number of times.

Where can I obtain weight transfer dynamic formulas for cornering?

Is there a limit to the amount of field compaction tests for any given proctor?

Hey yall, I've got a project where the roadway has settled where the water mains run perpendicular under the road. I did some research and found that the road has some organics deep in the subgrade, however, a couple years ago the subgrade was injection cemented. The utility pipes are laid with...
