I am wondering if anyone has experience with using a specification for earthworks based on achieving a minimum air voids percentage?
My theory being that:
1. material placed dry of standard optimum moisture may have satisfactory performance when you proof roll - but will deteriorate over time...
Does anyone know where I can find the following article?
Hilf, J. W. (1956), An Investigation of Pore Water Pressures in Compacted Cohesive Soils, Technical
Memorandum 654, U. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Denver, Colorado
