Sorry, I've posted this in several different forums hoping for an answer.
I know it's not advised, but for reasons beyond my personal control, I'm trying to evaluate for density material beneath a roadway without removing the asphalt and stone base in mass. The road way is open and the client...
I know it's not advised, but for reasons beyond my personal control, I'm trying to evaluate for density material beneath a roadway without removing the asphalt and stone base in mass. The road way is open and the client is trying to get it accepted into the DOT system.

ASTM STP 99 (I think) is the standard for the DCP and gives you the two graphs and data you need to make the correlation.

Are you talking about cement stablizing the soil subbase or the stone subbase? I've heard subbase applied to both asphalt and stone.
B/c you say "base course" I'm inclined to think you mean asphalt.
I wouldn't recommend replacing your base course of asphalt with cement treated aggregate...
I tend to agree that moisture content is not necessarily an issue as long as the compaction requirement is met, with the caveat that you need to verify that the geotech has the right proctor for the in-place soils. We don't have "loess" soils in Richmond, Virginia (and researching it a little...
jwhitesel: I agree with BigH. The BI is pretty far over the line here. A letter needs to be sent to the County/City whatever stating your case (i.e., an ITL inspected the footing and approved it) and that if the footing is removed and everything is as indicated by the ITL, then the city...

Originally, the field technician would write a field report on carbonless copies while in the field. One copy would go to the contractor on site. The process then went:
-technician turns in field report to secretary
-secretary types it and gives it to the project engineer
-project...
Boffintech: We use a Word based program now, but it's just too inefficient given the number of technicians generating reports every day. We have a secretary type them and save them to a "To Be Reviewed" file, then I review them and make corrections, then save them to the appropriate job file...
This question is in regard to field testing performed for Special Inspections, Construction Materials Testing, etc.
Does anyone know of a program that can be purchased that can be used to generate reports that can be mailed/emailed/faxed to clients with the details of the site visit. The...
