CONSTRUCTION OF AN EARTH FILL IN TRIAL PIT /IN PORTUGUESE/

DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE TRIAL PIT WHICH WAS FILLED WITH A CERTAIN TYPE OF SOIL AND USED TO DETERMINE THE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PAVEMENT COURSES. THIS WAS ACHIEVED BY MEANS OF TESTS ON THE EARTH-FILL AND ON THE PAVEMENT COURSES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED ON IT. THE NATURE OF THE SOIL USED, THE FILLING PROCESS AND THE RESULTS OF A COMPACTION TEST ON THE VARIOUS EARTH-FILL LAYERS ARE DESCRIBED. THE DEVICES EMBEDDED IN THE EARTH-FILL FOR EVALUATING PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ARE DESCRIBED. /TRRL/
