SOIL COMPACTION AND COMPACTION CONTROL IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION /IN SWEDISH/

THE CAUSE OF THE UNEVENNESS OF SWEDISH ROADS IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE INADEQUATE COMPACTION OF THE PAVEMENT LAYERS. IT HAS THEREFORE BEEN CONSIDERED NECESARY TO TIGHTEN THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR SOIL COMPACTION IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION. A SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED OF THE STANDARDS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOIL COMPACTION, WHICH FORM PART OF THE ROAD ADMINISTRATION CONSTRUCTION DIRECTIONS OF 1963. THE SURVEY ALSO INCLUDED A STUDY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF DIFFERENT LABORATORY AND FIELD METHODS FOR DETERMINING COMPACTION PROPERTIES, AND COMPACTION CONDITIONS FOR SOIL AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. /RRL/
