EVALUATION OF REVISED MANUAL COMPACTION RAMMERS AND LABORATORY COMPACTION PROCEDURES. FINAL REPORT
This report on laboratory compaction tests compares 10lb sliding weight rammers with the 10lb ASTM sleeve rammer, and also compares newly designed 5.5lb and 10lb sliding weight rammers having low mass spring loaded feet with the corresponding ASTM rammers. Five soils were used, ranging from a nonplastic silty sand to a fat clay, in investigating the effects of (a) rate of operation of the rammers; (b) air-drying and curing the soil prior to compaction results; and (c) use of a sector-shaped foot on compaction and CBR results.
