IN SITU COMPACTION CONTROL AND ITS STANDARD DEVIATION FACTOR

The majority of acceptance specifications or quality assurance procedures for controlling the compaction of highway embankments, subgrades, subbase courses and base courses involves a determination of densities and the moisture content of soil and aggregate materials during construction. These tests are performed with different measuring technologies, mainly destructive and nondestructive types. This paper studies the ratio between the standard deviation of nuclear gauge readings and that of the sand cone device. It is shown that in order to implement the statistically based Israeli quality control program for nuclear testing, a pre-comparison study of the standard deviation results of nuclear gauge testing with their comparative results from sand cone testing should be carried out for several lots.
