16、 of evaluating some of those factors.5. Apparatus5.1 Moisture-Density Apparatus, conforming to the require-ments prescribed in Test Methods D698.5.2 Soil PenetrometerA soil penetrometer (see Fig. 1)consisting of a special spring dynamometer with pressure-indicating scale on the stem of the handle. T

17、he pressure scaleshall be graduated to 90 lbf in 2-lbf divisions with a lineencircling the stem at each 10-lbf interval, or graduated to 400N in 8.9 N divisions with a line encircling the stem at each 49N interval. A sliding ring on the stem shall indicate themaximum pressure obtained in the test.5.

18、3 Set of Standard Penetrometer NeedlesEach penetrom-eter needle (see Fig. 1) shall consist of a shank with a head ofknown end area. The set of interchangeable needles shallinclude the sizes given in Table 1. The needle shank shall havegraduations inscribed at intervals of12 in. (10 mm) to indicateth

19、e depth of penetration, and shall have a length of not less than4 in. (100 mm), excluding the threaded portion. Needles shouldnot be used when they have been worn so as to reduce theflat-end nominal area by 5 %. Needles that have been bent orotherwise damaged should not be used. Needles of otherdiam

20、eters/areas may be used.5.4 Balance or ScaleAdirect reading platform balance (orscale) having a minimum capacity of least 90 lb (400 N) andmeeting the requirements of Specification D4753 with areadability of 60.10 lb (49 mN) for use in calibrating thepenetrometer.6. Sample6.1 Prepare the sample in a

21、ccordance with either Method Aor B of Test Methods D698 or D1557. After preparation, thefraction passing the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve shall have at least20 % passing the No. 200 (75-m) sieve.7. Calibration7.1 The penetrometer may be calibrated by measuring theload applied by means of a platform scale.

22、Apply loadingmanually using the needle directly on the scale so that thespring compresses at a rate of approximately12 in. (10 mm) persecond to13 of the full range of the penetrometer scale. Readthe loading on the platform scale. Repeat the test at23 and thefull range of the penetrometer scale. The

23、difference, if any,between the penetrometer and the scale or balance should notexceed 2 lbf (8.89 N). For ease in calibration, it is recom-mended that the 1-in.2(64.5-mm2) needle be used.7.2 The penetrometer should be cleaned, lubricated, andcalibrated on a regular basis. The penetrometer should bes

24、tored in a clean location or case, with no compression on thespring.8. Procedure8.1 Compact the soil in the moisture-density mold in accor-dance with the procedure described in Method A or B of TestMethods D698 or D1557.8.2 Determine the resistance of the soil to penetration by useof the soil penetr

25、ometer with attached needle of known endarea. The needle used shall be of such size that the readingsobtained will be between 20 and 80 on the decimal scale or 10and 40 on the metric scale. Place the mold containing the soilspecimen on a smooth space between the feet of the operator.The operator sha

26、ll hold the penetrometer in a vertical positionand shall control the rate of penetration by steadying the armsagainst the front of the legs at the same time applying pressureto the penetrometer handle (Note 3). Penetrate the soil speci-men at the rate of 0.5 in. (13 mm)/s for a distance of not lesst

27、han 3 in. (76 mm). Place the penetration needle away from theedge of the mold (approximately four times the needle diam-eter), near the center, and space the individual penetrations soas not to interfere with one another. Penetrate the soil specimennot less than three times and use the average of th

28、e readings.NOTE 3With some large penetrometers, it is difficult to use the devicein the manner discussed in 8.2. Therefore, the operator should hold thepenetrometer in a comfortable vertical position that yields a steady rate ofpressure application.8.3 Determine the penetration resistance on each mo

29、ldedsoil specimen as described in 8.2.NOTE 4It is common to run the penetration resistance tests on theprepared and compacted specimens during the performance of TestMethods D698 and D1557. When performed in this manner, the moisturevalues may be used for both Test Methods D698 or D1557 and thisstan

30、dard.FIG. 1 Soil PenetrometerD1558 1029. Calculation9.1 Multiply the average penetrometer reading, as deter-mined in 8.2, by the reciprocal of the end area of thepenetration needle and record the resulting value as thepenetration resistance of the soil expressed in pounds-force persquare inch or kil

31、opascals. Calculate the moisture content ofthe soil in accordance with Test Method D2216.10. Moisture-Penetration Resistance Relationship10.1 Plot the penetration-resistance values and the corre-sponding moisture contents (as calculated in accordance withSection 9) on the same graph sheet with the c

32、orrespondingmoisture-density relations data (as provided in Test MethodsD698 and D1557). Plot the moisture-penetration resistancedata immediately above the moisture-density data, using thesame moisture content scale for both sets of data. Themoisture-penetration resistance relationship curve shall b

33、eestablished by not less than three determinations.11. Report: Test Data Sheets11.1 Record as a minimum, the following general informa-tion (data):11.1.1 Sample identifying information including ProjectNumber or name, sample number,11.1.2 Sample source coordinates and elevation, includingthe coordin

34、ate system and units used,11.1.3 Specimen water content reported to four significantplaces for each molded soil specimen,11.1.4 Diameter of needle(s) used,11.1.5 Penetration resistance on each molded soil specimen,11.1.6 Plot of the penetration resistance versus the moisturecontent. (Note: This may

35、be shown on the same graph as thespecimen points in Test Methods D698 or D1557.)12. Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionTest data on precision is not presented dueto the nature of the soils tested by this test method. It is eithernot feasible or too costly at this time to have ten or morelaboratories pa

36、rticipate in a round-robin testing program, or toproduce multiple specimens that have uniform physical prop-erties. Any variation observed in the data is just as likely to bedue to specimen variation as to operator or laboratory testingvariation. An estimate of the precision of this test method hasb

37、een determined based on a limited amount of data. This datawas derived from a round robin study of four laboratories usingan ML soil using Test Methods D698 with an average penetra-tion resistance of 1440 psi. Single operator standard deviationsof 78, with an acceptable range of 219 for two results,

38、 andmultilaboratory standard deviations of 566, with an acceptablerange of 1586 were determined in accordance with PracticeC670 and calculated in accordance with Practice E691.12.2 Subcommittee D18.08 is seeking pertinent data fromusers of this test method on precision.12.3 BiasThere is no accepted

39、reference value for this testmethod, therefore bias cannot be determined.13.
