Proctor (Engineering News RecordSeptember 7, 1933) with this onemajor exception: his rammer blows

5、were applied as “12 inch firm strokes” instead of free fall, producing variable compactive effort depending on theoperator, but probably in the range 15 000 to 25 000 ft-lbf/ft3(700 to 1200 kN-m/m3).

23、. The values stated in SI units are provided for informationonly, except for units of mass. The units for mass are given in SI units only, g or kg.1.7.1 It is common practice in the engineering profession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unit of mass (lbm) anda force (lbf). This implic

24、itly combines two separate systems of units; that is, the absolute system and the gravitational system. Itis scientifically undesirable to combine the use of two separate sets of inch-pound units within a single standard. This standard hasbeen written using the gravitational system of units when dea

25、ling with the inch-pound system. In this system, the pound (lbf)represents a unit of force (weight). However, the use of balances or scales recording pounds of mass (lbm) or the recording ofdensity in lbm/ft3shall not be regarded as a nonconformance with this standard.1.8 This standard does not purp

39、ater content is placed in three layers into a mold of given dimensions, with each layercompacted by 25 or 56 blows of a 5.50-lbf (24.47-N) rammer dropped from a distance of 12.00 in. (304.8 mm), subjecting thesoil to a total compactive effort of about 12 400 ft-lbf/ft3(600 kN-m/m3). The resulting dr

40、y unit weight is determined. Theprocedure is repeated for a sufficient number of molding water contents to establish a relationship between the dry unit weight andthe molding water content for the soil. This data, when plotted, represents a curvilinear relationship known as the compactioncurve. The

41、values of optimum water content and standard maximum dry unit weight are determined from the compaction curve.5. Significance and Use5.1 Soil placed as engineering fill (embankments, foundation pads, road bases) is compacted to a dense state to obtainsatisfactory engineering properties such as, shea

42、r strength, compressibility, or permeability. In addition, foundation soils are oftencompacted to improve their engineering properties. Laboratory compaction tests provide the basis for determining the percentcompaction and molding water content needed to achieve the required engineering properties,

43、 and for controlling construction toassure that the required compaction and water contents are achieved.5.2 During design of an engineered fill, shear, consolidation, permeability, or other tests require preparation of test specimensby compacting at some molding water content to some unit weight. It

44、 is common practice to first determine the optimum watercontent (wopt) and maximum dry unit weight (gd,max) by means of a compaction test. Test specimens are compacted at a selectedmolding water content (w), either wet or dry of optimum (wopt) or at optimum (wopt), and at a selected dry unit weight

45、related toa percentage of maximum dry unit weight (gd,max). The selection of molding water content (w), either wet or dry of optimum (wopt)or at optimum (wopt) and the dry unit weight (gd,max) may be based on past experience, or a range of values may be investigatedto determine the necessary percent

46、 of compaction.5.3 Experience indicates that the methods outlined in 5.2 or the construction control aspects discussed in 5.1 are extremelydifficult to implement or yield erroneous results when dealing with certain soils. 5.3.1-5.3.3 describe typical problem soils, theproblems encountered when deali

47、ng with such soils and possible solutions for these problems.5.3.1 Oversize FractionSoils containing more than 30 % oversize fraction (material retained on the34-in. (19-mm) sieve) area problem. For such soils, there is no ASTM test method to control their compaction and very few laboratories are eq

48、uipped todetermine the laboratory maximum unit weight (density) of such soils (USDI Bureau of Reclamation, Denver, CO and U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers, Vicksburg, MS).Although Test Methods D4914 and D5030 determine the “field” dry unit weight of such soils,they are difficult and expensive to perform.

49、5.3.1.1 One method to design and control the compaction of such soils is to use a test fill to determine the required degree ofcompaction and the method to obtain that compaction, followed by use of a method specification to control the compaction.Components of a method specification typically contain the type and size of compaction equipment to be used, the lift thickness,acceptable range in molding water content, and the number of passes.NOTE 3Success in executing the compaction control of an earthwork project, especially when a metho
