Summary of Test Method4.1 The test apparatus is placed on the material to be testedeither in a mold or on naturally occurring or compacted soil int

19、he field. The hammer is raised to a set height and allowed tofree fall. The instrumentation of the test apparatus displays avalue in tens of gravities (g) of the peak deceleration of thehammers impact as recorded by an accelerometer fitted to thetop of the hammer body. A total of four blows of the h

20、ammerare applied on the same spot to determine the IV for each testperformed.4.2 A light hammer of 0.5 kg (1.1 lbm) may be used forsofter conditions or fragile materials instead of the 4.5 kg (10lbm) standard hammer to determine the IV. When used theresulting value is termed the Light Impact Value (

21、IV/L).5. Significance and Use5.1 Impact Value, as determined using the standard 4.5 kg(10 lbm) hammer, has direct application to design and con-struction of pavements and a general application to earthworkscompaction control and evaluation of strength characteristicsof a wide range of materials, suc

22、h as soils, soil aggregates,stabilized soil and recreational turf. Impact Value is one of theproperties used to evaluate the strength of a layer of soil up toabout 150 mm (6 in.) in thickness and by inference to indicatethe compaction condition of this layer. Impact Value reflectsand responds to cha

23、nges in physical characteristics that influ-ence strength. It is a dynamic force penetration property andmay be used to set a strength parameter.5.2 This test method provides immediate results in terms ofIV and may be used for the process control of pavement orearthfill activities where the avoidanc

24、e of delays is importantand where there is a need to determine variability whenstatistically based quality assurance procedures are being used.5.3 This test method does not provide results directly as apercentage of compaction but rather as a strength index valuefrom which compaction may be inferred

25、 for the particularmoisture conditions. From observations, strength either re-mains constant along the dry side of the compaction curve orelse reaches a peak and declines rapidly with increase in watercontent slightly dry of optimum water content. This is gener-ally between 95 and 98 % maximum dry d

26、ensity (see Fig. 1 andFig. 2).Afield target strength in terms of IV may be designatedfrom laboratory testing or field trials for a desired density andwater content. If testing is performed after compaction whenconditions are such that the water content has changed from thecritical value, determinati

27、on of the actual water content bylaboratory testing enables the field density to be inferred fromregression equations using IV, density and water content.NOTE 2Impact Value may be used as a means to improve thecompaction process by giving instant feedback on roller efficiency,uniformity, confirming

28、the achievement of the target strength, and byinference the achieved density. When inferring density from IV, however,it should be considered as only indicative of density. Where strictacceptance on a density ratio basis is required, test methods that measuredensity directly shall be used.5.4 This t

29、est method may be used to monitor strengthchanges during a compaction process or over time due toseasonal, environmental or traffic changes.NOTE 3For in-place soil strength evaluation where there may be a dryand hard surface layer (crust), testing both the crust and the underlyinglayer may be requir

30、ed.5.5 The standard instrument is based on a 4.54 kg (10 lbm)compaction hammer using a 457.2 mm (18 in.) drop height.The hammer has been equipped with an accelerometer andinstrumented using a peak hold electronic circuit to read thepeak deceleration on impact. The circuitry is filtered electroni-cal

31、ly to remove unwanted frequencies and the peak decelera-tion is displayed in units of ten gravities (g) with the outputbelow units of ten gravities truncated.5.6 The peak deceleration on which IV is derived representsthe area under the deceleration versus time curve which formost soils may be assume

32、d as half a sinusoid. Applying doubleintegration provides first the time velocity relationship andsecond, the time penetration relationship. As force is alsodirectly related to deceleration, the IV therefore, representsFIG. 1 Illustration of Target IV for Material With No Peak but DropD 5874 02 (200

33、7)2both stress and penetration and may be taken as a directmeasurement of stiffness or strength (see Fig. 3).5.7 Impact Value may be correlated with an unsoaked CBR.5.8 Impact Value may be expressed as a hammer modulus,analogous with elastic modulus or deformation modulus.5.9 The light hammer uses t

34、he same accelerometer andinstrumentation as the standard hammer. The smaller mass of0.5 kg (1.1 lbm) results in more sensitivity for lower strengthmaterials compared to the standard mass; that is, the zero to100 IV scale is expanded with this lighter hammer mass andprovides more definition on softer

35、 materials. To avoid confu-sion, the IV of the light hammer is notated as IV/L.5.10 Light Impact Value has applications for recreation turfhardness evaluation, where the condition of the surface affectsball bounce characteristics, the performance or injury potentialto participants, and where more se

36、nsitivity compared to thestandard hammer is required or an imprint left by the 4.5 kg (10lbm) hammer or other test methods is undesirable, such as ona golf putting green.NOTE 4The agency performing this test method can be evaluated inaccordance with Practice D 3740. Not withstanding oil precision an

37、d biascontained in this test method, the precision of this test method isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective te

38、sting. Users of this test method are cautioned thatcompliance with Practice D 3740 does not assure reliable testing. Reliabletesting depends on many factors, and Practice D 3740 provides a means ofevaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Impact Soil TesterA test apparatus consisting of ahamm

If this operational check procedure givessignificantly different values than shown on the ring, examinethe d

44、ryness, cleanliness, smoothness and firmness of thesupport for the ring and the ring itself and review theoperational check procedure and rerun the check at the same oranother location. If the ring value is not satisfactorily achiev-able, an electronic check may be carried out according to themanufa

46、000 g).NOTE 7The impact energy provided by the 4.5 kg hammer can causeundesired damage to surfaces and materials such as brick or concretepaving slabs or smoothly prepared turf surfaces.7.2 Determine an IV as follows.7.2.1 The peak deceleration that is the highest of the foursuccessive blows is take

47、n as the IV. The maximum of the firstfour blows has been found through experiment and practice tobe the simplest means by which to obtain consistent results.Analysis of the blow count has shown that the first blow or twomay be considered as seating procedure as they create acompacted wedge or hemisp

48、here of soil that is subsequentlyforced into the body of the soil causing an increase indeceleration, that is, an increase in IV, as successive blows areapplied. In general, deceleration remains practically unchangedafter the third or fourth blow with additional blows continuingto produce a constant

49、 amount of penetration. If lower valuesoccur with subsequent blows, this is due apparently to thehammer striking the sides of the indentation or by loosematerial falling onto the strike surface causing a bias in thisdirection.7.2.2 Impact Values obtained from other blow counts, or anaverage thereof, shall be reported accordingly in the report.7.3 Field Procedure AIf necessary, prepare the surface ofthe compacted or natural soil to be tested by lightly scuffingwith the foot to remove loose surface material. Before begin-ning a test, ensure that the hammer strike f
