COMPACTION
When compaction of soil in the field is done using rolling machines. It is important to know O.M.C. and M.D.D. values. Standard compaction test is used to determine is Laboratory Optimum Moisture Contents (O.M.S.) and Maximum Dry Density (M.D.D) for soils, which represents field samples. Compacted soils have increasing use in embankment of dams, highways, railways etc. In recent years in order to meet current heavy traffic on runways and highways. Heavy duty field compacting equipment has come into use and in view of reproducing greater densities, heavy compaction tests using heavy compaction apparatus have been developed.
The apparatus consists one each of Compaction Mould Gun Metal,
100mm I.D. x 127.3mm height x 1000 c. volume, complete with collar and base plate.
Rammer 2.6kg x 310 mm controlled fall.
