Why is compacting factor test is better than slump test for concrete?

compaction factor test is better than slump test,because compaction factor test should have own compaction wight,so correct value will be find out from compaction factor test.........


How do you test the soil with a soil testing kit?

There are soil test kits that are electronic and measure the soil levels. There are also soil test kits that use the small amounts of your garden soil and mix with the testers ingredients to read the levels.


Why is a relative compaction test greater than 100 percent?

You can have a relative compaction value of greater than 100%. The maximum density test gives you a density that is the maximum value under that particular compactive effort. The modified proctor will give you a higher maximum density than the standard proctor test which has a lower energy input. The modified proctor attempts to model the energy input by larger compaction equipment. However, if you had a large piece of compaction equipment and/or compacted the soil in thin lifts repeatedly you could exceed the maximum density. Typically, if you do not have an unusual circumstance (compacting very thin lifts a large amount of times) the higher than maximum density value is the result of a change in soil type. Do a new max if you are unsure on the soil that you tested in the field.


Compare between sand cone test and nuclear test?

Sand Cone: Dig out the dirt being tested for compaction, weigh it, heat it until absolutely dry, and weigh it again. (Determines the weight of water in the dirt sample. ) Then, using the sand cone device, fill the hole level with sand, using the device gradations to measure the sand volume. Then, using a math formula with the weight measurements and the volume of the sample, calculate the existing dry density of the dirt sample. Half a day later (seems like), go advise the equipement operator as to whether he is getting enough compaction to meet your specs. Nuclear Density Guage: Turn on and calibrate the guage once in the morning. For each test, drive a probe in the dirt to be sampled, position the guage over the hole, then, unlocking the handle, push the radioactive source into the hole, usually at selectable depths. Wait 30 to 60 seconds, and look at the readout, which will tell you wet and dry density of the soil, and usually these days, the percent of compaction of the soil at that location. Tell the operator whether the compaction meets your specs, or not.

Field soil density test?

The in-situ density of the soil is required to control the results of field compaction in earth embankments, Road fill and structural back filling. So, measuring the soil density is essential before building any construction. Three methods are used to determine the density (unit weight) of a soil in the sight; the sand replacement method, the balloon method, and the nuclear method.
