Standard Test Methods for Density of In-Place Soil and Rock Materials by the Water Replacement Method in a Test Pit

Importancia y uso:

5.1 These test methods can be used to determine the in-place density of compacted soil and rock materials in construction of earth embankments, road fills, and structure backfill. For construction control, the test methods can be used as the basis for acceptance of material compacted to a specified density or to a percentage of a maximum density determined by a standard laboratory compaction test method such as determined from Test Methods D698 or D1557, subject to the limitations discussed in 1.4.

5.2 These test methods can be used to determine in-place density of natural soil deposits, aggregates, soil mixtures, or other similar material.

Note 1: The quality of the result produced by these test methods are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing them and the suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of these test methods are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.
