Seismic Wave Velocity as a Means of In-Place Density Measurement

摘要

The report, containing 36 figures and 7 tables, describes the results of both laboratory and field testing. Field laboratory tests and in-place field tests were made over 18 compacted soil types, some of which were primed, and 4 asphalt base materials located in 18 counties well scattered throughout the State and involving 189 seismic tests and 113 in-place density measurements. Both field laboratory test data and the in-place field test data were plotted in graphs with moisture content as abscissa and seismic velocity and/or maximum dry density as ordinates. (BPR abstract)
