Trial areas are minimum 100 m long, and for half construction width.
Material shall be placed and compacted to the specified depth.
Following Data shall be noted at each site trial.
1. The composition and grading of the material before site trial
2. The composition and grading of the material after compaction.
3. The moisture content at the time of compaction and optimum moisture
content for the specified compaction.
4. The type, size, frequency of vibration and number of passes of the
compaction equipment.
5. The maximum dry density or target density as appropriate measured on a
sample before and at intervals throughout site trial.
6. Density achieved.
