Assessing In-Situ Compaction and Density of Soil and Pavement Layers

Field dry density test is conducted to determine the in-situ dry density of soil, granular layers, and pavement materials after compaction. This test verifies whether the constructed layer has achieved the specified degree of compaction relative to laboratory-determined maximum dry density, which is critical for the stability and longevity of roads and foundations.

Why Field Dry DensityMatters.

Verifies Degree of Compaction

The test confirms whether the field-compacted layer meets the specified percentage of maximum dry density, ensuring adequate strength and stiffness.

Ensures Pavement and Foundation Stability

Proper in-situ density minimizes risks of settlement, rutting, and deformation under traffic or structural loads.

Validates Construction Quality on Site

Field testing helps detect non-uniform compaction or weak spots, enabling timely corrective action before subsequent layers are laid.

Supports Compliance With Specifications

Results demonstrate conformity with IS standards, MoRTH specifications, IRC guidelines, and project requirements, facilitating approvals and audits.
