Have you ever been asked by your consultant or your manager this question “Do you know how to do compaction<\/a> test<\/em>?” and “Do you know how to compute compaction test results<\/em>?<\/p>\n

A quality engineer or a civil engineer should know how the results are derived. I will first want to show you the procedure on how to conduct compaction or field density tests on site. By the way, the consultant representative or the quality engineer shall select the area to be tested and shall mark it on the drawing.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to determine the compaction of soil but here I used Sand Replacement Method<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>which we are using on our site. And before blinding works<\/a>, you have to make sure that the inspection request is submitted to the consultant and the compaction test report is passed.<\/p>\n
