ONE objective of a full-scale field compaction study recently undertaken was to eval uate rapid nondestructive tests for measuring properties of compacted soils.
Jan 01, 2002 Fracturing or cutting subsurface compacted soil has, in some cases, resulted in remarkable yield increases. Many Pennsylvania producers suspect they have a subsurface compaction problem, but have no handle on how to measure it. A diagnostic tool to measure the extent and depth of subsurface compaction is a penetrometer, or soil compaction tester.
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a soil compaction profile sensor (SCPS) that could assist in the assessment of the state of compactness of the soil profile in real-time. The device developed in this study consisted of eight cutting elements, designed to

Of the devices tested, two devices based on the measurement of electrical soil properties showed the most promise. However, improvements are required before these devices can be used in practice. This study evaluated currently available, non-nuclear devices as potential replacements for the nuclear gauge for soil compaction control.
Airflow sensors were used to measure soil air permeabil-ity on the go. The pressure required to squeeze a given volume of air into the soil at fixed depth was compared to several soil properties. Experiments showed potential for distinguishing between various soil types, moisture levels, and soil structure/ compaction.
vibratory and static modes. Regardless of the technology, by making the compaction machine a measuring device and insuring compaction requirements are met the first time, the compaction process can be better controlled to improve quality, reduce rework, maximize productivity, and minimize costs (White et al. 2006).
Soil Compaction Testing Services. Alpha Adroit Engineering Ltd provides laboratory and field testing for soil compaction measurement, including also soil compaction testing using nuclear densometer.

Figure 3.13 Compaction of Soil using Hand-tamp. A regression line was plotted as illustrated in Figure 3.13. A power function was selected to reflect the nature of compacting soil. Soil will reach a point where it can no longer be compacted, no matter how much energy is applied. Therefore, the regression line would level off
The aim of this study was field evaluation of nondestructive devices in measuring the density of road layers. Density may be considered as a reliable criterion for evaluating pavement quality and has a high level of importance in that it can ensure the proper performance of pavement at least prior the period of life-time.
measuring devices which monitor the change of soil response due to the application of impact or vibrating force on the soil. All the devices, however, provided a measure of soil densification and they could be used satisfactorily to replace the NDG when they are properly correlated to soil relative compaction.

Modification of Soil-Compaction Measuring Devices for Utility Implementation Proper quality control for soil compaction will reduce failures significantly and help influence government bodies regarding appropriate methods, tools, and procedures for gas utility street cuts. In addition, improved soil-compaction ...
be desirable to add another quantitative measure of soil compaction to the FIA program. Penetrability is a physi-cal property of soils that is frequently used as a measure of the degree of soil compaction. Soil penetrability is a measure of the ease with which a measuring device can be pushed or driven into a soil surface (Bradford 1986).

The device consists of a measuring needle tip, tensometric load cell sensor, optical sensor for depth measuring and electronics evaluation with a microprocessor and battery.
The hand test is the oldest means of measuring soil compaction and requires no special equipment. Simply grab a handful of soil you want to test and squeeze it into a ball. If the soil crumbles apart into many pieces and will not reform when you squeeze it again, then the soil is uncompacted and dry.
