    Inspection Checklist (Icl) : Civil-Compaction Testing Inspection

    Uploaded by

    asif aziz khan
    This inspection checklist outlines the requirements for compaction testing on a construction project. Key requirements include: 1) performing modified Proctor tests and density tests for each type of fill material; 2) using approved methods like the sand cone or nuclear method for in-place density testing; and 3) achieving at least 95% maximum density under foundations and 85% relative density for cohesionless soils under heavy loads. Field density tests are to be taken at regular intervals and no further filling can occur until the required density is reached.

    PROJECT TITLE Contract No. CONTRACTOR / SUBCONTRACTOR

    ITEM
    ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA PASS FAIL N/A RE-INSP DATE
    No.

    1 Contractor's testing agency shall be a approved civil testing agency.

    One Modified Proctor Test per ASTM D1557 with corresponding Proctor curve shall be performed for each
    2
    type of fill material or where there is a change in the type or the source of material.

    For cohesionless free draining soils, ASTM D4253 Maximum Index Density and Unit Weight of Soils Using
    a Vibratory Table and ASTM D4254 Minimum Index Density and Unit Weight of Soil and Calculation of
    3
    Relative Density shall also be performed for each type of cohesionless, free draining material or where
    there is a change in the type or the source of material..

    In-place density shall be determined using one of the following:


    ASTM D-1556 Sand Cone Method;
    4 ASTM D-2167 Rubber Balloon Method;
    ASTM D-2922 Nuclear Method;
    or ASTM D-2937 Drive-cylinder.

    Acceptance testing of in-place density and moisture content (field density testing) on compacted fill will be
    performed at the following rates:
    1. Under all foundations - one test every 1000 ft² (90 m²) of each lift.
    5 2. Under area paving - one test every 2000 ft² (180 m²) of each lift.
    3. Road base and sub-base - one test every 2000 ft² (180 m²) of base or sub-base.
    4. Backfill of trenches - one test for every 50 linear ft (15 m) of each lift.
    5. General fill - one test every 5000 ft² (460 m²) of each lift.

    As a minimum, at least one in-place density test must be performed on every lift of fill and further
    6
    placement shall not be allowed until the required density has been achieved.

    Nuclear density gauges, when used, shall have a valid calibration certificate per the requirement of ASTM
    7
    D2922, Sec. A1.2.

    Fill or backfill placed beneath footings, grade beams, mats, buildings or process areas shall be compacted
    8
    to at least 95% of the maximum Modified Proctor density as determined by ASTM D1557.

    For cohesionless free draining soils, 70% relative density as determined by ASTM D4253 and ASTM
    9
    D4254 shall be achieved under footings, grade beams, mats, buildings or process areas.

    Under foundations with static loads over 320kPa and foundations for vibrating or heavy machinery and
    10 pavements, 85% of relative density (ASTM D4253/ASTM D4254) for cohesionless soils or 95% of of the
    maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557 for cohesive materials.

    When the backfill material cannot clearly be classified as cohesive or cohesionless both relative density
    11
    and Proctor density tests must be performed. The backfill shall then be compacted to the greater density.

    The compaction requirement for base coarse shall not be less than 100% of the maximum laboratory dry
    12
    density as determined by ASTM D1557 or AASHTO T180..

    The compaction requirement for subbase shall not be less than 95% of the maximum laboratory dry
    13
    density as determined by ASTM D1557 or AASHTO T180..

    All other fill shall be compacted to the density equal to that shown on the drawings or equal to that
    14
    adjacent in-situ material as appropriate.

    15 The depth of the test holes shall be no greater than 300mm (12 inches) deep. (ASTM D 2922, Sec. 1.1)
