How to Calculate A Compaction Test Report



 How to Calculate A Compaction Test Report 


Here we are going to compute the bulk density of sand down to the degree of compaction of soil.
I would really want to pursue this article just to completely show the full process of getting the results of test from taking the samples into calculations. So every site engineer, project engineer, and consultant inspector, as well as engineering students should know how it is done. This would be a guide and help them learn the procedures.
Here are the steps of calculations to determine the compaction test or In-situ density test report.

1. Compute the Bulk Density of sand.

The calculation of bulk density of sand shall be made in the laboratory before moving on to the site. Here are the values tabulated below.
Values taken from the laboratory
V
0.00785 m³
Volume of calibrating container
M1
17,050 gm
Mass of the sand before pouring in the container
M2
3,425 gm
Mean value of mass of the sand in cone
M3
2,192 gm
Mean value of mass of the sand retained in the pouring cylinder

Then calculate the Ms, mass of sand to fill the container. From the formula in the article linked above.
Ms = 17, 050 – 3, 420 – 2, 192
Therefore, Ms = 11, 438 gm.
Bulk density of sand, ρs = 11, 438 gm/ 0.00785 m³
Therefore, ρs = 1, 457. 07 Kgm/m³.

2. Calculate the Bulk Density of Soil.

After getting all the values from actual compaction test done on site. Let us go directly to the calculations because, what we are really concerned here is “how to get the degree of compaction?” and how it is computed? So if you have with you right now the test report from the third party laboratory, you might try to use the solutions we’ve done here in order for you to know how the test report is computed.
Below are the parameter for the calculation of bulk density of soil which was obtained from the actual compaction test on site. From Item 5 on the excavated soil from the hole shall place into a clean container or plastic container. It will be weighted as mass of the soil excavated (Me).


Values taken on site
Me
10, 345 gm
Mass of the soil excavated
M1
17, 050 gm
Mass of sand before pouring into the hole
M2
3, 425 gm
Mass of sand in cone (mean value)
M4
5, 155 gm
Mass of sand after pouring into the hole (mean value)

Mf = 17, 050 – 3, 425 – 5, 155
Therefore, Mf = 8, 470 gm
Bulk density of soil, ρso = (10, 345 gm /8, 470 gm) x 1. 45 mg/m³ = 1.78 Mg/m³

3. Calculation of Moisture Content.

Below are the laboratory test of the same sample taken from the site.
Wc = 177.5 gm.  – Mass of container in gm.
W1 = 1,045.7 gm. – Mass container and moist specimen in gm.
W2 = 975.6 gm. – Mass of container and oven dried specimen in gm.
Mass of the water
Ww = W1 – W2 = 1, 045.7 – 975.6 = 70.1 gm.
Mass of the Solid particle
Ws = W2 – Wc = 975.6 – 177.5 = 798.1 gm.
Moisture Content
MC = (Ww/Ws) x 100 = (70.1/798.1) x 100
Therefore, MC = 8.78 %

4. Calculate the Dry Density of Soil.

After getting the result of moisture content you can now calculate the ρd from the formula written in
ρd = (100 x 1.78)/(100 + 8.78)
Therefore, ρd = 1. 64 Mg/m³

5. Calculate the Degree of Compaction.

The degree of compaction is the basis and or the final acceptance once it is passed. The specification commonly says “The degree of compaction shall be not less than 95 percent of maximum dry density (MDD).”
Please note that you have to take first a sample soil where you are going to do compaction test and test it for “Proctor test” where you will get the maximum dry density or MDD that will use in the calculation of Degree of Compaction.
The MDD for instance to be used in this calculation is 1.7 Mg/m³, but MDD may vary depending on the type of your soil. Below is the calculation of the degree of compaction.
DOC = (1.64/ 1.7) x 100

Therefore,

Degree of compaction, DOC = 96.5 %
The compaction test is passed and satisfactory because 96.5 percent is higher than the limit of 95 percent. The succeeding activity can now proceed.

APPENDIX A - Machine Cost and Work Records
APPENDIX B - Field Production Studies
APPENDIX C - PACE Data Collection Forms


APPENDIX A - Machine Cost and Work Records

Machine rates, unit costs, and machine utilization, can be compiled on a weekly basis for use in comparison and control. The weekly machine costs, accummulated over a period of time, provide estimates of the hourly machine cost or machine rate for planning and budgeting.
The basis for the weekly report is the daily report (Figure A.1). This report records the hour meter or odometer reading at the end of the day, the amounts of materials supplied to the machine, the number of machine hours worked and any additional hours worked by the operator which are not machine hours. An estimate of the production is made. Either at the end of the day, or weekly, the unit costs of the materials consumed are added to the daily report so that the daily operating costs for the machine are complete.
The daily machine cost and work record is kept for all machines. The weekly report can be compiled individually by machine or collectively for all machines of the same type using a form similar to the Weekly Machine Cost and Work Record (Figure A.2). Figure A. 2 column (25) is the weekly estimate of the machine hourly cost. Column (27) is the weekly unit production cost. Column (29) is the machine utilization for the week.

Divide the total cost by the total production to determine the unit cost of production for the week.
28
Enter the total number of hours the machine was scheduled to operate for the week.
29
Divide the total number hours the machine worked by the number of hours it was scheduled to work and multiply by 100 to calculate the machine utilization in percent.
The weekly cost and work report is a valuable record not only for deriving your own machine rates, but for discussions with the crew and foreman so that they are aware of the costs of machine operation.
An additional column can be added to the form to show the importance of increased machine utilization. This additional column could be called the hourly machine cost at 100% utilization. If labor is a constant cost for the week, the hourly machine rate at 100% utilization is calculated as


APPENDIX B - Field Production Studies

To estimate cycle time coefficients, the observer should study the operation until he is familiar with the elements making up the activity. A flow process chart can then be prepared to describe the elements and define the beginning and ending points of each element. A data collection form is prepared, data collected and coefficients calculated.
The observer gathering the time study data must be able to see the operation he is studying at all times. Often he must constantly move with the equipment in order to record the element times, while simultaneously keeping a safe distance from the operation.
For example, let's design a study form to develop cycle time coefficients for a skidding operation. We would like to estimate the loaded speed, unloaded speed, load size, hook time and unhook time for a rubber-tired skidder. The flow process for the skidding activity would be

Skidder travels to logs
(B) - Skidder leaves landing.
(E) - Skidder arrives at first log pickup point.
Position skidder
(B) - Skidder arrives at first log pickup point.
(E) - Begin pulling winch line from skidder.

(B) - Begin pulling winch line from skidder.
(E) - Winch line arrives at log(s)
Hook Log
(B) - Winch line arrives at log(s)
(E) - Winch line starts in toward skidder.
Lateral Inhaul
(B) - Winch line starts in toward skidder.
(E) - Logs arrive at skidder.
Loaded Return to Landing
(B) - Logs arrive at skidder.
(E) -Skidder arrives at landing.
Unhook and deck logs
(B) - Skidder arrives at landing.
(E) - Skidder leaves landing.

Using the Skidding Cycle Element Time Study Form (Table B.1), we record a sample of cycles for a rubber-tired skidder.

For example, on cycle no. 1 a small rubber-tired skidder leaves the landing and travels 200 meters in 1.5 minutes along the skid trail to the log pickup point. The operator turns and positions the skidder in 0.2 minutes. The helper pulls out the winch line 20 meters in 0.7 minutes. Two logs are hooked in 1.2 minutes, winched to the skid trail in 1.0 minutes. The skidder returns to the landing in 3.0 minutes. The logs are unhooked and pushed into the deck and the skidder is positioned to leave the landing in 1.6 minutes. During cycle no. 3, the logs are picked up at two points during winching. During cycle no. 4, logs are picked up at two points along the skid trail.
Summing the times for each element, our estimates for the skidding coefficients are:
Unloaded Travel Speed = 1350 m/12.8 min = 105 m/min
Loaded Travel Speed = (1325 + 25) m/(18.9 + .3) min = 70 m/min
Lateral Outhaul Speed = 120 m/5.0 min = 24 m/min
Lateral Inhaul Speed = 120 m/6.2 min = 19 m/min
Position Skidder = 1.0 m/5 cycles = 0.20 min/trip
Hook Time = 13.5 min/5 cycles = 2.7 min/trip
Unhook and Deck = 8.7 min/5 cycles = 1.7 min/trip
Average number of logs per trip = 13 logs/5 cycles = 2.6 logs/trip
If the average log size is 0.5 cubic meters per log then the average load per trip is 2.6 logs per trip multiplied by 0.5 cubic meters per log or 1.3 cubic meters per trip.
