Evaluation of a Mechanical Stiffness Gauge for Compaction Control of Granular Media

Book Description
The use of nuclear methods for compaction control is increasingly problematic for state highway agencies. Regulatory and safety issues have prompted agencies such as the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department to look for non-nuclear alternatives for compaction control. This report describes the evaluation of one such commercially available device known as the GeoGauge. The GeoGauge measures soil stiffness, arguably, a much more viable engineering parameter than the moisture-density relations currently used. The GeoGauge was found to measure soil stiffness as advertised. Results relating moisture, density, and stiffness were found to be consistent with earlier research on compaction and mechanical strength of soils. However, because of the dynamic nature of the measurement obtained via the GeoGauge and associated boundary constraints, the ability to obtain a target value for stiffness in the laboratory has proved to be elusive. Because of the promising nature of the GeoGauge technology, and because it measures a true engineering mechanical property, a paradigm shift may be necessary for implementation for field compaction control. Future specifications for compaction using this technology may require specific controls of moisture and requirements concerning compaction equipment with stiffness monitoring, via the GeoGauge.

Book Description
This report pertains to the evaluation of a non-nuclear means of determining the dry density of soils. The device is called the Humboldt Stiffness Gauge (HSG). The device is essentially a small-scale plate load test and takes approximately 1 minute to conduct. The test parameter from the test is a stiffness value that is averaged over approximately 6 to 12 in. beneath the HSG. A regression equation, determined by the manufacturer, uses the stiffness parameter to determine the dry density of the soil. However, to establish the regression equation, prior knowledge of the soil's moisture content and dry density is needed. Research was conducted both in the laboratory and in the field to evaluate the HSG.

ISBN: 1614996563
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3742
Book Description
The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.
