Granular materials
Backfill for use around culverts and pipes consists of
Alignment of the pipe
An inspector looks through one end of a drainage pipe. He is most
likely checking
Larger trench widths mean more backfill material, which increases costs.
An important consideration in excavation for drainage is the trench
width. Why is it important to keep the trench width to that which is
called for by the specifications, and not larger?
Obtain a small part of a lot to represent the whole.
The main purpose of sampling any material is?
