1. Basics covered in Level 1 Nuclear Testing
Speedy Moisture
Report Forms
2. Earthwork has to do with the roadway in Earthwork is the excavation and place-
what way? ment of soils and materials supporting
the proposed roadway.
3. In Earthwork what is a lift? 6" of compacted depth at full width
4. In Earthwork what is a Lot? A lot is 1 lift at 500 ft or within compacted
area. Isolated compaction operations are
separate lots.
5. Sampling at the roadway is done for Done for base, sub grade, and embank-
ment.
6. Sampling is determined how generated with random numbers usually
by a Verification Inspector
7. What is important about sampling at the Minimum of three representative sample
roadway combined.
8. What is LIMS? Laboratory Info Management System
9. The proctor theory is when compaction is by inputting energy to expel air and water
achieved how in the soil voids
10. Compaction causes An increase in unit weight, decrease in
compressibility and permeability.
11. The proctor is determined where and creates In a laboratory and establishes a density
what standard to be used on the roadway

12. Lab proctors are created how Material is gathered from the road and
prepared with different amounts of water
then placed in molds and hammered
13. What is a modified proctor used in It is used in base, sub grade, MSE wall
back fill materials
14. Modified proctors are created how With a 10lb hammer(rammer) on a 18"
drop with 56 blows per layers with 5 lay-
ers in total.
15. What is a standard proctor used in It is used in embankment and structure
back fill materials
16. Standard proctors are created how With a 5.5lb hammer(rammer) on a 12"
drop with 25 blows per layer with 3 layers
in total
17. Comparison between VT and QC density test 2 lbs/pcf
tolerance
18. What is the STRG Sampling, Testing, and Reporting Guide
(state wide)
19. A job guide schedule is project specific
20. The material identification number for em- 004L
bankment in the laboratory is
21. The material identification number for em- 004F
bankment in the field is
22. The material identification number for base 030
is
2/9
