Earthwork has to do with the roadway in what way? Earthwork is the excavation and
placement of soils and materials supporting the proposed roadway.
In Earthwork what is a lift? 6" of compacted depth at full width
In Earthwork what is a Lot? A lot is 1 lift at 500 ft or within compacted area. Isolated
compaction operations are separate lots.
Sampling at the roadway is done for Done for base, sub grade, and embankment.
Sampling is determined how generated with random numbers usually by a Verification
Inspector
What is important about sampling at the roadway Minimum of three representative sample
combined.
What is LIMS? Laboratory Info Management System
The proctor theory is when compaction is achieved how by inputting energy to expel air and
water in the soil voids
Compaction causes An increase in unit weight, decrease in compressibility and permeability.
, The proctor is determined where and creates what In a laboratory and establishes a density
standard to be used on the roadway
Lab proctors are created how Material is gathered from the road and prepared with
different amounts of water then placed in molds and hammered
What is a modified proctor used in It is used in base, sub grade, MSE wall back fill materials
Modified proctors are created how With a 10lb hammer(rammer) on a 18" drop with 56
blows per layers with 5 layers in total.
What is a standard proctor used in It is used in embankment and structure back fill materials
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
Comparison between VT and QC density test tolerance 2 lbs/pcf
What is the STRG Sampling, Testing, and Reporting Guide (state wide)
A job guide schedule is project specific
The material identification number for embankment in the laboratory is 004L
The material identification number for embankment in the field is 004F
The material identification number for base is 030
