Development of Electromechanical Field Density Gauge for Evaluation of Dry Density of the Compacted Fill

The fabrication of the equipment involves the design/assembly of different parts. Penetration probe with cone is an important part of the equipment whose specifications have been designed considering the maximum resistance of compacted soil. A system has

Wide usage for quality control of soil fills in different areas viz. Roads, Dams, Railways and other applications.  The method also create week spots in the compacted fill affecting the durability of roads. But with the help of developed equipment the field dry density shall be estimated without destructing the compacted soil and this method is faster than the conventional method.

Non-nuclear, Non-destructive, Portable equipment.
