In-Situ Density

Many civil engineering projects require the use of in-situ 'fill' material. Whenever soil is placed as an engineering fill it is usually compacted to a dense state to obtain satisfactory engineering properties. Compaction on site is usually effected by mechanical means such as rolling, ramming or vibrating. Control of compaction is necessary to achieve a satisfactory result at a reasonable cost.

Laboratory compaction tests provide the basis for control procedures used on site.
