Abstract:The selection of soils for construction of engineering structures is done on the basic of set number of criteria. In road construction, the criteria used are the value of the CBR index at 4 days imbibition. For earth dams and road embankments where materials should be compacted at their maximum dry density, we will adopt the criterion: the compaction characteristics at its optimum modified proctor. The determination of these criteria are very time consuming and can generate several delays which is inconsistent… Show more
