About Heavy Compaction Test (IS)

Specification:

Instrument consists one each of compaction mould mild steel 150 mm I.D. x 127.3mm height volume 2250cc. Complete with collar and base plate. Compaction Rammer is 4.89 kgs. in weight x 450 mm controlled fall.

Note :Instead of steel moulds, gunmetal mould are also available

The Heavy Compaction Test (orModified Proctor Test)is specified byIS 2720 (Part VIII)and is used to determine themaximum dry density(MDD) andoptimum moisture content(OMC) for soils used in heavily loaded structures.It uses a 4.9 kg rammer dropped from 450 mm, compacting the soil in 5 layers with 25 blows per layer into a 2250 cc (cc) mold.

Indian Standard (IS) Specification

IS 2720 (Part VIII):This is the specific standard that details the heavy compaction test procedure and equipment requirements in India.

Key Specifications and Parameters

Mould:A steel or gunmetal mould with a diameter of 150 mm, a height of 127.3 mm, and a volume of 2250 cc.
Rammer:A hammer weighing 4.9 kg (or approximately 4.89 kg).
Drop Height:The rammer is dropped from a controlled height of 450 mm.
Layers:The soil is compacted in 5 distinct layers.
Blows per Layer:Each layer is compacted with 25 blows.

Purpose of the Test

Maximum Dry Density (MDD):The highest dry density achievable for the soil at a specific moisture content.
Optimum Moisture Content (OMC):The water content at which the MDD is achieved.
Stability and Strength:The results are crucial for ensuring the stability and strength of soil in projects like highways, railways, and dams.

Comparison to Light Compaction

The heavy compaction test applies significantly more energy than the standard or light compaction test.
This makes it suitable for soils that will experience heavier loads, resulting in a higher maximum dry density and a lower optimum moisture content compared to the standard test.
