About Standard Compaction Test (BS Version)

Specification:

The apparatus consists one each of compaction mould steel, 105mm I.D. x 115.5mm height x 1000 cc. volume, complete with collar and base plate. Compaction Rammer is 2.5 kgs. in weight x 300mm controlled fall. Face of the rammer is 50mm

Equipment Specifications

Mould: A cylindrical metal mould with a 100 mm internal diameter and 127.3 mm height, providing a volume of 1000 cm. A collar and a detachable base plate are also included.
Rammer: A 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs) metal rammer with a guide sleeve and vent holes for controlled operation and uniform energy.
Blow Count: The rammer is designed to deliver a controlled drop of 310 mm.
Blows per Layer: Each layer is compacted with 25 blows.

Procedure Summary

1. Prepare the Soil:

The soil sample is passed through a 20 mm sieve and mixed with a controlled amount of water.
2. Layering:

The soil is placed into the mould in three equal layers.
3. Compaction:

The rammer is dropped from the specified height (310 mm) to compact each layer.
4. Drying:

After compaction, the mould is cleaned and weighed to determine the mass of the compacted soil. A separate sample is dried in an oven to determine the moisture content.
5. Calculations:

The dry density and moisture content are calculated for each trial to develop the dry density versus moisture content curve.

Purpose

The standard compaction test establishes the relationship between the moisture content and the dry density of a soil, determining its maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. This information is crucial for achieving the required density and strength of compacted soil in civil engineering projects like dams, embankments, and highways.
