1、Designation:D508020Standard Test Method forRapid Determination of Percent Compaction1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5080;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in pare
2、ntheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method describes the procedure for rapidlydetermining the percent compaction and the variation fromoptimum water content of an in-place soil f

4、lace density test.For the remainder of this designation,this test method will bereferred to as the rapid method.1.2 This test method is normally performed for soils con-taining more than 15%fines(minus 75-m(No.200)sievesize).1.3 When gravel-size particles are present in the soil beingtested,this tes
5、t method is limited to a comparison of the minus4.75-mm(No.4)sieve-size fraction of the in-place densitymaterial to a laboratory compaction test of minus 4.75-mm(No.4)sieve-size material(Method A of Test Methods D698).Subject to the limitations of Practice D4718/D4718M,this testmethod is also applic
6、able to comparisons of other sieve-sizefractions(for example,Method C of Test Methods D698)orother compactive efforts(for example,Test Methods D1557)ifnew water content adjustment values are determined(see 6.1and Appendix X2).1.4 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.Repor
7、ting of test results in units other than SI shallnot be regarded as nonconformance with this standard.1.4.1 The use of balances or scales recording pounds ofmass(lbm),or the recording of density in pounds of mass percubic foot(lbm/ft3)should not be regarded as nonconformancewith this test method.1.4
8、.2 The sieve designations are identified using the“stan-dard”system in accordance with Specification E11,such as25-mm and 75-m,followed by the“alternative”system of1-in.and No.200,respectively,in parentheses.1.5 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits
