Compaction test log
Readings logThe percentage reported at each location, with the reference beside it.
Location by location, lift by lift
Compaction is only meaningful with the location and the lift attached to it. Each test location is set up once and then carries its own history of readings.
No acceptance percentage is ours
Ninety-five percent of what, by which method, on which layer, is a specification question and a geotechnical one. Nothing here supplies a figure or judges a result against one.
Around it
What was delivered and placed is the material delivery log. Findings that need chasing belong on the nonconformance log.
A record of compaction figures somebody reported. It supplies no acceptance percentage and issues no pass or fail. Any range shown is one you typed. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Does it know what percentage I need?
- No. This product supplies no acceptance percentage. The figure that applies to your fill comes from your specification and from the geotechnical engineer, and it differs by material, by layer and by what is going on top.
- Can I set my own figure?
- Yes. Type your own range and results outside it are flagged — labeled as outside YOUR range, every time it is shown, because it is yours and not ours.
- Where do the proctor reference and dry density go?
- In the header and in the location's own setup, so every reading on the sheet is read against the reference it was taken against. Both are figures you were given.
- Is this the test report?
- No. The testing laboratory's report is the record. This is your own log of the figures it reported, kept by location so the fill can be traced later.
