Density measurements: Except when otherwise directed, at least one measurement of density shall

be made for each 1000 m2 of compacted area. Test locations shall be chosen only through
predetermined random sampling techniques. Control shall not be based on the result of anyone test
but on the mean value of 5-10 density determinations. The number of tests in one set of
measurements shall be 6 as long as it is felt that sufficient control over borrow material and the
method of compaction was being exercised. But if there be any doubt about this control, or
considerable variations are observed between individual density results, the number of tests in one
set of measurement shall forth with be increased to 10. The acceptance of results shall be subject to
the condition that the mean dry density not less than the specified density plus [1.65 – 1.65/(No. of
samples) 0.5] Times the standard deviation In general, the control at top sub-grade layers of the
formation shall be strict than stated above with density measurements being carried out at the rate
of 1 per 500 m2 of compacted area. Further, for the determination of mean density and standard
deviation the number of tests in one set of measurements shall not be less than 10. Acceptance of
the work shall be subject to the same conditions as stipulated above
