1. Purpose
The purpose of Mock-up of Trafficability Layer is as followings:
1) Determination of the height of the trafficability layer(for trafficability of 60 ton dump
trailer) and the optimal Roller compaction count through mock-up testing with approved
materials that meet the Requirement by Material Specification And Employer’s
Requirements-Volume 2 as per point 4.3.2 of Section 2 : Roads specifications
2) It is possible to calculate the thickness of the trafficability layer to withstand earthmoving
heavy equipments like dump trailer.

7. Mock-up Test
1) Layout for Construction

The mockup test consists of: Three sections of sandy soil. The three sections of each
material are 0.6m, 0.9m and 1.2m in compacted height and 35m in length.
<Fig. 3> Layout of the Mockup test
2) Sequence for Determination of trafficability layer height and optimal number of roller
counts(Purpose 1)
The following sequence as shown to determine the height of trafficability and the optimal
number of compactions. The sequence below shows the types of tests and location to be
performed in each of the three section. The levels indicated in Fig4 are before compaction.
After the compaction by 13%, i.e, 0.6m, 0.9m and 1.2m.(loose material thickness 0.68m,
1.02m, 1.36m)
- Sequence 1: Pouring materials on each Section
Rev. No. : 0
