This report presents the results of an investigation of the comparison of percent density determinations between dry, 4 in. square sawed samples and 4 in. wet cores measured in both the field and the lab. Recommendations are given concerning the relationship between one sample per test site and more than one, and how to estimate the maximum theoretical specific gravity used as a basis for the percent density. It is concluded that there is comparability between the percent density results from the dry plugs and those from the wet plugs once the latter are properly oven dried. However, because the percent density of the sawed plugs can be determined in the field, use of this method is recommended.
It is obvious that many variables may influence the quality of a surface treatment, but the relative importance of the many variables involved is a ma...
