• Abstract:
  The present study was undertaken, and an evaluation program was designed to verify the South Dakota moisture-density curves developed in the SD2014-12 research project. Also, the suitability of the suggested dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) method as the strength-based approach for determining the in-situ compaction quality was evaluated. Based on this approach, SDDOT’s available draft specification language proposed for screening the field compaction applying the DCP test was examined. As a result, the draft specification established the technical criteria based on the outcomes of the field DCP tests required for achieving the desired field compaction.
