3、ethod covers the procedure for testing both treated and untreated laboratory compacted soils or aggregates withthe stabilometer and expansion pressure devices to obtain results indicative of performance when placed in the base, subbase, orsubgrade of a road subjected to traffic.1.2 UnitsThe values s
4、tated in either SI units or inch-pound units presented in brackets are to be regarded as the separatelyas standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independentlyof the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-c
5、onformance with the standard. However, use of equipmentmanufactured to be readable in inch-pound units only should not be considered as non-conformance to the test method. Manystabilometers and expansion pressure devices are manufactured to be readable in inch-pound units only.1.3 All observed and c
6、alculated values shall conform to the guidelines for significant digits and rounding established in PracticeD6026.1.3.1 For purposes of comparing measured or calculated value(s) with specified limits, the measured or calculated value(s) shallbe rounded to the nearest decimal or significant digits in
7、 the specified limits.1.3.2 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded or calculated, in this standard are regarded as the industrystandard. In addition, they are representative of the significant digits that generally should be retained. The procedures used do notconsider materi
8、al variation, purpose for obtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any considerations for the users objectives;and it is common practice to increase or reduce significant digits of reported data to be commensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scope of this standard to consider s

18、.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is used to measure the potential strength of subgrade, subbase, and base course materials for use in roadand airfield pavements. The R-value is used by some agencies as criteria for acceptance of aggregates for base course andbituminous courses.4.2 The ex
19、pansion pressure testing has been used in conjunction with the R-value test to determine cover requirements(thickness) and construction controls to reduce pavement distortion from expansive subgrade soils.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the
20、 personnel performing it, and the suitability of theequipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objectivetesting/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this test method are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740
21、 does not in itself ensure reliable results.Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5.

Preparation of Soil Specimens7.1 Thoroughly mix four approximately 1200-g 2.7-lb samples of soil with the amount of water estimated to equal one halfto two thirds of the water required to produce saturation as defined in
40、 7.3 and 7.4. Place the samples in covered containers andallow them to stand overnight. Just prior to compaction, mix the samples with the final amount of water required to producesaturation. The first sample is used as a pilot specimen to assist in determining the final amount of water required.7.2
41、 Weigh out enough material to fabricate a compacted sample 101.6 mm (4 in.)4.0 in. in diameter by 63 mm (2.5 in.)2.5in. high. Compacted specimens having heights from 62 to 65 mm (2.452.45 to 2.55 in.)in. are acceptable. Compact the soil intothe mold by means of the kneading compactor as follows: Pla
42、ce the mold in the mold holder which has a rubber disk, 100 mm(3 over the mold holder. 1516 in.) in diameter and 3 mm (18 in.) thick, cemented to the plate. Adjust the mold for approximately3-mm (18-in. ) -in. clearance between the lower edge of the mold and base of the mold holder. A metal angle br
43、acket of 3-mm18-in. thickness and approximately 37.5 mm 112 in. length placed on the base of the mold holder have proven satisfactory.Alternately, tighten the set screw, if available, on the mold holder. Spread the sample along the length of the trough. With thecompactor-foot pressure set at 1720 6
44、170 kPa (250250 6 25 psi),psi, feed 7675 mm (3 in.)3.0 in. of the soil from the troughinto the mold. Redistribute the sample remaining in trough as needed to feed the balance of the soil into the mold in 20 equalincrements with one application of the ram after each increment. Allow 10 additional tam
45、ps to level the soil, then place a rubberdisk on top of the specimen. Remove the shim from under the mold or loosen the set screw. Apply 100 additional tamps with afoot pressure of 2410 kPa (350 psi).350 psi. Stop compacting the soil at any time before 100 tamps if water appears around thebottom of
46、the mold.NOTE 3Use lower compaction pressures when necessary to limit penetration of the ram into the soil to not greater than 6 mm (14 in.).in.7.3 Remove the mold containing the compacted specimen from the compactor. Level the tamped surface by hand tamping witha 38-mm (1.5-in.)1.5-in. diameter rod
47、. Place a phosphor-bronze disk on the tamped surface of the soil and place a 100-mm filterpaper on top of the bronze disk. Invert the mold and place it on the exudation device so that the filter paper is on the bottom. Placethe solid walled, metal specimen follower into the mold. Using the compressi
48、on testing machine, apply a uniformly increasingpressure to the soil at the rate of 8900 N(2000 N 2000 lbf )/min./min. Water should be exuded from the soil at 2070 kPa (300psi)300 psi as evidence that enough moisture is present to produce saturation. Stop the loading and record the exudation pressur
49、eto the nearest 10 kPa (1 psi)1 psi when either five of the six outerindicator lights on the exudation pressureindicator device arelighted or three outerindicator lights are lighted and free water is visible around the bottom of the mold. Do not exceed a exudationpressure of 5520 kPa (800 psi).800 psi.7.4 Mold at least two more specimens with different amounts of moisture so that a range of exudation pressures from 690 to5520 kPa (10010
