Analysis of Field Compaction Data. Report 1. Perry Dam, Delaware River, Kansas.
Abstract
This report is a review of the materials, specifications, procedures, equipment, and testing pertinent to the construction and compaction control of the earth-fill embankment of Perry Dam, Delaware River, Kansas, constructed by the U. S. Army Engineer District, Kansas City, Missouri. This report presents the results of analyses of the compaction control data reported by the district to the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Statistical analyses are presented on the variation of fill water content from laboratory optimum water content and the variation of fill dry density from laboratory maximum dry density, based on results of field density sampling in each major zone of the embankment. The overall compaction control achieved for each major embankment zone is indicated by frequency histograms, cumulative frequency distributions, and various applicable statistical parameters for variation of both water content and density. Additionally, single and multiple correlations between maximum dry density, optimum water content, and Atterberg limits were established for the purpose of simplifying and improving correlation of field and laboratory compaction data.
