Microcomputer Geotechnical Quality Assurance of Compacted Earth Fill Data Package: User's Guide

Abstract

A microcomputer base system for storage, retrieval, and display of geotechnical construction control earthwork data for earth and rock-fill dams is described and detailed instructions for using the system are given with examples from actual projects. The data system is designed for field project quality control and quality assurance monitoring and rapid display of a variety of construction control data and the preparation of reports required by Corps of Engineers (CE) guidance (EM 1110-2-1911, 'Construction Control for Earth and Rock-Fill Dams'). Additional output, including a statistical analysis package, provide the user with complete reporting and evaluation capability. The package provides for easy, interactive data entry and editing designed for minimum training.
