6.2 Tests During Construction<br />
The field quality control tests during construction are indicated in Table 401.3.<br />

<strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Assurance</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Rural</strong> <strong>Roads</strong><br />
TABLE 401.2 : QUALITY CONTROL TESTS PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION<br />
Type of Test Frequency<br />
1. Soil Classification as per IS:1498. Average of three tests from each source.<br />
i) Wet Sieve Analysis, except <strong>for</strong> cohesionless soils<br />
ii) Liquid and Plastic Limits<br />
2. Combined Grading and Plasticity tests on materials One test on the combined material <strong>for</strong> 500 m length of<br />
from different sources, mixed in the design road or part thereof.<br />
proportions. This shall be done when materials<br />
from more than one source are combined.<br />
3. Proctor Compaction Test (IS:2720 Part 7). One test on the material from each source or on the<br />
combined material, as the case may be.<br />
4. Wet Aggregate Impact Value Test (IS:5640) where One test from each source identified by the Contractor.<br />
soft/marginal aggregates are used e.g, Laterite,<br />
Kankar, Brick Ballast etc.<br />
5. CBR test (IS:2720 Part 16) on representative sample One test per km length. (average of a set of three<br />
compacted at 100% Proctor dry density. specimens).<br />
Note: Where materials from more than one source are to be combined in the desired proportions, the tests at Sl. Nos. 2, 3 and 5 should be<br />
carried out on the combined material.<br />
TABLE 401.3 : QUALITY CONTROL TESTS DURING CONSTRUCTION<br />
Type of Test Frequency<br />
1. Wet Sieve Analysis (IS:2720 Part 4) on the GSB<br />
material combined in the design proportions from<br />
various sources.<br />
Atleast one test to be carried out daily.<br />
2. Liquid and Plastic Limit tests (IS:2720 Part 5). -do-<br />
3. Placement Moisture Content: Any of the rapid Atleast 3 tests to be carried out daily, well spread over<br />
methods <strong>for</strong> determination of moisture content can the day’s work.<br />
be used. (IS:2720 Part 2)<br />
4. Insitu Density measurements (IS:2720 Part 28). -do-<br />
5. Thickness of Compacted layer At random<br />
6.3 <strong>Quality</strong> Control Checks by AE/EE<br />
The quality control checks by AE/EE are indicated in Table 401.4.
