6.3 <strong>Quality</strong> Control Checks by AE/EE<br />
Table 404.3: QUALITY CONTROL TESTS DURING CONSTRUCTION<br />
The quality control checks by AE/EE are indicated in Table 404.4.<br />
B. Do’s and Don’ts<br />
Type of Test Frequency<br />
1. Pulverization of soil clods Atleast 3 tests daily, well spread over the day’s work.<br />
2. Placement Moisture Content (IS:2720 Part 2) -do-<br />
3. Insitu Density measurements (IS:2720 Part 28) -do-<br />
(i) Average of 3 test results shall not be less than the<br />
specified degree of compaction.<br />
(ii) Individual test values of the degree of compaction<br />
attained shall not be less than 1% of the specified<br />
degree of compaction.<br />
4. Thickness of Compacted layer At random<br />
1. Insist on uni<strong>for</strong>mity of mixing of soil with cement by<br />
using tractor–towed implements.<br />
2. Look <strong>for</strong> soft patches, if any, and rectify them by<br />
removing or adding fresh material and compacting<br />
the same thoroughly.<br />
3. It must be ensured that the compaction of cement<br />
stabilized materials is completed within two hours<br />
of its mixing.<br />
4. Lime, if used <strong>for</strong> pretreatment should have a<br />
minimum purity of 70% by weight of CaO.<br />
5. A sample of the field mix should be brought to the<br />
laboratory <strong>for</strong> conducting various tests.<br />

Random Checking AE<br />
Do’s Don’ts<br />
1. Do not allow soil clods larger than 26.5 mm in size be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
mixing of soil with cement.<br />
2. Do not permit any organic or other deleterious material<br />
in the soil.<br />
3. Do not carry out soil-cement stabilization with air<br />
temperature less than 100C. 4. Do not allow any traffic other than mixing equipment to<br />
pass over the spread cement till mixing has been<br />
completed.<br />
5. Do not allow any traffic until the surface is cured <strong>for</strong><br />
7 days.<br />
