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 />
