Compaction Control via In-place Stiffness and Modulus |
|
| The
GeoGauge is an advanced and truly innovative quality control instrument
that enables construction of higher quality and lower cost roadways
and highways. Pavement components can now be compacted to relevant
engineering properties taken directly from design. |
|
| Applications |
 |
Quick
– Onsite compaction Control |
|
Useful
in compaction control in sub grade, sub base, base & asphalt |
|
Strength
gain of lime, cement, fly ash and polymer stabilized materials |
|
Field
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) |
|
Highways,
Air-strips, Rail Embankment, Earthen dams/ Embankments,
Concrete Dams etc. |
|
Compliments
and provides alternative to resilient modulus, Falling Weight
Deflectometer, plate load test, dynamic cone penetrometer
and other measures of strength, stiffness, modulus and deflection. |
