CORE-02 Wall L2 100 490 7850 62.4 � OK

Formula for Core Strength:

[
f_c = \frac{P}{A} × C_f
]
Where:

• (C_f) = Correction factor for height-to-diameter ratio (usually 0.95 for h/d = 2)

� Both cores meet 95% of design strength as per ASTM C42.

6 Reinforcement Density Check

[
\rho = \frac{A_s}{b × d} × 100
]

Where:

• (A_s) = Total area of reinforcement (mm²)

• (b) = Wall width (mm)

• (d) = Wall thickness (mm)

Example:
[
A_s = 8 × 490 = 3920 mm², \quad b = 1000, \quad d = 200
]
[
\rho = \frac{3920}{1000 × 200} × 100 = 1.96%

Equipment Vibratory roller 10 ton Checked � OK

Observation: Subgrade compacted in 2 layers, properly shaped and leveled.

2 Field Density Testing (Compaction Test)

Method: Standard Proctor & Nuclear Density Gauge (ASTM D6938)

Formula for Compaction %:

[
\text{Compaction (%)} = \frac{\text{Field Dry Density}}{\text{Maximum Dry Density}} \times
100
]

Given:

• Maximum Dry Density (MDD) = 2.10 g/cm³

• Field Wet Density (FWD) = 2.05 g/cm³

• Moisture Content (w) = 5%

 Step 1 — Convert Wet Density to Dry Density

[
\text{Dry Density} = \frac{\text{Field Wet Density}}{1 + w}
]

[
\text{Dry Density} = \frac{2.05}{1 + 0.05} = \frac{2.05}{1.05} \approx 1.952 g/cm³
]

Step 2 — Compaction %

[
\text{Compaction (%)} = \frac{1.952}{2.10} \times 100 \approx 92.95% \approx 93%
]

� Result: Meets specification (≥ 95% Standard Proctor) → slightly low, need additional
passes with roller.

3 Thickness Verification

• Subbase Layer Thickness = 200 mm

• Base Layer Thickness = 150 mm

• Measured with survey rod:

• Subbase = 198–202 mm �

• Base = 148–151 mm �

� Thickness within tolerance ±5 mm.

4 Moisture Content Check

Formula:

[
w = \frac{W_{wet} - W_{dry}}{W_{dry}} \times 100
]

• Wet Sample Weight = 2100 g

• Dry Sample Weight = 2000 g

[
w = \frac{2100-2000}{2000} \times 100 = 5%
]

� Within specification (4–6%)

• Thickness Check: Use straightedge / thickness gauge

• Surface Leveling: Check using spirit level and straightedge

• Observation: Plaster thickness uniform, surface smooth �

4 Curing & Protection

• Method: Keep plaster moist for 7 days (internal) / 10 days (external)

• Protection: Prevent impact, rain, or drying cracks

• Observation: Proper curing, no cracks observed �

5 Test & Measurement

Test Specification Result
