    Created by Jeremy Arreguin This is a simple spreadsheet that puts together the ideas of tracking base that is put down on a roadway. (Download it as an ODS spreadsheet, although .xls may work) The geometry of the base is often given in the plans. In this case, a roadway widening of 4 feet with a 1/2 foot taper at 2H:1V each side. The proctor test results of the base, from the lab, provides the maximum dry density @ an optimum moisture content. In the field, the contractor attempts to apply enough compactive effort by rolling the base to bring up the density to meet a percentage of the proctor. It helps the contractor to have an idea of where their moisture needs to be in order to get that maximum compactive effort. In this project they had to meet 100% compaction, so, at least 132 LB / CF. It's not uncommon to also hear jobs specify 95% of standard proctor, or 92% of modified proctor, etc. In this roadway base, for us it is 100% on this project and this minimum is being achieved from the nuclear density field tests. Yes it is possible to achieve greater than 100% compaction. Reason: A standard compactive effort is applied in running a proctor (hammer weight X drop is the energy being applied). So, if more compactive effort is placed than what was achieved based on standard ASTM tests, then you get better compaction then what was had in the lab. Often belly dump haul trucks bring in the base and this is often delivered based on (TONS). But ,base is often to be paid for in (CY). So, the density (weight / vol) and moisture relationships between the proctor and the geometry of the roadway base being added can be used to resolve to approximately what is actually needed, based simply on theoretical test results and on specified plan geometry. Therefore this spreadsheet uses the proctor and an estimated moisture content of the delivered base to determine if enough base is being put down. There is more base put down than what is shown, because it really is impossible to cut down subgrade exactly and compact unconfined edges perfectly and achieved minimum required thicknesses. This spreadsheet gives a very good idea of where things stand when tracking base in a large road construction project.
