Description: Southeast Region personnel of the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) have proposed a simplified method for estimating percent compaction of soil, aggregate, and asphalt concrete materials during construction. The objective of this report is to identify the basic operating characteristics and limitations of the method. The report also addresses the potential for improving, i.e., optimizing the method so that it might consistently provide maximum density values closely matching those determined by standard DOT&PF methods.
