DD Form 1210. Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil (Compaction Test)

DD Form 1210 - Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil (Compaction Test) is used to record the results of laboratory compaction tests conducted on soil samples. The form captures essential data for assessing the soil's compaction properties.

The form consists of sections where users can document details about the soil sample, test type, moisture content, dry weight of soil, and number of blows required for compaction. It includes spaces to record the compaction curve, moisture-density relationship, and other relevant information.

Important fields in this form include the moisture content, dry weight of soil, number of blows, and the compaction curve. Accurate data collection and plotting are essential for reliable assessment of soil compaction characteristics.

Application Example: Geotechnical engineers and construction professionals use DD Form 1210 to evaluate the compaction characteristics of soil, ensuring proper compaction for construction projects.

Related Form: DD Form 1211 is related, as it involves the graphical representation of the soil compaction test results.

Alternative Form: ASTM D698 is a standard test method used to determine the laboratory compaction characteristics of soil using the standard proctor compaction test.
