DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering

Overview

This standard is applicable for earthworks, foundations and road construction. The aim of the proctor test is to determine the dry density of a soil, as a function of the water content, after compaction under specified test conditions. The test serves the estimation of the soil density reached at building sites and provides a reference quantity for the evaluation of soil density available in the soil or reached at building sites. Its result indicates at which optimal water content a soil can be easily compacted in order to achieve a certain dry density. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-05-03 AA "Baugrund; Laborversuche (SpA zu CEN/TC 341/WG 6)" ("Laboratory tests on soils (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 341/WG 6)") at DIN.
