FDT Part 1

The document reports the results of six field density tests by the sand cone method that were conducted at different locations along the Havelian-Thakot Section of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor KKH Phase II project. The tests measured wet density, dry density, moisture content and compaction percentage achieved at each location compared to specified compaction requirements. Based on the results, one test location did not meet the specified 96% compaction percentage threshold.
