China Pakistan Economic Corridor KKH Phase II (Havelian-Thakot Section) Section C

This document summarizes the results of 5 field density tests conducted on culvert backfilling along the China Pakistan Economic Corridor KKH Phase II (Havelian-Thakot Section) Section C. The tests were conducted using the sand cone method and measured properties such as wet density, dry density, moisture content and compaction level. Tests 1 and 3 achieved the specified 96% compaction level while Test 2 did not meet the required level at 93.1% compaction.
