AASHTO 217	e	4 series of Standard Proctors Moisture/Density realationships for each earth fill material. Two series incorporating 16% fly ash by dry weight, at delays of 0 and 2 hours. Two series incorporating 13% fly ash by dry weight at compaction delays of 0 to 2 hours. Find compressive strength for both series after 7 days at 38 degrees celsius. Min. 5 test specimens per series.

Perform in place moisture tests using the gas pressure (“Speedy”) method, at a rate of 1 per 600 sq. m as during initial subgrade preparation and thereafter as directed by the engineer.

Code Instruction

a	Normal operation. Minimum frequency for exceptional conditions may be reduced by the Project Engineer on a project basis, written justification shall be made to the City Engineer and placed in the project documents

b	Applicable only when specifications contain those requirements.

c	If, for a given project, no Plastic Index results of ten (10) consecutive tests are closer than 1 Plastic Index to the specifications limit, the specified testing frequency may be reduced by fifty percent (50%). When operating at a reduced testing frequency, should any two (2) consecutive Plastic Index results exceed the test limit results required for reduced testing frequency, testing shall be resumed at the original specified frequency. The original specified testing frequency shall be resumed should any one test result exceed the specification limits. Following a return to the original specified testing frequency, the reduced frequency may be resumed providing the original criteria for reduced frequency are met.

e	Engineer's discretion. Frequency of tests shall be agreed upon by the Field Engineer and the Project Engineer. Frequency will be governed by field conditions. Written documentation of the agreed upon testing frequency shall be included in the project records.

g	For determining moisture content of a material, KT‑43, Moisture Content of Asphalt Mixtures or Mineral Aggregates ‑ Microwave Oven Method, can be used in conjunction with KT‑2, KT‑3, KT‑4, KT‑8, KT‑9, KT‑12, KT‑13, KT‑34, and KT‑48.

h	Initial frequency. Frequency may be reduced on a project basis, by authority of the Project Engineer, upon continued satisfactory and uniform production. Authorization for reductions in testing frequency shall be documented in the project records.

GENERAL NOTES

Note 1: All sampling and testing frequencies listed are minimum. Additional or other tests will be conducted, as required, to control the work.

Note 2: Frequencies are based on two lane roadways. For four or more lane roadway construction, double the frequencies shown per unit length.

Note 3: All aggregate acceptance tests are to be conducted at the point of usage except for Item 15, Stone for Riprap, Wash Checks, and Other Miscellaneous Uses.

Note 4: For a better explanation of metric (SI) units, see section 5.16 of the KDOT Construction Manual SAMPLING AND TEST METHODS FORWARD.

Note 5: All test methods listed as “KT” are Kansas Test methods and may be found in the KDOT Construction Manual Part V.

Note 6: All sampling of materials shall be taken using a random process in accordance with the KDOT Construction Manual, Part V, Section 5.17.06.
