METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING PACKING PROPERTIES OF SOIL MASSES AND OTHER SIMILAR MASSES

摘要

Subject of the invention is a method to measure properties of compaction of masses of the soil and other masses of the kind. A mass specimen in a cylinder is pressed with standard pressure between an upper platen and a lower platen and the height of the specimen is measured in this method. Subject of the invention is also a device to measure properties of the compaction of masses of the soil and other masses of the kind. Characteristic to the method according to the invention is the fact that the mass and the compaction occurs. Characteristic to the device according to the invention is the fact that there is a specimen cylinder (2) attached to the frame (1) to be rotated mainly with respect to its centre axle.
