It is an excellent tool for identifying construction anomalies that would otherwise go undetected during construction where only density or per- cent compaction measurements were used. By measuring stiffness, the GeoGauge can reveal and thus help reduce variabilities in layer prop- erties, which density measurements may miss, thus allowing corrective actions to be taken during construction to ensure that the highest quality base and subgrade are achieved despite varia- tions in materials used. The GeoGauge is the perfect companion instru- ment for density measuring devices such as nuclear gauges and the electrical density gauge. Density measuring devices can be used to ensure that proper compaction is achieved and the GeoGauge can be used to verify that the stiffness/ modulus values assumed in the design specifica- tions of new or rehabilitated pavement structures are met. Compacting and monitoring pavement layers directly to design requirements of structural layer stiffness or material modulus in addition to percent compaction during the construction pro- cess establishes the means to effectively control structural uniformity, strength and deflection, as well as enabling the monitoring and control of the construction quality of various materials. This leads to better smoothness and longer lasting pavement surfaces at lower cost. The GeoGauge works by applying a vibrating force at 25 specific frequencies, which produce small deflections in the material. The resulting displacement is measured by the GeoGauge and displayed as stiffness determined by the ratio of the force to deflection. The GeoGauge produces stress and strain levels common for pavement, bedding and foundation applications. In addition, Young’s and shear modulus can be determined from GeoGauge measurements if a Poisson’s ratio is assumed. This dynamic technology used by the GeoGauge simulates real in-use conditions. This factor allows the GeoGauge to directly measure in-place engineering properties during the con- struction process. The GeoGauge supports and directly links the in-place engineering properties of compacted materials with Mechanistic-Empir- ical Design for effective QC/QA. Successful control of compaction creates a quality functional struc- ture with the desired engineering properties for the application and life intended. Applications include subgrade, sub-base, base, monitoring the strength gain of lime, cement, fly- ash and polymer stabilized materials, monitoring the re-compaction of underground utility back- fills to previous properties matching surrounding undisturbed materials, monitoring the compac- tion of asphalt and cold in-place recycling to peak properties to prevent wasted effort and damag- ing over-compaction.

DMDCPs are primarily used to determine in-place soil shear strength in road construction with CBR values from less than 0.5 to 100% and bearing values ranging from 430 to 10,800 psf. They can readily be used for depths from 30 inches to 6 foot with optional drive rods and extensions. All Humboldt DMDCPs comply with ASTM D6951 specifi- cations and come with a chart in the manual to compute CBR values, as well as a internet link to a Excel spreadsheet template, which automatically charts the test results. Humboldt’s DMDCPs are known for their high quality manufacturing and reliability, and, are available with either threaded connections or a quick-connect design. Both Humboldt DMDCPs feature our exclusive easy-grip hammer that pro- vides a finger grip machined into the back side of the hammer flange, which provides easy, non-slip lifting when performing a test. Humboldt DMDCPs consist of a drive hammer and steel extension shaft assembly with a 60° hard- ened cone tip attached at one end. The cone tip is driven into the pavement or sub grade by means of a sliding dual-mass hammer. The diameter at the base of the cone is 20 millimeters, which is 8 millimeters larger than that of the extension shaft. Hammer weight is 17.7 lbs and the hammer drop distance is 22.6" (574mm). Humboldt DMDCPs can also quickly convert to a single-mass unit for use in weaker soils having low CBR values or foundation evaluations by removing the outer sleeve from the dual-mass hammer.

It also provides vastly improved accuracy and ease of collecting and transferring data from the field to the office. The SmartDCP Achieves This By: • Automatically counting blows • Recording the change in depth with each blow • Tracking the total depth of the probe • Recording data on Apple iOS and Android smart devices via WIFI • Eliminating the need for a ruler, pencil, and paper • Transferring data via e-mail or USB from the smart device The SmartDCP kit can be mounted to most hand held DCPs on the market and is easily operated by a single person. The investment cost associated with the SmartDCP is quickly realized through the reduction in time spent doing field tests, as well as the increased accuracy and ease of transferring data and creating reports. Users have repeat- edly doubled the number of completed tests with increased accuracy when compared to the tradi- tional manual data collection method of using a scale and paper log. In the field the SmartDCP records data on a smart App. The App is free and available for download at the iOS App store for iPhones or Google Play for Android phones. The SmartDCP App immediately provides real time CBR%, depth change between blows, as well as total depth of penetration with each data point.

The DCP can be used effectively in augered holes in nearly all types of soils to depths of 15 to 20 ft. (4.6 to 6.1m). Components are zinc-plated and cones are heat-treated. The cone can be replaced with a Drive Tube Assembly (H-4202.7A) for col- lection of 3" x 10" (7.6 x 25.4 cm) tube samples from hand-augered holes. This penetrometer is used to determine a pene- tration resistance relationship with the standard penetration resistance of virgin soils. As with all field tools used in foundation evaluations, this method should never be used as the sole means for determining foundation conditions. It should be used in conjunction with previously established field and laboratory data, such as the split-spoon standard penetration test, density, shear strength or consolidation data.

CBR field testing can quickly yield a relative strength determina- tion without having to rely on lab tests. Field tests involve forcing a piston into the soil and compar- ing the depth of penetration in relation to the load placed on the piston. Typically, the reaction load used for field testing is a heavy piece of equip- ment, such as a loaded dump truck. Gear box is 2-speed model with a 10,000lbf (45kN) capacity and 3.5 inches of lift. The use of the extension and connector set provides sufficient flexibility for almost any type of height requirement. The CBR field test set includes: CBR Field Test Set H-4152F CBR Field Test Set, Metric Indicators H-4152FM Ship wt. 289 lbs. (131kg) Vane Inspection Set The Vane Inspection Set provides a rapid check of the stability of foundations, excavations and trenches in clay. The total range is 0 to 260kPa (0 to 2.6 ton/sq. ft.). The scale built into the han- dle holds the peak value until reset. Accuracy is ±10%. Four different sized vanes are included with the set (16 x 32, 20 x 40, 25.4 x 50.8mm and 50.8 x 101.6mm). The effective ranges are 0 to 260, 0 to 130, 0 to 65 and 0 to 8kPa. (0 to 2.6, 0 to 1.3, 0 to 0.65 and 0 to 0.08tsf). A “dummy” vane is also included to calibrate the six 0.5 meter long extension rods for effects of soil friction. All items come in a compartmentalized vinyl carrying case with three wrenches. Vane Inspection Set H-4227 Ship wt. 15.6lb (6kg) Geovane Soil Shear Strength Tester The geovane is a hand-held instrument used for determining soil shear strength providing the reading in kPa. The device is simple to use. A 19mm vane blade is screwed into the base of the geovane and the vane is pushed into the soil. Simply rotate the geovane at a rate of 1 revolution per minute and take a reading off the face when the soil fails. The pointer stays in place when fail- ure occurs, allowing you to look up the indicated reading on the supplied calibration chart to get your reading in kPa from zero to 200. Through the use of the optional 33mm vane, readings can be measured between the range of zero to 40 kPa. Extension rods are available to increase the depth measurement capabilities of the unit. The H-4221.4 Adapter is needed to attach extension rods to the geovane. The geovane is supplied complete with a 19mm vane blade, wrenches and a carrying case.

The pocket shear vane is widely used for taking on-site measurements of excavations, including trenches and test pits. It is also used for taking readings from thin-wall or split core soil samples. It can also be used in the laboratory for evaluations. The device is widely used by safety and OSHA inspectors, back hoe operators, field testing technicians, consulting engineers, etc. The Humboldt shear vane device comes with three vanes, which are easily attached or removed from the device with the included hex-wrench. We also include a custom, heavy-duty, nylon bag for storage, which can be quickly attached to your belt with its belt clip, as well as a laminated instructions card, so you always have instructions to refer to when doing tests. The pocket shear vane can be used to gather a large number of readings including those from different failure planes without the need to pre- pare and trim samples. The device can be used on any reasonably flat surface that is slightly larger than the vane surface being used. The pocket shear vane can be used with fully-saturated, fine- grained soils with an undrained strength indepen- dent of normal pressure, including a wide range of clays from soft to stiff consistency. Readings can be made from 0 to 2.5 TSF (1 kg/cm 2 ). The dial on the unit reads in 0.05 TSF (0.05 kg/cm 2 ) increments.
