Residual soils weathered rock and overburden quarry fill represent a significant amount of fill used in road embankments. These have a high stone content which affects both the bulk density and the accuracy of the quality tests associated with compaction control. Density is the parameter that one is most likely to have a good estimate.

It has been recommended that the term completely be superseded by the term extremely (Dearman 1984) as the weathering processs at this stage is far from complete.

Chat Online· The densities of rocks and minerals are normally expressed as specific gravity which is the density of the rock relative to the density of water. This isn t as complex as you may think because water s density is 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 g/cm 3. Therefore these numbers translate directly to g/cm 3 or tonnes per cubic meter (t/m 3).
