Abstract
In order to control compaction of earthwork, it is necessary to obtain data on dry density and water content. In this study, a penetration test and an electric resistance test were used as the methods of measuring dry density and water content. These testing methods were applied to monitor the compaction work of the subbase level of the baseball ground which was improved by using coal cinders and decomposed granite. Furthermore, these data can be obtained very rapidly, easily and safely, with the same accuracy as the JIS-approved method. If these tests could be used, the control of the execution of work would be more easy and also the result of construction work would be more sound and of standard grade. Therefore, this research has contributed to raising the level of earth engineering in civil construction works.
