NZS 4402.4.1.3 – Methods of testing soils for civil engineering purposes – Soil compaction tests – Determination of the dry density/water content relationship – Test 4.1.3 New Zealand vibrating hammer compaction test

Covers the determination of the dry density when the soil passing a 37.5 mm test sieve is compacted by an electrically operated vibrating hammer compactor, over a range of water contents, including that which gives the maximum dry density. To be read in conjunction with Part 1.
