NZS 4402.4.1.2 – Methods of testing soils for civil engineering purposes – Soil compaction tests – Determination of the dry density/water content relationship – Test 4.1.2 New Zealand heavy compaction test

Covers the determination of dry density when the soil passing a 19.0 mm test sieve is compacted in a specified manner, over a range of water contents, including that which gives the maximum dry density. Compactive effort is greater than in Test 4.1.1. To be read in conjunction with Part 1.
