Experimental Comparative Study on Devices Measuring Field Moisture Content of Roadbed Materials

Abstract
For in-place moisture content measurements as a part of quality control (QC) of roadbed construction, many agencies rely on nuclear testing and physical gravimetric drying for moisture content measurements. In this study, alternative methods were initially evaluated to identify technologies that could be used to measure moisture content in the field substitute using gravimetric, dielectric, and electrical conductivity, and suction-based methods. The small scale field test and actual field tests were then performed to evaluate device bias and accuracy, and estimates of single-operator standard deviation of repeat measurements. Through those results, the list of most promising devices could be narrowed down.
Key Words: Moisture content; Nuclear test; Gravimetric; Dielectric; Electrical conductivity; Suction-based method
요지
도로 및 철도노반 시공관리를 하는 데 있어서 측정하는 노반재료의 현장 함수비는 주로 핵밀도시험이나 건조질량함수 산정법을 이용하여 측정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 이러한 방법외에 유전율전도, 전기비전도, 모관흡수 측정에 근간한 방법들에 대한 평가를 우선적으로 하였다. 평가 결과를 토대로 각 측정방법에 근간한 대표적인 측정기기를 선정하였으며, 현장시험을 통해서 각 측정법의 정확도 및 신뢰도를 통계적인 수치로 평가하였다. 본 논문에서는, 이러한 평가방법을 통해서, 핵밀도시험방법이나 건조질량함수산정법 외에 적용할 수 있는 측정방법을 제시하였다.
핵심용어: 함수비; 핵밀도시험; 건조질량; 유전율전도; 전기비전도; 모관흡수측정방법
