Description

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of testing dry density of filling materials for earth-rock dam construction, and in particular to a testing device and method for dry density of on-site original graded filling materials. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two methods for testing the filling quality of filling materials, namely, digging a pit and filling it with sand and digging a pit and filling it with water. The digging a pit and filling it with water is commonly used. The basic principle of the above two methods is to replace the volume of the test pit based on the volume of standard sand (or water).

[0003] The pit digging and sand filling method has the following disadvantages: the test pit is usually large in size, requiring a large amount of standard sand, and the density of the standard sand needs to be calibrated regularly, resulting in high testing costs; in order to save costs, if the contaminated standard sand is recovered after the test, it will take a lot of time.

[0004] The pit digging and watering method has the following disadvantages: before watering, a plastic film needs to be laid in the test pit, and the film needs to be spread to make it close to the surface of the test pit during watering; during the watering process, the film is easily piled up under the pressure of water, causing volume measurement errors; due to the thin thickness of the film, the speed and flow of water injection need to be controlled during the watering process to avoid damage to the film caused by water injection or overflow of water from the test pit, causing volume measurement errors; on the other hand, the film is prone to damage during use and needs to be replaced at any time, increasing the test cost.

[0005] In addition, when using the water filling method, due to limited conditions, the water used is usually turbid, and the tester tends to ignore the effect of water temperature on density. When calculating the volume of the test pit, the density is still 1.00g / cm 3 Calculation results in deviation in the test pit volume. Summary of the invention
