Proof Rolling of Foundation Soil and Prepared Subgrade
Proof rolling provides a method to examine the entire subgrade surface as a compliment to standard random acceptance testing Proof rolling requires established criteria that account for the interplay of equipment parameters and soil characteristics, technique, and other specifics of the project to allow for proper interpretation Proofrolling has often been suggested as an alternate method for compaction testing If the material lift is 812", near optimum moisture and the compaction effort ( weight / amplitude / pattern ) is adequate, what criteria should be used for interpretation, with respect to material type; crushed top courses, pit runs, clays / silts, etc ?Proofrolling Soil testing engineering EngTips Proof rolling of subgrade shall be performed with a pneumatictired rolling equipment, developing, a load of 30 to 50 tons Proof rolling shall only be performed in the presence of the Engineer In a systematic manner acceptable to the Engineer, the equipment shall perform a minimum of three (3) passes over the designated areas(s)Proofrolling Soil testing engineering EngTips

204 Subgrade Compaction and Proof Rolling
Proof rolling may be done either before or after pipe underdrains are installed If done after underdrains are installed, rolling should not be done directly over the underdrains In 20406, proof rolling must be performed at least 1½ feet (05 meters) away from the underdrains because of the potential damage to the underdrainsProofrolling is an excellent tool that will assist materially in the construction of adequate pavements, but there is a growing tendency to look on proofrolling as a panacea for all compaction problems, even to the extent of relaxing on inspection and construction control testing where proof rolling is being usedProofRolling of Suhgrades Transportation Research Board Engineering Bureau The intent is to present the mechanics of performing each test, not the theory behind the test The triaxial test procedures have been developed from those which are described in Soil Testing for Engineers by T W Lambe and The Measurement of Soil Properties in the Triaxial Test by A W Bishop and D J HenkelSOIL MECHANICS LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES

Proof rolling should be performed within two days of commencement of placement of fill or construction of foundations If a significant amount of time occurs between the completion of the proof roll and the described operations, the subgrade could be subject to softening and/or degradation from construction traffic and/or weatherSubgrade Test Roll Inspections Australian Standard: AS3798 – 2007 Subgrade Preparation Stripping Inspections – The area on which the fill is to be placed and the area from which the cut is to be removed should be stripped of all vegetation and of such soils as may be unsuitable to support the proposed loadings or for incorporation in fills subject to density, moisture or other Subgrade Test Roll Inspections ComsoiltestSoils Observation Material Testing Our certified technicians are trained to perform all levels of soil testing from monitoring fill placement, stripping of top soil, proofrolling of subgrades, testing of compacted fill, moisture density relationships and the collection of soil samples for laboratory testingServices Soil Consultants Engineering
