Work Order Structure

Queensland TMR

An example work order structure of a QTMR field density test is shown below.

Work order structure for QTMR field density tests contain aggregate/soil samples with the following tests as children of the sample:

Field Density - an option of one of the following:
- Compacted Density of Soils and Crushed Rock - Nuclear Test
  - Moisture Content
- Compacted Density of Soils and Crushed Rock - Sand Replacement
  - Moisture Content
Reference Density Result - an option of one of the following:
- Maximum Dry Density - Standard
- Maximum Dry Density - Modified
- Assigned Maximum Dry Density (this does not need to be on the same sample)
Moisture Content
Relative Compaction and Degree of Saturation

And the following tests on the work order level:

Dry Density Ratio Report
Q20 Characteristic Values (optional)

The worksheets need to be completed so they can be referenced on the Relative Compaction worksheet. The exact details for each completing each of these worksheets is explained in the documentation for each specific test method. The results from the Relative Compaction worksheet are then reported onto a work order level Dry Density Ratio Report.

Data Entry Process

Kiosk

The discussion below assumes that neither QESTField Tests or QESTLab's Kiosk mode are being used. With QESTField Tests all field results and sample details will be entered by the technician, on site. With kiosk mode, all moisture content results and laboratory test results will be entered using the Kiosk functionality.

Create a work order and apply the structure discussed above depending on the result of interest.
Add the number of samples for the work order.
On the bulk entry screen
1. Fill in the sample level information
2. The Nuclear Field Density test screen contains all field results hence it can (and should) be filled in immediately after the technician returns from the field
3. If oversize is present, enter this information in the "Details" frame on the Relative Compaction and Degree of Saturation test screen.
4. Enter Moisture Content test data as it becomes available
Enter the Reference Density data or, if an Assigned MDD is being used, ensure it is up to date
Back on the bulk entry screen
1. The Moisture Content test and Reference Density test data is automatically imported onto the Relative Compaction and Degree of Saturation test screen if these tests are on the same sample. If an Assigned MDD is being used, the sample number on which the assigned test resides must be entered. Import the sample level MDD or Assigned MDD result or enter results for an "external" sample.
2. Complete the rest of the relevant fields on the "Results" frame Relative Compaction and Degree of Saturation test screen.
Complete steps steps 3 to 5 for other samples included in the field density test on the work order.
Open the Dry Density Ratio Report to view the report.

Reporting

Results are reported on the following reports.
