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

1. Create a work order and apply the structure discussed above depending on the result of interest.
2. Add the number of samples for the work order.
3. 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
4. Enter the Reference Density data or, if an Assigned MDD is being used, ensure it is up to date
5. 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.
6. Complete steps steps 3 to 5 for other samples included in the field density test on the work order. 
7. Open the Dry Density Ratio Report to view the report. 

Reporting

Results are reported on the following reports.
