The material used for subgrade or embankment construction are variable in color, texture and density-moisture relationship. To adequately control the compaction and field densities of these materials is necessary to know what to expect of the material being use. This field book provides you with some information that will serve this purpose. Soil testing is a quantitative method of quality control for the compacted fill material, and the actual number and types made will depend on the requirements specified by the Designer. The Texas Department of Transportation established those requirements on a document called Schedule for Testing and Sampling. Soil testing should always be specified, conducted and the results closely monitored by the designer, inspector and contractor
This field book is used precisely, to collect information on site to fully understand the nature of the material that is being use on the project and to demonstrate that the compacted fill is meeting with soils properties, densities-moisture relationship and number of testing required. Closely monitoring the information collected on this field book will give the user valuable information that will allow him to properly manipulate the material being processed
This field book is a training tool that aggregates civil engineering and construction knowledge that is considered fundamental during the execution of the earthwork
Про автора
Alberto Munguia is known in the projects as the Mexican Engineer ‘El Ingeniero’. He is the most sought after breaking down construction processes for monitoring and controlling purposes. He is famous for his high standards of behavior, commitment to quality, dedication to personal fulfillment and help other to attain it. He stands against lack of commitment to planning, poor quality and acceptance of incompetence
Alberto Munguia is a Civil Engineer by trade and Project Management Professional by specialization. He has more than twenty four years experience providing engineering services during the construction and inspection of infrastructure projects. Since 2010 he has been dedicated to aggregate civil engineering, construction management, quality control and quality assurance methods used by experts during the construction and inspection of highways in Texas. He is well know for his expertise in monitoring and controlling construction processes and his ability to mitigate negative risk
Mr. Munguia earned his bachelor degree in the Ibero-American University. The Ibero is a prestigious Mexican institution of higher education sponsored by the Society of Jesuits. He holds international certificates granted by the American Concrete Institute and the Project Management Institute. He has also earned certificates issued by the Asphalt Hot Mix Association, the Construction Estimating Institute and the Bureau Veritas Mexicana S.A de C.V
Drawing on the Ibero legacy of improving ourselves and his integral and human formation, Mr. Munguia is committed to provide training to contractors, subcontractors, young engineers and students about subjects related to improve the overall quality of roadwork construction by sharing knowledge among them, providing guidance to lesser experienced personnel and teaching them how to use available tools and techniques used by roadwork experts
