English term or phrase: proof roll sub-grade
(Re)Bonjour,

Je travaille actuellement sur un document en rapport avec le domaine de la construction.
Je me permets de vous redemander votre avis concernant une notion qui m'est inconnue : "proof roll sub-grade"

Contexte : "Compact and proof roll sub-grade beneath basecourse"

Il me manque une petite partie de la phrase donc : "Sol de fondation.... compact et résistant au dessous de la couche de base"

Je vous remercie de votre aide.

Cordialement,

Vincent

faire/faites un essai de compactage au rouleau
Explanation:
"compact and proof-roll" are verbs...
"
1.4.1. Compactage statique
Le compactage statique consiste à compacter uniquement
à l’aide de la pression du poids propre de l’engin. L’action en
profondeur étant limitée, on ne peut travailler qu’en couches
très minces. Deux engins courants de compactage statique
sont le rouleau à trois roues et le rouleau tandem (sans
fonction de vibrage)."

"PROOF ROLLING.
Proof rolling with a heavy rubber-tired roller will be required. Proof
rolling shall be done after specified compaction has been obtained. Areas found to be weak (exhibit excessive pumping and those areas which fail shall be ripped, scarified, wetted or dried if necessary and re-compacted to the requirements for density and moisture at the contractor's expense. The operating weight of the roller shall be not less than 12-1/2 tons per wheel. Tires shall be inflated to minimum pressure of 70 pounds per square inch and a maximum pressure of 90 pounds per square inch."
