Standard Proctor Compaction Test and Modified Proctor Compaction Test
Objective of this experiment is to determine optimum moisture content and maximum dry unit weight of compaction for soils that is utilized for specification of field compaction.
Description of Soil Samples:The soil use in the lab experiment was Limerock soil. Description of Test Methodology: At first about 10 lb. (44.48 N) of air-dry soil on which the compaction test conducted was collected and all the soil lumps were broken. The soil was sieved on a No.4 sieve and all of the minus-4 material were collected in a large pan. Then enough water was added to the minus-4material and mixed it in thoroughly Continue reading...
