Find out the OMC and Max. Dry unit weight. (10points)
A set of laboratory compaction test data and results is tabulated as follows.
Determination Number 12345
Total Density (pcf)116.7122.8127.7130.0127.6
Moisture Content (%)9.111.814.016.518.9
The contractor, during the construction of the soil embankment, achieved the following:
Dry density reached by field compaction =109.1 pcf
Actual water content =18.0%
Will you approve it if it needs to have minimum 95% compaction?
