Question: given: a - Specifications for a project require a compaction equal to 9 8 % of laboratory maximum dry Unit weight ( density ) .

given: a-Specifications for a project require a compaction equal to 98% of laboratory maximum dry Unit weight (density). b-A Proctor test on a soil sample resulted in a maximum dry density of 131.4 lbs./ft^3 with an optimum moisture content of 8.2%. c- A Sand Cone apparatus is calibrated in the lab as follows: Mass required to fill cone=773.0 g or 1.704 lbs. Mass require to fill a proctor mold =1421.0 g or 3.1327 lbs. d- the field density test results in the following: weight of sand, bottle, and cone before test =14.31 lbs. weight of sand, bottle, and cone after test -7.092 lbs. weight of sample from hole plus container =8.423 lbs. weight of container =0.272 lbs. water content test on a sample from test hole: mass and container =283.12 g. mass of container =91.33 g. mass of dry soil and container =263.82 g. Find: did this test pass or fail and what results would you report from this test?
