(Modified from Das 8th Ed. P6.5) The results of a standard Proctor test are given in the following table.
(i) Plot the compaction curve (dry unit weight against moisture content) based on the above standard
Proctor test results. Given the mold volume =943.3cm3.
(ii) Plot the zero-air-void curve on the same graph of (i). Given: Gs=2.70.
Recall: d=Gsw1+(GsS)
(iii) Determine the maximum dry unit weight of compaction and the optimum moisture content.
(iv) If the specification calls for 95% relative compaction in the field, what would be the field dry
density and the range of acceptable moisture content?
