Complete all sections of your lab report as described in the syllabus, lab$-$grading rubric, and

outline of lab report $($sample$)-$ individual lab report

Draw the compaction curve $($i$.$e$.,$ plot the dry density values on the $y-$axis and the moisture

contents on the x $-$axis$).$ Draw a smooth curve connecting the plotted points. Plot the zero$-$air$-$

void line on the same graph.

Note: This Graph should look like the "Compaction Curve" on slide $17$ of Lecture $7($soils$)$

slides.

Identify and report the optimum moisture content $($OMC or ${}_{\text{o}\text{p}\text{t}})$ and the maximum dry

density $($MDD or $P_{d(max)}).$ The optimum moisture content $($OMC or ${}_{\text{o}\text{p}\text{t}})$ is the water content

that results in the greatest dry density for a specified compactive effort.
