Please answer this from a perspective done from a soil compaction test.
a) For a compaction test, a report is required on the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content and all the necessary steps to obtain the results. Discuss the results and its relationship with 0%,5% and 10% air void lines.
b) If a road embankment specification requires a relative density of 95% of the maximum dry density, what would the range of dry density and moisture content if this test sample was used for the embankment?
c) Explain how the relative density of 95% of the maximum dry density is related to field compaction in achieving the desired compaction level.
d) Is it possible to obtain equal or greater than 100% maximum density in the field? Explain why and what is the effect of over compaction.
e) If the proposed pavement is for an airport runway, explain what would differ in the compaction test specifications.
f) How can engineers assess the effectiveness of soil compaction during pavement construction?
g) Discuss THREE potential consequences of inadequate soil compaction in pavement construction? In your discussion, explain how inadequate soil compaction can lead to those pavement deteriorations.
