QUESTION 11 Laboratory compaction tests were performed on a soil sample using a standard cylindrical mold (1/30 ft) to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum dry unit weight of the soil. The results of standard proctor test and modified proctor test on the soil are given below Standard Compaction Test Modified Compaction Test Weight of wet soil in the Moisture Content Weight of wet soil in the Moisture Content mold (lb) (%) mold (lb) (%) 3.26 8.4 3.75 6.5 4.15 10.2 4.59 8.4 4.67 12.3 4.82 10.2 4.20 14.6 4.29 12.9 3.63 16.8 3.75 15.2 Determine the following from Standard Compaction test 1. Plot the Compaction Curve (upload as a file attachment in next question) 2. Maximum Dry Unit Weight 3. Optimum Moisture Content lb/ft (%) Determine the following from Modified Compaction test 1.
