The following moisture$-$density data are results from a laboratory standard proctor compaction test on a given soil: $($a$)$ Plot the compaction curves on a suitable graph or using an excel spreadsheet, and indicate the maximum dry unit weight and optimum moisture content. $($b$)$ What range of water contents would be acceptable if the specifications call for a $\backslash (97\backslash \%\backslash )$ relative compaction, and water content should be wet of optimum? Represent the moisture content range on the compaction plot. $($c$)$ What is the maximum degree of saturation achieved during the compaction tests that were performed?Problem $3$

The following moisture$-$density data are results from laboratory compaction tests

on a given soil using the same compactive effort:

Note: $G_s=2\mathrm{.}68.$

Use the data to plot a compaction curve for the soil.

Based on the compaction curve you created from the data, what is the maximum

dry unit weight for the soil $($in pcf$)?$

Correct answers must be within $0\mathrm{.}2$ pcf of the textbook solution

Based on the compaction curve you created from the data, what is the optimum

water content for the soil $($in percent$)?$

Correct answers must be within $0\mathrm{.}5($in percent scale$)$ of the textbook solution

$($

$1$ point

What is the maximum saturation level $($in percent$)$ achieved during compaction

tests that were performed?

Correct answers must be within $0\mathrm{.}5($in percent scale$)$ of the textbook solution
