Question: The Proctor compaction test is conducted on a soil sample, and the following data is obtained: ( Total points 1 5 ) Weight of empty

The Proctor compaction test is conducted on a soil sample, and the following data is obtained: (Total points 15)Weight of empty mold -2.5 kgWeight of mold + compacted soil =4.8 kgVolume of the mold =1,000 cubic centimeters. Given:Maximum Dry Density (assumed from Proctor test)=1,800 kg/m'. Note: Assume thedensity of water is 1,000 kg/m'.Using this information, calculate the following:Bulk Density: Calculate the bulk density of the compacted soil in kg/m'.Dry Density: If the moisture content of the soil is 10%, calculate the dry density of the compacted soil in kg/m'.Degree of Compaction: Determine the degree of compaction as a percentage.
