4. The results of a standard Proctor test are given in the following table. a. Determine the maximum dry density (kg/m3) of compaction and the optimum moisture content. Given mold volume 943.3 cm3. b. If specification calls for 97% relative compaction in the field, what would be the field dry density and the range of acceptable moisture content? Trial no. Mass of moist soil in the mold (kg) 1 1.47 2 1.83 2.02 1.95 1.73 1.69 3 4 5 6 Moisture content (%) 10.0 12.5 15.0 17.5 20.0 22.5
