9. In the following statements about the compaction of embankment fill, the correct one is ( ). A. compaction is the ratio of the actual dry density achieved to the maximum dry density of the compaction test B. The optimum moisture content depends on the soil type, and is independent of the type of compaction test apparatus and test method C. The most economical compaction and maximum dry density can be achieved by compaction at the optimum moisture content D. The compaction factor can vary with the depth of the fill 10. Under the same conditions, the relationship between the size of the three types of soil pressure is ( ). A. Eo< Ep< Ea B. Ea< Ep< Eo C. Eo< Ea< Ep D. Ea< Eo< Ep
