A laboratory compaction test was performed on a soil sample taken from a proposed cut area. The maximum dry unit weight and optimum moisture content were determined to be 104.8 1b/ft 3 and 20.7%, respectively. Estimate the possible type or classification of soil for this sample. 1) A-2-5 or A-2-6 2) A-4 or A-5 3) A-7-6 or A-6 4) A-1-a or A-1-b

Soil Compaction Test

Soil compaction is the major area of geotechnical engineering. Soil is composed of multiple pores present on its surface, while the soil is mainly composed of gravel, sand, rocks, etc. The arrangement of these rocks and gravels is such that they build up voids (spaces) between them, which allows spaces for the roots of the plants and crops to spread and absorb the required amount of nutrients. Soil compaction is a major problem primarily caused by human activities, micro-organisms, and other multiple factors.
