A standard proctor compaction test performed on a sample of soil having Gs= 2.70 obtained a maximum dry unit weight of 90pcf at OMC. A field compacted sample showed a moisture of 28% and a unit weight of 103.70 pcf. Find: (a) the relative compaction (b) the degree of saturation of the field soil compaction.

In the construction of a road, the compaction specification required was 95% of Proctor maximum dry density at field moisture content within 2% of the optimum moisture content. The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content obtained in the laboratory from the Standard Proctor test were 1.94 gm/cc and 13.5% respectively. A site engineer conducted sand cone test at two locations and obtained the following results. Location No. 1 2 Mass of soil removed (gm) Wet 43.86 37.38 Dry 38.46 32.21 Mass of sand used (gm) 39.51 32.39 The density of sand used was 1.87 gm/cc. Check whether the specification was satisfied or not.
