A standard Proctor test was performed on a soil which has a G = 2.75. The moisture content and total density results are shown in the table below. Wet unit weight (KN/m³) Moisture Content 12% 18.1 14% 19.3 16% 20.7 18% 21.0 20% 18.2 a. Calculate the dry unit weight for each sample and type your answers in the first 5 answer boxes below (3 sigs, in KN/m3). b. Calculate the dry unit weight at zero air void for the 12% and 14% moisture content samples and type those answers in boxes 6 and 7 below(3 sigs, in KN/m3). . c. Plot the moisture content-dry unit weight curve and zero air void line on graph paper. d. From the moisture content-dry density curve, determine the maximum dry unit weight(3 sigs, in KN/m3). and optimum moisture content (3 sigs, in %). for this soil and type those answers in boxes 8 and 9 below.
