|A Standard Proctor test was performed on a clayey Sand soil: the test results are shown below. Find, a) Plot the dry unit weight versus the water content. Also plot 0% air void curve. b) Calculate the Kdmax. and the optimum water content from the compaction curve. c) At the optimum condition, calculate void ratio, the degree of saturation and air sontent; assume that Gs = 2.65. d) Calculate the dry unit weight at 95% of Standard Proctor. e) Calculate the moisture range for the 95% yalue. f) The soil will be compacted to its 95% of maximum dry density (dry side of optimum water content). The transfered soil to the construction site has a water content of 12.0 %. How much (m³) water should be added or removed to 1 mº compacted solid xolume during the compaction procedure? (Assume that the mass of solid does not shange.) The results of a Standard Compaction test are shown in the table below. w. (%) 6.5 8.2 9.5 11.2 12.3 13.2 16.5 18.2 19.5 20.2 19.9 19.6

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.
