Q1: A compacted fill currently under construction will support a proposed supermarket. One of the field density tests in this fill gave a unit weight of 121 pfc and a moisture content of 12.5%. A series of modified proctor tests have also been performed on the fill soils per ASTM D1557 and they gave a maximum dray unit weight of 130 Pcf and an optimum moistures content of 13%. Compute the relative compaction based on the modified proctor test.
