The field compaction of an earthwork was checked by an inspection engineer. In the laboratory test, the soil gives a maximum dry density of 1.521 gram/cc at optimuin moisture content of 14.8%. Construction specifications requires that the soil compacted dry density imust be at least 95% of the maximum dry density obtained from laboratory within t 0.2% of optimum moisture content. The following data were obtained in the field using the sand cone test: Volume of soil excavated = 1245-cm Weight of soil excavated = 2260 grams Dry weight of soil = 1810 grams What is the field unit weight of the soil? A. 1.815 g/cc B. 1.857 g/cc What is the in situ moisture content of the soil? A. 25.14% B. 23.78% C. 1.921 g/cc D. 1.784 g/cc C. 26.32% D. 24.86% Determine the relative compaction of the soil and whether it is adequate or not. A. 95.58, not adequate B. 95.18, adequate C. 95.18, not adequate D. 95.58, adequate
