The Fleming Innovation Center is nearing completion, and the engineers are preparing to create a road that will allow vehicular access to the building. The road will be 1000 ft long. It will have two lanes, each 12 ft wide. The roadway will be asphalt underlain by a base course of soil. The city design specifications require that the base course be 16 inches thick and compacted at 98% Standard Proctor. The compaction curve from the standard Proctor test was created earlier and is shown below. • What is the range of water contents that can be used to meet the specification? • What is the range of volume of water (in gallons) needed to build the access road?
