Expert Solution
Step 1
Ans :- For Compaction Control
In Compaction test of Soil, Water is added and after compaction dry density of soil is obtained.After plotting dry density vs moisture content we get certain moisture content where dry density is maximum. This is known as maximum dry density and moisture content as optimum moisture content for a given compaction intensity
