The results of standard and modified Proctor tests, along with interpretation for the curves, are given in the image below for a sandy soil being considered from a potential borrow pit for a project. Using the interpreted curve, what is the maximum dry unit weight (in pcf) of the soil for the modified Proctor test results? what is the optimum water content of the soil (in percent) for the modified Proctor test results?
The results of standard and modified Proctor tests, along with interpretation for the curves, are given in the image below for a sandy soil being considered from a potential borrow pit for a project.
Using the interpreted curve, what is the maximum dry unit weight (in pcf) of the soil for the modified Proctor test results?
what is the optimum water content of the soil (in percent) for the modified Proctor test results?
The upper curve is of modified proctor test while the similar lower curve is of standard proctor test. In the chart the mentioned value of dry unit weight and optimum moisture content are given wrong. Infact the values are correct but value of standard proctor test is shown in modified proctor test and vice versa... Remember always modified proctor test give higher dry unit weight and lower optimum moisture content than standard proctor test
