Void ratio for a rate of compaction of 95.0% the soil solids have a specific gravity of 2.78.
From the graph of standard proctor test the maximum dry density is 125.5 pcf.
For a relative compaction of 95% we have to achieve a dry density of 119.225 pcf.
Using the relation between the dry density and Specific gravity we find the void ratio of soil at 95% relative compaction is 0.455

3. Modified Proctor compaction test results for a soil at a construction site indicated that the maximum dry density Ya = 120 lb/A’ at an optimum water content wopt = 9.0%. Assuming specific gravity of the mineral solids Ga=2.67, calculate: (a) the void ratio at the maximum dry density (b) the degree of saturation S at maximum dry density.
3. Modified Proctor compaction test results for a soil at a construction site indicated that the maximum dry density ya = 125 lb/ft at an optimum water content Wopt = 9.5%. Assuming specific gravity of the mineral solids G=2.65, calculate: (a) the void ratio at the maximum dry density (b) the degree of saturation Sat maximum dry density.

A sandy soil has a maximum void ratio (emax) of 0.63 and a minimum void ratio (emin) of 0.36. The soil is compacted to a dry unit of 17.8 Kn/m at a moisture content of 1896. The specific gravity of the solids is 2.7. What is the relative density of the soil after compaction?
Compaction 1. Why do we compact soils to 90 or 95% Standard Proctor (.e. maximum dry unit weight) instead of 100% Standard Proctor? 2. At what saturation is the theoretical minimum void ratio achieved? 3.

write nicely thank you bruh this for sand (b) A soil sample from a proposed road construction in Segamat, Johor was sent to a Geotechnical Laboratory UTHM, for a compaction test. The results of compaction test obtained using modified Proctor compaction test is shown in Figure Q4 (b). 3 hi HELP ME! Predict the maximum dry density (Pmax), optimum moisture content (OMC), the dry density at 95% compaction and the range of moisture content at 95% compaction on dry...
