A modified Proctor Test of a soil sample resulted in an optimum moisture content of 12 percent with a dry weight density of 111 lb/cu ft. Field testing of 173 cu in. of soil resulted in a wet weight of 10.8 lb and a dry weight of 9.65 lb. What are the field dry weight, field density, and percent of optimum density? If the specifications require 90 percent of optimum compaction, is compaction adequate? What changes can be made to enhance compaction?
