question 4



A standard compaction test on a soil resulted in a maximum dry density based on the standard Proctor effort of 1, 730 kg/m^3 and an optimum water content of 15.9%. Specifications call for the compacted dry density in the field to be at least 95% of the maximum dry density and within plusminus 2% of the optimum water content. In a field sand cone test on the compacted material, the volume of excavated soil was 1, 153 cm^3, and its mass was 2, 209 g wet and 1, 879 g dry. The specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.7. Determine: Compacted Dry Density Field water content Degree of saturation Relative compaction Does the compacted soil meet specifications? Please show your reasoning.
