A new road to be constructed from Sri Gading to Tanjong Laboh is requires field and laboratory testing. A standard proctor test was conducted on a selected soil for backfill material. Results from the test are recorded in Table 2. The volume of mold is 954 cm³. a) Plot the dry unit weight of compaction against the moisture content and determine the maximum dry unit weight and optimum moisture content. b) A mass of 1185 cm³ soil sample obtained from sand cone replacement test is 1974 g and field moisture content recorded is 11.3%. Consider the results from Q4(a), determine the relative compaction of the compacted soil. Table 2: Compaction result for a new road construction from Sri Gading to Tanjong Laboh

Laboratory compaction test results and fielddetermined in-place density (unit weight) results are reported in terms of dry density or unit weight and not wet density or unit weight. Outline the reasons for this procedure of reporting. (Hint: Consider the soil properties directly related to density or unit weight.)
A soil sample was taken from a site of a proposed borrow pits and sent to the laboratory for a Standard Proctor test. Results of the test are as recorded in Table Q4.

Read the question carefully and give me both a&b right solutions. A proctor compaction test in the laboratory on a borrow pit soil gives maximum unit weight of 19 kN/m3 and optimum water content of 11.5%. The bulk unit weight and water content of the soil in the borrow pit are 17.2 kN/m3 and 8.2%, respectively. A highway fill is to be constructed using this soil. The specifications require the fill to be compacted to 95% Proctor compaction. (a) What is the additional weight of water per unit volume required to bring the moisture content to the optimum value to achieve 95% Proctor compaction? (b) How many truckloads of borrow pit soil will be required for a 100,000 m3 highway embankment - assuming each truck has a capacity of 10 m3 ?
