You are checking a field-compacted layer of soil. The laboratory control curve has the following values: gd (kN/m3) w (%) 16.34 14 16.57 16 16.65 18 16.50 20 16.26 22 15.87 24 The specification for compaction states that the field-compacted soil must be at least 95% of the maximum control density and within of the optimum moisture for the control curve. You dig a hole 1m3 in the compacted layer and extract a sample that weighs 17.2 kN wet and 14.1 kN dry. (a) What is the compacted gd? The compaction w? The percent compaction? Does the sample meet the specifications? (b) If the specific gravity is 2.68, what is the compacted degree of saturation?
