One of your junior engineers has submitted a construction quality (CQC) plan foryour review before it is sent to the client. The CQC plan includes a compactionspecification for the compacted clay liner. The specification requires that the clay becompacted to a dry unit weight 92% of maximum dry unit weight (standard Proctor)and wet of standard Proctor optimum water content. Compaction and hydraulicconductivity-water content curves for the soil are shown in the figure below. The clayliner is required to have hydraulic conductivity1 x 10-7cm/sec.
