The relative compaction of a sand in the field is 94%. Given that yalmax) = 16.9 KN/m³, and yamin) = 14.4 kN/m³, what is the dry unit weights in the field and the relative density of compaction?
A construction of the formation level of the road has been conducted on the laterite soil. Prior to the placement of the sub-base layer, this formation level need to be tested their density. The compaction and sand cone replacement test have been conducted and based on these test, the Maximum Dry Density (MDD), bulk density and water content value of l1766 kg/m³, 1835 kg/m³ and 9.1% were obtained. Calculate the degree of compaction of the formation level and does it comply to specification of the work if the required degree of compaction in the specification is at least 95%.
