The relative compaction (RC) of a sandy road base in the field is 90%. The maximum and minimum dry unit weights of the sand are Ya(max) = 20.4 kN/m and Ya(min) = 13.9 kN/m². Determine the field values of: a) The dry unit weight in the field; b) Relative density (of compaction) D;; c) The moist unit weight y when its moisture content is 15%.
