Question

Problem 1:
The results of a standard Proctor test are given in the following table. Given: Mold volume = 1/30 ft^3 and Gs = 2.69. Determine the void ratio and the degree of saturation at the optimum moisture content.

Trial # Weight of moist soil in the mold (lb) Moisture content (%)
1 3.7 8.6
2 4.15 10.6
3 4.69 12.5
4 4.62 14.9
5 4.02 16.7
6 3.63 18.3

Problem 2
The laboratory test in Problem 1 is used to develop field compaction specification for a highway project. A field unit weight determination during the construction revealed that the in situ moist unit weight is 124 lb/ft3 and the moisture content is 13.7%. Determine the relative compaction in the field.
