2/5/2019 2.8 3 992.88 CC 2.6 25 310 MM: Standard Proctor Test

A standard proctor test was performed on February 5th, 2019. The test involved compacting soil in 5 layers in a 992.88 cc mould using a 2.6 kg rammer dropped from 310 mm. The bulk density, water content, dry density and other properties were calculated for each layer and plotted on a graph. The dry densities ranged from 1.12 to 1.18 g/cc and water contents ranged from 35.29% to 45.99%.
