LAB Tests

This document contains the results of several soil tests including moisture content tests, Atterberg limits tests, compaction tests, and an unconfined compression test. The moisture content tests show values ranging from 8.17% to 30.88%. The Atterberg limits tests determine a liquid limit of 21.5% and a plasticity index of 6.8. The compaction tests include standard compaction tests at different moisture contents and a compaction curve showing maximum dry densities around 18-19 kN/m3. The unconfined compression test applies loads from 0 to 130 pounds and measures corresponding displacements to determine the stress-strain behavior and compressive strength of the soil sample.
