    MDD, Omc (VH) - GCS

    Uploaded by

    Daniel Kariuki
    The document describes the results of a test to determine the moisture-density relationship of graded crushed stone (GCS) with 2% cement using the vibrating hammer method. Test results show the wet density, moisture content, and calculated dry density of GCS samples compacted at various moisture contents ranging from 3-8%. The maximum dry density was determined to be 2315 kg/m3 at the optimum moisture content of 6.3%.
