About this document
Soil Compaction and Moisture Analysis by Allan Añavisa Ostique Jr. is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses different methods for compacting soil and measuring soil density. It describes the Proctor compaction test which determines maximum dry density at optimum moisture content using a standardized mold. It defines relative compaction as the ratio of field dry density to maximum laboratory dry density. Finally, it discusses three common field density test methods - sand cone, rubber balloon, and nuclear devices - and provides diagrams of associated testing apparatuses.
