(b) A soil sample was taken from a site of a proposed borrow pits and sent to the UTHM laboratory for a Standard Proctor test. Given the volume of proctor mold is 943.3cm and the results of the test are as recorded in Table Q2. (i) ) From the data given, examine the appropriate method of analysis to determine the compaction parameter. Discuss the moisture range permitted from your investigation, if contractor must achieve 95% relative compaction. (ii) A field density test for the soil describe in Q2 obtained the moisture content 10.5% and moist density 1705kg/m². Determine the relative compaction
Table Q2: Result of Standard Proctor Test Moisture content Mass of wet soil in the mold (kg) (%) 1.68 1.71 1.77 1.83 1.86 1.88 1.87 1.85 9.9 10.6 12.1 13.8 15.1 17.4 19.4 21.2
