Goal of CompactionPlace loose soil in the field and compact it to make soil strong as possible
Maximum shear strengthVery little settlement
Find soil lowest emin ……highest dry unit weight

Influence of compaction on soil hydraulic conductivity

Soil Compaction Measurement
Soil Compaction MeasurementUse dry sand with known dry density and specific gravityUse dry sand to get volume of holeQuick and reliable method
14
Soil Compaction MeasurementUse radioactive material to get moisture content and soil densityQuick methodReliable if calibratedRadioactive device therefore special transportation and rules must be followed
Compaction Specification
Standard Proctor Specification95 to 100 percent of MDUW
Modified Proctor Specification92 to 98 percent of MDUW
