SOIL COMPACTION. For the compaction control of an embankment, maximum dry volumetric weight of 20.06gr/cm3 and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of 10% are specified. The quarry material used for said embankment has a humidity of 5% on site and a volumetric weight of 1.75 gr/cm3. The embankment is built in layers 30 cm thick (considered before compaction). Calculate: a) The amount of water in litres/m2 that must be added on site to the quarry material in order to reach the...

10. A test group G1 compacts the soil in the compaction mould in 3 layers, giving 25 blows of rammer to each layer. Another test group G2 of your laboratory session uses 5 layers, giving 25 blows of rammer to each layer. Compare the compaction test parameters (maximum dry unit weight and optimum water content) of the two groups?
