    A light compaction test was performed on soil over 3 layers with 25 blows each layer. The test involved determining the wet density, dry density, and water content of 5 soil samples. The mass of the mould and samples were recorded, and after drying the samples, the mass of the dry soil and water were measured to calculate the water content and dry density of each sample. The dry densities ranged from 1.70 to 1.81 g/cm3 across the 5 samples.
