    This document contains the results of a series of soil compaction tests. It records the water content, dry density, and moist unit weight of six soil samples compacted using a 10.1 cm diameter mold that is 11.6 cm high. It determines that the optimum moisture content is 16.0% and the maximum dry density is 15.60 kN/m3 based on a graph showing dry density decreasing as moisture content increases beyond 16.0%.
