    The document provides information about a standard proctor compaction test performed on a crushed limestone sample. A field compacted sample showed a unit weight of 103.7 pcf at 28% moisture. The relative compaction of the field sample was calculated to be 90% compared to the maximum dry unit weight of 90 pcf from the standard proctor test. The degree of saturation for the field sample was determined to be 70%.

    *Compaction-07: The relative compaction (RC) of a soil.

    (Revision: Aug-08)
    A Standard Proctor compaction test performed on a sample of crushed limestone (Gs = 2.70)
    obtained a maximum dry unit weight of 90 pcf at OMC. A field compacted sample showed a
    moisture of 28% and a unit weight of 103.7 pcf.
    Find the relative compaction (RC).
    Find the degree of saturation S of the field soil sample.

    Solution:

    moist
    103.7
    d ( field ) = =
    = 81.0 pcf
    1 + w 1 + 0.28
    d ( field ) 81.0 pcf
    a ) RC = = = 0.90
    d max 90.0 pcf
    The Relative Compaction = 90%
    Gs w G
    b) d = 1+ e = s w
    1+ e d
    G ( 2.70 )( 62.4 )
    e = s w 1 = 1 = 1.08
    d ( 81.0 )
    Se = wGs
    wGs ( 0.28 )( 2.70 )
    S= = = 0.70 Saturation S = 70%
    e (1.08)
