Discussion:

The compaction factor is defined as the ratio of the weight of partially compacted
concreted to the weight of fully compacted c0ncrete . it shall normally to be
stated to the nearest second decimal place .

Compaction factor = ( W1-W2/W2-W)

Conclusion:

The test had some small mistakes , the sand has not been sieved ,the gravel has
not been washed . and when the mix put in to the compacting machine some of
the mix has remained on the bowl.
