    The document contains the results of a laboratory test to determine the moisture-density relationship of a soil sample. Six trials were conducted where the weight and volume of the wet soil, dry soil, and container were measured. The wet density, dry density, and moisture content were calculated for each trial. A graph shows the relationship between dry density and moisture content, with a maximum dry density of 1.5 g/cc achieved at an optimum moisture content of 26%.
