Determine the dry unit weight in the field by using the following
formula:

Here, dry unit weight in the field is , max dry unit weight is
, and relative compaction is R.
Substitute for and 0.9 for R from problem 6.14.

Determine the weight of soil after compaction.

Here, unit weight of after compaction is , area of soil is ,

and weight of before compaction is .
Substitute for in formula.

..... (2)

The weight of soil before and after compaction is same.

Solving the equations (1) and (2).

Therefore, the weight of soil after compaction is .
