    This document describes the process and observations for conducting a compaction test on soil. The test involves measuring the empty mass of a mould and base plate, the mass of the mould filled with compacted soil and base plate, and then calculating values like the mass of compacted soil, bulk density, water content, dry density, void ratio, theoretical dry density at 100% saturation, and degree of saturation.
