Compaction Test

The document presents results from a compaction test using Standard Proctor and Heavy Compaction methods, detailing the mass of compacted specimens, bulk density, and moisture content across multiple test numbers. It includes calculations for dry density and a graphical representation of dry density versus moisture content. The results indicate variations in bulk density and moisture content, essential for understanding soil compaction characteristics.
