    Numerical On Compaction Curve

    Uploaded by

    Irfan zameer
    The document summarizes the process of plotting a compaction curve from lab test results to determine optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of a soil. It includes the steps of [1] calculating dry density from moisture content and bulk density values, [2] plotting moisture content versus dry density, and [3] determining from the graph that the optimum moisture content is approximately 15% and the maximum dry density is approximately 1.74 gm/cm3.

    The mould is 12.7 cm high and has an internal diameter of 10 cm. The weight of the empty mould is 1.89 kg.
    (i) Plot the mositure content vs dry density curve and determine the optimum moisture content and
    maximum dry density
    (ii) Plot the zero air void curve and 10% air void curve. Take G = 2.68

    Given Data:

    Height of the mould h = 12.7 cm


    Diameter of mould d = 10 cm
    Empty weight of mould = 1.89 kg
    Sp gravity G = 2.68
