This test method describes the procedure for determining, potentially quickly, level of whether the soil densification obtained by the compaction operations meets the requirements of the New York State Department of Transportation Standard Sp ecifications. Compaction testing of unbound materials consists of determining the in-place density of a material (such as fine-grained soil, granular material, or shale) and calculating the percent compaction of the material based on a maximum dry density. Compact the moist soil into the mould in five layers of approximately equal mass, each layer being given 25 blows, with the help of kg rammer, dropped from a height of mm above the soil. The blows must be distributed uniformly over the surface of each layer. This test method describes the procedure used to determine the relative compaction of untreated and treated soils and aggregates. Relative compaction in this method is defined as the ratio of the in-place, wet density of a soil. The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density.
