How to Test Compaction of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Compaction test is conducted in the laboratory to determine the relation between the dry density and the water content of the given soil compacted with standard compaction energy and to determine the OMC corresponding to the MDD. The OMC obtained from the laboratory compaction test will help in deciding the amount of water to be […]
