Suggested Method for Correcting Maximum Density and Optimum Moisture Content of Compacted Soils for Oversize Particles
SourceThis method (Note 1) is intended to provide calculated values for the maximum density and optimum moisture content for the total soil, when the moisture-density relations test is made on the portion of the soil passing either a No. 4 (4760-micron) or a ¾-in. sieve. These calculated values for maximum density and optimum moisture content for the total soil are required for comparison with the measured values for the density and moisture content of a layer of the soil undergoing compaction in the field.
