These test methods cover laboratory compaction meth- ods used to determine the relationship between molding water content and dry unit weight of soils (compaction curve). Compaction is the application of mechanical energy to the soil, to rearrange the particles and reduce the void ratio, usually by driving out air, thus increasing the dry density of the soil. 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. 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. NEED &SCOPE. Compaction is the application of mechanical energy to the soil, to rearrange the particles and reduce the void ratio, usually by driving out air, thus increasing the dry density of the soil. 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.
