Standard Proctor Compaction Test: 2. Soil Preparation Step-by-Step Testing Procedure

Описание: 0:00 Compaction test Day 1: Soil preparation, 0:23 Use about 2500 g of soil and thoroughly mix it with water, 4:37 Place the moist soil in a sealed container and allow it to rest for 24 hours for more even moisture distribution, 5:39 Day 2: Compaction test, 6:37 Place soil in the mould (about 1/3) and compact the first layer using 25 blows, 7:17 Repeat the procedure and compact the second layer using 25 blows, 8:05 Repeat the procedure and compact the third layer using 25 blows, 8:53 Trim the top to remove the soil excess, 9:30 Measure the mass of soil, mould and base, 9:51 Take soil samples from the top and bottom for water content test.
This video explain how to prepare soil for compaction and conduct a standard compaction test. The soil specimen must be compacted in three layers using 25 blows for each layer. The water content is measured after each compaction test.
