 Thefield compaction control consists of the
determination of,
1) Dry density
2) Water content
Soil Compaction in the Field:

5- Sheep foot Roller

1- Rammers

2- Vibratory Plates

6- Dynamic Compaction

3- Smooth Rollers

4- Rubber-Tire
Soil Compaction in the Lab:

1- Standard Proctor Test

2- Modified Proctor Test

Standard Proctor Test Modified Proctor Test

 Measured using core cutter and sand
replacement method.
 The degree of compaction achieved in the
measured by the relative compaction, which
defined as the ratio, expressed as a
percentage.
 Relative compaction,
 Field Soil Compaction
Because of the differences between lab and field compaction methods, the
maximum dry density in the field may reach 90% to 95%.

 For cohesionless soils,
 Measured using oven drying method.
 In the field water content determined using,
 Sand bath method
 Alcohol method(the calcium carbide method)
 The nuclear method
 Proctor needle method
It is not reliable for cohesion less soil
not Give the execute result for cohesion less soil

Method is fast
Reliable for fine grained soil
