1 Proctor / Optimum Moisture Maximum Density Let s take a walk on the beach.
2 Proctor / Max. Density Test A Proctor is the name of the method used in determining the density - moisture relationship in soils Optimum Moisture Content is calculated from the proctor information Maximum Density is the density of a soil when fully compacted at optimum moisture
3 Soil Density Tests Std. Proctor AASHO-T lb. Hammer 25 blows/layer 12 in. 18 in. Mod. Proctor AASHO-T lb. Hammer 25 blows/layer Comp. Effort 13,400 ft. lbs.. Comp. Effort 56,200 ft. lbs..
4 Optimum Moisture Effects (Soils) Water acts as a lubricant For the soil particles Too much - takes up space, does not allow bonding Too little-- lessens the degree of compaction
5 What Is Compaction? COMPACTION - the act of artificially densifying or increasing the unit weight of the soil through the application of external forces; reducing the voids or pore spaces to a minimum and increasing the solid particle content to a maximum. SOIL COMPACTION- different methods of compaction are needed for different types of soils. This can be established by the use of standard test procedures.

7 Compactive Forces Water Air
8 Amplitude inches Vertical distance of drum travel
9 Frequency Roller Drum Low VPM High VPM VPM - Vibrations Per Minute Speed of the rotating eccentric shaft
10 Speed Bumps Improper Impact Spacing
11 Compaction Objectives 1. Increased load bearing capacity 2. Increased stability 3. Lower permeability 4. Reduced settlement
12 Primary Factors In Compaction Material - type or make-up Lift thickness Density requirements % Of moisture required Productivity required Selection of equipment

20 Below Optimum Moisture At Optimum Moisture Above Optimum Moisture
21 Theoretical Maximum Density Theoretical Maximum Density can be used as a quick reference for weight and compaction information Using the gradation of the current sample and the most recent proctor, optimum moisture and bulk specific gravity of course aggregate you can theoretically calculate the maximum density that sample could achieve

23 Remember the walk on the beach, it is critical that the sub grade and the surface course be at optimum moisture to have a stable structure. Below Optimum Moisture At Optimum Moisture Above Optimum Moisture
