Question 1

What is the role of moisture in soil compaction?

  • Increases air content
  • Acts as a lubricant
  • Reduces density

💡 Hint: Consider the effect of water on soil particles.

Question 2

True or False: Too little moisture can lead to inadequate compaction efficiency.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the necessity of water in particle interactions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose soil X has an OMC of 18%. In a recent storm, the moisture increased to 25%. Discuss how this affects compaction and what actions can be taken.

💡 Hint: Consider the ideal moisture level and the implications of straying above it.

Question 2

Field tests reveal that soil Y at a construction site achieves maximum dry density at an OMC of 12%. However, site conditions suggest that moisture is often fluctuating due to weather. Formulate a strategy to monitor and adjust for optimal compaction.

💡 Hint: How do you plan around natural conditions?
