Performing The Proctor Test - Road Construction, Level 5

Performing The Proctor Test - Road Construction, Level 5

In these video lessons the instructors demonstrate the compaction process for the Proctor Test using the modified compaction effort. They use the 4.5 kg rammer to compact the soil into three layers with 25 blows each, while carefully removing any excess soil from the top layer. 

They then demonstrate how to extract the compacted soil sample from the mold and weigh it, as well as how to calculate the bulk density and dry density of the soil. The video lesson concludes with a discussion on the significance of the results obtained from the Proctor Test and their application in earthworks and construction projects.
