Plot Diagram with labels and sample testlabels

Specifications call for a fill dry density of 114 pcf andfurther require that the fill be compacted at optimum water contentfor the field compactive effort. For the following field densitytest results on a fill, explain how you alter the field placementoperation:

  1. ?d = 115 pcf ; ? = 12.5 percent

  1. ?d = 112.5 pcf ; ? = 13.5 percent

  1. ?d = 110 pcf ; ? = 14.5 percent

  1. ?d = 111 pcf; ? = 17.3 percent
