· The optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of GCS were measured by the vibratory compaction method. For the GM gradation, the optimum moisture content is % and the maximum dry density is g/cm 3; for the GF gradation, the optimum moisture content is % and the maximum dry density is g/cm 3.
optimum moisture content in accordance with the requirements of Table 8/1. However the optimum moisture content for some unbound materials with low fines content may be difficult to determine accurately and, where uncertainty about the optimum moisture content occurs, guidance on the most suitable moisture content range for laying

optimum moisture contents within 3 % for both RAP/RPM and RCA samples. The average MDU was about 19-20 kN/m3 for both RAP/RPM and RCA samples. However, the average OMC was higher for RCA (about 10%) than RAP/RPM (about 7%) samples due to higher absorptive capacity of RCA samples. OMC can be estimated empirically
Crushed Stone Aggregate And Crusher Dust Mixes In Flexible Pavements. Wood (1993) 10 Optimum Moisture Content of 12% and Maximum Dry Density g/ the compaction curve it can also be seen that crusher dust attains higher densities with wider variation of moisture contents and increases the workability at high moisture …
Besides, knowing the optimum moisture content gave clear guidance for whether the soils being compacted should be made drier or wetter to make everyone's job easier. The Modified Proctor. In the latter part of World War ll and later into the 1950s, heavier dynamic loads from larger aircraft and heavier, more frequent truck traffic were placing greater demand on …
optimum moisture content at time of compaction ( Optimum MC=20%, acceptable range is 16-24%). EARTHWORK SECTION 02300 - 4 2. Unsatisfactory soils also include those that are more corrosive than the current design requirements. D. Subbase Material: Naturally or artificially graded mixture of natural or crushed gravel, crushed stone, and natural or crushed sand; …
This paper dealt with a laboratory invesligalion into the factors that affect the compaction of crushed stone. The influence of grading and the shape and texture of the aggregates on compactabllIty was evaluated, and a method was given whereby the compactability of crushed stone can be predicted. The influence of moisture content was also investigated and it was …

The optimum moisture content in relation to density of a soil is normally tested in a soil laboratory using the Standard Proctor Density (SPD) test. The best way to compact cohesive soils, such as clay and silt, is with a low amplitude vibratory roller or rammer ("jumping jack") as they effectively remove air and force the particles closer together. For very heavy clays, a …
