Hi Basically what I mean is if you look at the graph of dry density vs MC the peak gives us the OMC and the maximum dry density. If the peak of the curve can be increased with say modified proctor then the OMC will also change. So what I am saying is whether the soil natural MC is changed should...

Hi, If the contractor obtained the correct max dry density then any increase in moisture content would just affect only the optimum moisture content with a corresponding increase in the max dry density and overall it should not influence the 100 % proctor or whatever specification ( say 95 - 100...

Hi, Thanks for all the input. I used the SPT with soild augers. What I did is basically to use solid augers and then pulled them out, installed the rod with the spoon, drove them for the 18 inches. Since it was cohesionless soils, and under water table the blow count indicated the soil to be...

Hi I used solid stem augers. I am wondering whether if I used hollow stem augers I would have obtained higher values. thanks

Hi What are the implications of using solid augers in cohesionless soils below the water table. I am getting very low counts. Thanks
