About This Product
Heavy compaction applies more compactive effort than light compaction, and it is used to find the relationship between moisture content and dry density of a soil. The soil is placed in the mould in layers, and each layer is compacted by blows of the rammer dropped through its controlled fall. The dry density is then plotted against moisture content to find the maximum dry density and the optimum moisture content. Civil engineering students use it to learn how compaction is controlled for earth fill.
