This video discusses how the Proctor test is performed, the difference between the standard Proctor test and the modified Proctor test. Typical compaction specifications are outlined and the influence of compaction energy on the optimum moisture content for compaction is explained.
Videos designed and presented by Declan Phillips PhD P.E. and Alan O Reilly BE and the generous support of the National Forum for Teaching & Learning, the Higher Education Authority and the Department of Education and Skills. For further information of CIVIL@UL
