    The document reports on a test to determine the moisture-density relationship of a soil sample. Five bulk density tests were conducted by adding different amounts of water to the soil sample and measuring the wet and dry density. Additional tests measured the moisture content of portions of the wet soil. A graph shows that dry density peaks at around 19% moisture content, indicating the optimum moisture content (OMC) for compaction. Test results found the maximum dry density (MDD) to be 1.444 g/cm3 at 19.0% OMC. The contractor and consultant technicians and engineers signed off on the test results.
