    Soil compaction is important for construction projects. There are different types of compaction equipment including vibratory rollers. To test soil compaction, a procedure involves excavating soil from a hole and determining the moisture content and weight of the sample, and comparing it to a control sample in a jar. The density and moisture content measurements allow assessment of how well the soil has been compacted.

    ASST. PROFESSOR III
    Common Types of Compaction Equipment
    Vibratory Rollers
    Procedure 1
    Procedure 2
    W1 = weight of the jar, the cone, and the sand filling the jar is determined
    W2 = the weight of the moist soil excavated from the hole
    W = the moisture content of the excavated soil
    W4 = the combined weight of the jar, the cone, and the remaining sand in the jar
