5.10 From Figure 5.23, the optimum moisture content= 16.0% and maximum dry
density = 17 .15 kN/m'. Specifications require that:
a. 16.0% < wme1 < 19.0%, and
b. Ye1) > 0.95 17.15 (=16.30) kN/m
Thus, the control test measurements must fall within the shaded zone in the figure
to meet the specifications.

Control Test 1: Lies to the left of the shaded zone. Dry unit weight is adequate,
however, the moisture content is too low (i.e. too dry). Does not meet the
specifications.
Control Test 2: Falls within the shaded zone and meets the specifications.
Control Test 3: The dry unit weight is adequate (in fact, well in excess of the
required minimum value of 16.3 kN/m), but the water content is slightly high and
falls outside the range. This does not meet the specifications. Another problem
is that the control test point lies to the right of the zero air void curve, which is not
possible theoretically. Either the control test measurement is incorrect or the
assumed G, value is incorrect. This has to be checked. A larger G, value would
shift the zero air void curve upwards.
Control Test 4: Lies within the shaded zone and, hence, meets the specifications.
5.11 From Figure 5.24, the optimum moisture content= 10.0% and the maximum dry
unit weight= 18.5 kN/m. Specifications require that:
a. 8.5% < we1< 11.5%
b. Yaei)> 17.6 kN/m? (i.e. 0.95x 18.5 kN/m')
While the dry unit weight of the compacted soil meets the specification, the
moisture content lies outside the specified range (i.e. the soil is too wet).
It does meet the specification.
