4. Procedures
It is similar to the Proctor test, at this moment we do only 3 specimens which hit 10,
30, and 65 blows respectively.
1) First of all, we weighed water 3 jars of 720g corresponding to the OMC 12% gained from
the Proctor test. And cement 240g with 6kg of soil.

2) Mixed cement, soil, and water to get a homogenous mixture.

3) Weigh empty mold, 𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒍𝒅

4) Use the proctor damn mixture 10 blows per layer till 5 layers and weigh it we get
𝒎𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆+𝒎𝒐𝒍𝒅 , and do the same by hitting 30 and 65 blows to 2 other samples.

5) Turn up to down the sample to have the bottom surface penetrated under the machine

6) Lastly, we take note of all the data by reading the watch linking to the machine.
