Compute both wet and dry unit weights of compacted specimen

Reference no: EM13316134

A compaction test was conducted in a soils laboratory, and the standard proctor compaction procedure (ASTM D698) was used. The weight of a compacted soil specimen plus mold was determined to be 3815 g. The volume and weight of the mold were 1/30ft^3 and 2050 g respectively. The water content of the specimen was 9.1%. Compute both the wet and dry unit weights of the compacted specimen.
