Describe is the compaction satisfactory in labratory tests

Reference no: EM13297934

Specifications require 96% compaction on a project. Maximum dry unit weight was found to be 114lb/ft^3 at a water content of 13.5% in labratory tests. Results of a field unit weight test were dry unit weight=111lb/ft^3 and a water content 11%. A sample in the field contained about 15% gravel sizes. Is the compaction satisfactory?
