Determining clay compaction value in lab.
Determining clay compaction value in lab.
(OP)
Hi !
I have been a long time lurker of this forum. Here is my first post.
I want to know how can I find the maximum compaction value (Proctor) of clay in a lab. Do I proceed the same way as standard soils with a mechanical Proctor hammer? Or is there a different procedure.
Thank you for your inputs !

Wait until the off season, and hire all the local farmers to bring their water buffaloes in.
I agree that the Harvard Mini should provide a more realistic duplication of the compaction process. The biggest problem is that it is........miniature.
Test fills are often the best way to go if circumstances permit.
