Proctor compaction test

The Proctor compaction test is a standard laboratory test used in soil engineering to determine the optimal moisture content at which a soil type will achieve its maximum dry density when compacted. This test is essential in civil engineering and construction, particularly for evaluating the suitability of soil for use as a foundation material and for earthworks. ### Key Objectives of the Proctor Test: 1. **Determine Optimal Moisture Content**: Identify the moisture content at which the soil can be compacted most effectively.
