Question

The compaction energy used for standard proctor test is ___________

(a) 595 kJ/m^3

(b) 300 kJ/m^3

(c) 6065 kJ/m^3

(d) 1000 kJ/m^3

The question was asked in an international level competition.

I'd like to ask this question from Compaction topic in section Compaction of Geotechnical Engineering I

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) 595 kJ/m^3

To explain: The compaction energy used in the proctor test is 6065 kg cm per 1000 ml of soil which is equal to 595kJ/m^3.
