Modified Proctor Test

The Modified Proctor Test is a geotechnical procedure used to determine the maximum dry density and optimal moisture content of soil for construction. It involves compacting soil samples at different moisture levels using a specific amount of force, then measuring how dense the soil becomes. This helps engineers understand how to properly prepare and compact soil to achieve stability and strength in foundations, roads, or embankments. The test ensures that the soil has the right moisture and compaction for safe, durable engineering performance.
