View Important System Requirements for running this course.
Compaction is the process of compacting soils by removing air from voids with repeated application of mechanical energy. Purpose of compacting soils in the field is to systematically improve its engineering properties, e.g. increasing shear strength, increasing bearing capacity, reducing settlement potential, and reducing permeability or hydraulic conductivity. Almost all civil engineering projects require compaction of soils in form or the other. This video presents commonly used methods to perform compaction tests in the laboratory.

Learning Objectives:
- Various steps involved in placing an engineered fill at a site
- Various unit weights of soil sample
- Laboratory compaction based on Standard and Modified Proctor tests
- Moisture-density relationship
- Optimum moisture content and maximum dry density and its practical application
- Understanding Zero-Air-Void (ZAV) line
- Possible errors associated with the test (ZAV) line
