Comparison of Reduced Modified Proctor vs Modified Proctor

Shaivan, H. S. / Sridharan, A.

Abstract The compaction characteristics between reduced modified Proctor and modified Proctor tests have been compared. The results show that maximum dry unit weight values are comparable for both the tests but optimum moisture content values differ slightly more. For both the tests: optimum moisture content was found to correlate best with liquid limit, and the relationship for maximum dry unit weight with optimum moisture content was found to be almost the same. Since reduced modified Proctor requires less time and 40% less compaction energy as compared to modified Proctor test, it can be considered as a suitable alternative to the modified Proctor test.
