Soil Moisture-Density Analysis Report

The document presents the moisture-density relationship of silty sand with gravel, detailing various measurements of wet and dry soil mass, moisture content, and dry density across multiple trials. It concludes with the maximum dry density of 2.04 gm/cc and an optimum moisture content of 7.3%. The specific gravity used in calculations is 2.66.
