This Standard sets out the method for assigning maximum dry density and optimum moisture content values. The method is applicable only to very uniform materials and, therefore, usually is confined to manufactured materials such as crushed rocks that have been produced under controlled conditions.

This Standard sets out the method for assigning maximum dry density and optimum moisture content values. The method is applicable only to very uniform materials and, therefore, usually is confined to manufactured materials such as crushed rocks that have been produced under controlled conditions.NOTE: Occasionally, unprocessed materials, such as gravels and sands, will be found to meet the required criteria in Table 1. Due to the nature of the deposition and the composition of unprocessed materials, the MDD and OMC may vary throughout the deposit. Checks need to be made, as detailed in Clause 4(e), each time the unprocessed materials are used to ensure that the assigned values are still applicable.
