Remember the peak density concept.
Define MDD.

Think about what happens after reaching OMC.
Is it true or false that increased compaction always results in higher density?
Consider how different soils react to the same compaction.
A construction site is observing a density drop after OMC is reached. What adjustments could engineers make to improve stability?
Think about prior topics discussed regarding compaction and moisture.
