Relates to the peak density of packed soil.
What happens to soil density after reaching Optimum Moisture Content?

What is the maximum dry density in soil compaction?
Remember the peak condition!
True or False: Increasing water content beyond OMC always improves density.
Think about the sponge analogy!
If a construction team added excess water to soil beyond OMC, describe the potential impacts on structural integrity.
Think about the foundation strength in damp conditions.
Propose a method to determine the optimal moisture content for a new construction site known for varying soil types.
