- 1As moisture content increases up to the optimum moisture content (OMC), compaction becomes easier and dry density increases.✓
- 2The lower the moisture content, the easier it is to achieve the maximum dry density.
- 3The moisture content of soil does not affect the compaction process at all.
- 4The moisture content of soil affects the compaction of cohesive soils only.
Correct answer
As moisture content increases up to the optimum moisture content (OMC), compaction becomes easier and dry density increases.
