METHOD A7 THE DETERMINATION OF THE MAXIMUM DRY …
asphalt.csir.co.zaThe maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, as defined below, is determined by establishing the moisture-density relationship of the material when prepared and compacted at the Modified AASHTO compaction effort at different moisture contents. Definition Maximum density: The maximum density of a material for a specific compactive effort
