The nuclear density is compared to the maximum dry density to calculate the percent density and the moisture content from the nuclear gauge is compared to the optimum moisture limits.

Exercise 8: Soil Compaction
sites.psu.educurve plots above the zero-air-voids curve. The results obtained are 1.86g/cm^3 for the maximum dry density and 13.6% for the optimum moisture content (Figure 1). Based on the theory, there is a critical point where the soil has maximum dry density. Increasing or decreasing the moisture content from OMC would result in lower dry density.

Soil Density - Standard vs Modified Proctor
www.mrkeystone.netStandard Proctor density except for fine grained soils (ie: clay) where the difference may be significantly larger. ∗ Modified Proctor testing typically requires a lower optimum moisture content for achieving maximum density which is desirable for Keystone retaining wall construction and performance especially with silts and silty soils.
