Your field technician has performed a series of unit weight and moisture content readings as shown in the table below. If your recommendations specify a minimum relative density of 98% of the Standard Proctor and+/2% of the optimum moisture content, does the soil in the field meet your recommendations?Explain your reasoning.compaction
