There arc methods that are useful in this field of research, such as Proctor and uniaxial compaction tests. The Proctor tests determines the maximum BD ([BD.sub.max]), and critical soil water content ([WC.sub.crit]), which represent the bulk density and moisture at which soil compaction is highest.
