Light & Heavy proctor test of Soil

Light Proctor Test of Soil:

The Light Proctor Test is conducted to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of soil using a standard compactive effort. This test is commonly used for soils in small-scale or less critical construction projects.
Test Method: IS: 2720 (Part 7) - 1980

Heavy Proctor Test of Soil:

The Heavy Proctor Test determines the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content using a higher compactive effort. It is typically used for soils in heavily loaded structures such as highways, airfields, and dams.
Test Method: IS: 2720 (Part 8) - 1983
