Specifications on a job required a fill using borrowed soil to be compacted at 95% of its standard Proctor maximum dry density. Tests indicate that the maximum is 19.5 kN/m3 with 12% moisture. The borrow material has a void ratio of 0.60 and a solid specific gravity of 2.65. Compute the dry unit weight of the compacted soil.
