THE PURPOSE WAS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF LARGER SIZE FRACTIONS OF GRAVEL IN SOIL ON MAXIMUM DENSITY AND OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT, AND TO ASCERTAIN IF IT WOULD GIVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS TO MAKE THE COMPACTION TEST ON SAMPLES CONTAINING THE MATERIAL RETAINED ON THE NO. 4 SIEVE UP TO 3/4 IN. THE COMMON PRACTICE IS TO MAKE THE TEST ON THE MATERIAL PASSING THE NO. 4 SIEVE AND MAKE A CORRECTION FOR THE EFFECT OF THE LARGER MATERIAL. COMPARATIVE TESTS WERE MADE ON SAMPLES CONTAINING THE MATERIAL RETAINED ON THE NO. 4 SIEVE AND SAMPLES PASSING THE SAME SIEVE. IN THESE TESTS THE SAMPLES CONTAINING THE COARSER MATERIAL GAVE GREATER VALUES FOR MAXIMUM DENSITY AND SMALLER VALUES FOR OPTIMUM MOISTURE THAN DID THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH THE COARSE PARTICLER HAD BEEN REMOVED. THIS INDICATES THAT DATA FROM SAMPLES CONTAINING ALL FRACTIONS AS RECEIVED ARE NECESSARY FOR APPLICATION TO FIELD CONDITION. THE USE OF LARGER MOLDS WAS INVESTIGATED WITHOUT DISCLOSING ANY VARIANCE FROM THE FOREGOING RESULTS. /AUTHOR/
