In the standard proctor test, the number of layers of soil used for compaction is:

Options:

A) 2

B) 3

C) 4

D) 5

Explanation:

In the Standard Proctor Test (used to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of soil), the soil is compacted in a mould in 5 equal layers. Each layer is compacted by 25 blows of a standard rammer. This procedure ensures uniform compaction and helps in accurately determining the soil’s compaction characteristics.
