The document summarizes the results of a modified compaction test conducted on a soil sample from project location Addis Ababa. The test was conducted to determine the maximum dry density (MDD) of 1.880 g/cm3 and optimum moisture content (OMC) of 16.75% for the soil. It includes the trial results showing weights and densities at different moisture contents, and a graph plotting the dry density against moisture content with an MDD of 1.890 g/cm3. The test was conducted by the laboratory expert and checked by the senior geotechnical engineer.
