Abstract
Soil Compaction test is a preliminary test in the laboratory to obtain soil compaction parameters in the field, such as optimum water content and maximum dry density of soil. In determining the parameters, a hammer was pounded to the soil sample induced dynamic energy. However, In the field, compaction was conducted in static conditions using drum roller. This research conducted a static compacting test as an approach to match the compaction in the field. In this research cohesive soil was used as the soil sample. The compaction energy of the static method is normally not measured; hence this research is dedicated to developing a technique to obtaining the actual energy to enable the same energy as was done using the conventional dynamic test. Base on the Static Compaction Energy in the laboratory test, the maximum dry density and optimum water content sample can be best simulated the actual field compaction condition.
