Soils can experience over-compaction if the compactor makes too many passes over it. In fact, relative soil compaction test
results over 100% do not necessarily mean over-compaction because the relative compaction is based on the maximum dry
density of the soil obtained by the Proctor test and this does not necessarily refer to absolute maximum dry density.

Ball Mill
Speci cation
Over-compaction is considered undesirable because it may eventually create cracks in the underlying compacted material
so that it results in a decrease in density. Moreover, it causes waste of machine power and manpower which is undesirable.
This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering Different Fields of Civil
Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.

I think the question is basically, at what point over 100% is it not acceptable. FDOT requires a new proctor on
anything over 105%
I personally would like to know if ASTM has a cut off point.
