Thank you, Tomas, Mohammed and Juan!
I'm not sure; but, I think the only faults are:
A. Score each layer previous to addition and compaction,
B. Your sample to be dried to determine moisture content of compacted soil is to be removed from the center of the center of the compacted mold specimen, so as to accurately represent the average moisutre content of the soil in the entIre mold.
My experience is that moisture %s of 5, 8, 11, 14 & 16, consistently, yield the best curves.

Anyone here after covid-19?

[@samsunget]

love this!! thanks sir

[@haseebrafiq9475]

Good work

[@lestertrinidad1654]

do you have a bigger mold?

[@ibsurfun]

I'll bet the curve is too light and that they go though a lot of molds.

try doing a 10 pound compaction in a cbr mould son. 62 blows per layer...5 layers! see how good you are. fucking wrecked is what!!!!
