Ref. Standard:  IS: 2720 (Part VII) 

EKE 110 :

Soil compaction is a fundamental requirement for the construction of earth fill for dams, reservoirs, canal embankments, highways, railways and runways. The relation ship between soil moisture content and compacted dry density is very useful for deciding construction specifications and quality control of compacted earth fill. While designing an earth retaining structure , the strength and deformation behavior of soil is evaluated by testing soil specimen compaction to the density as would  be achieved during construction. The construction quality control is essentially    to check the density of compacted soil achieved in the fields, thereby checking strength.
