The Moisture Condition Value (MCV) is determined from a moisturecondition test, a physical test indicating how much compactive effort is needed tocompact a sample of soil at a particular moisture content. Compactive effort isprovided by dropping a captive weight vertically a known distance on to a sample ofsoil in a cylindrical mould, and measuring compaction. By counting blows to give therequired compaction it will be possible to establish a MCV for a soil at aparticular moisture content.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
