The AASHTO standard for the modified Proctor test is designated as AASHTO T 180. This test method is used to determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soil using a 10-pound hammer dropped from a height of 18 inches, compacting the soil in a mold in five layers. It is commonly used for assessing the compaction characteristics of soil for engineering and construction purposes.
