The results of a field unit weight determination test


The results of a field unit weight determination test performed by means of the sand cone method are as follows:

Calibrated dry unit weight of Ottawa sand = 104 pcf

weight of Ottawa sand to fill the cone = 0.258 lb

weight of jar + cone + sand (before use)= 13.21lb

weight of jar + cone+ sand (after use)= 6.2 lb

weight of moist soil from hole= 7.3 lb

moisture content of moist soil= 11.6%

Determine the dry unit weight of compaction in the field
