In one of my previous article I have already explained the field density test calculations that are performed after carrying out the tests. In that post I have discussed about the sand replacement method and core cutter method of field density test.
view moreDry Density of Soil by Core Cutter Method Cylindrical core cutters of 130mm long and 100mm diameter are used for testing the in-situ compaction of cohesive and clay soils placed as fill. By using core cutter method, bulk density of soil can be quickly calculated and by determining the moisture content of the soil the dry density of the fill can be calculated and hence the voids percentage.

Of these, the sand replacement and core cutter methods are the more widely used. Atterberg Limits Test. This test is done on the fine-grained soil to measure its critical water content.
view moreThe calculations of field density test by Core cutter method are very easy as compared with the sand replacement method. However, the steps involved in the calculation are listed below :- Volume of cylinder is calculated ; V = ((pi x d x d ) / 4 ) x h ; where d is internal dia of mould; h is height of the mould.
view moreBy conducting this test it is possible to determine the field density of the soil. The moisture content is likely to vary from time and hence the field density also. So it is required to report the test result in terms of dry density. The relationship that can be established between the dry density with known moisture content is as follows:

view moreIt is some times required to compare the density of the soil solids to the density of water. This comparison is in the form of ratio and is termed as the specific gravity of the soil. Together with the soil moisture content and unit weight, specific gravity is frequently used to solve for the various phase relationship s, such as void ratio, porosity, and degree of saturation.
