Question
During the completion of a construction project, a soil sample was taken from an area of
compacted earth fill for a sand-cone in-place density test. The following were obtained from the
results of the test:
• Weight of sand used to fill the test hole and the funnel of the sand-cone device = 845 g
• Weight of sand to fill the funnel of the sand-cone device = 323 g
• Unit weight of sand = 15.71 kN/m3
• Weight of wet soil excavated from test hole = 622 g
• Moisture content of the soil excavated from the test hole = 16%
