Question
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) = 13.21 lb
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.
