A balloon-type apparatus is used to perform a field density test. The volume of the test hole determined by reading the water level graduations on the apparatus cylinder before and after digging the test hole is 0.0007 cu.m. The wet weight of soil obtained from the test hole is 0.0138 kN. The water content is determine to be 14% by drying a small sample on a field stove. If the tested soil as a compacted fill whose maximum density from laboratory compaction tests is 18.57 kN/m3 .Wet unit weight (Ans: 19.71 kN/ ) Dry unit weight of the tested soil (Ans: 17.29 kN/ )
