Following are the results of a field unit weight determination test on a soil using the Sand Cone Method. Determine the field unit weight of the soil. FEEDBACK GUARANTEED
![Calibration:
Determination of mass of sand to fill the cone:
Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.25 kg
Mass of jar + cone +sand (after use) = 6.09 kg
Determination of dry density of the sand:
Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.28 kg
Mass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 4.62 kg
Volume of the mold
=
943.333 cm³
Determination of the field unit weight:
Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.27 kg
Mass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 3.18 kg
