Following are the results of a field dry unit weight determination test on a compacted soil by using the sand cone method with a custom-made, non-conventional sand-cone device: · . ● . . . (A) Calibrated dry density of Ottawa sand - 1667 kg/m³ Calibrated mass of Ottawa sand to fill the cone - 0.117 kg Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) - 5.99 kg Mass of jar + cone + sand (after use) - 2.81 kg Mass of moist soil removed from hole - 3.331 kg Moisture content of moist soil - 11.6% Determine the dry unit weight of compaction in the field. (Show all pertinent volume-weight relationships and calculations.) (B) If the relative compaction in the field is reported to be 95.8%, what was the maximum dry unit weight of compaction obtained in the laboratory? (Show all pertinent volume-weight relationships and calculations.)
