Question

Following are the results of a field unit weight determination test performed by
means of the sand cone method:
• Calibrated dry density of Ottawa sand = 104 lb/ft3
• Mass of Ottawa sand to fill the cone = 0.258 lb
• Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 13.21 lb
• Mass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 6.2 lb
• Mass of moist soil from hole = 7.3 lb
• Moisture content of moist soil = 11.6%
Determine: Dry unit weight of compaction in the field.
