Soil field density experiment was done by sand cone if you knew that the information below was done in the laboratory. Empty mold weight = kg 3.872 Weight of mold with sand = 5.225. kg Weight of sand = weight of the mold when it is empty - weight of the mold with sand 3.872 - 5.225 = kg 1.353 Mold size = cm'863.93 Device weight = 7.450 kg Weight of the device after unloading part of the sand = kg 5.485 pit height = cm 13 Weight of the device after digging the hole = kg 1.008 Weight of soil extracted from the pit = 3.2285 Metal container weights W1// E6 = 99.8 g E8 = 94 g E12 = 23 g W2 // E6 = 140.5 g E8 = 140.6 g E12 = 57.2 g W3 // E6 = 134.3 g E8 = 134.8 g E12 = 52.5 g 1_Calculate the moisture content 2_field density

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.
