Dry Density of Soil given Percent Compaction of Soil in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Density from Sand Cone Test = (Percent Compaction*Maximum Dry Density)/100
ρ_dsc = (C*γ_dmax)/100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Density from Sand Cone Test - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density from Sand Cone Test refers to the density of soil or aggregate after removing the moisture content through sand cone test.
Percent Compaction - Percent Compaction is the degree to which soil are compacted relative to their maximum achievable density. It is a measure of how much the soil has been compacted compared to its maximum density.
Maximum Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Maximum Dry Density is the highest density that a soil sample can achieve when compacted at its optimum moisture content under standard or modified effort.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Percent Compaction: 90 --> No Conversion Required
Maximum Dry Density: 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ρ_dsc = (C*γ_dmax)/100 --> (90*4.76)/100

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_dsc = 4.284

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Density from Sand Cone Test

Percent Moisture in Sand Cone Method

Go Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test = (100*(Weight of Moist Soil-Weight of Dry Soil))/Weight of Dry Soil

Density of Sand given Volume of Soil for Sand Filling in Sand Cone Method

Go Density of Sand = (Weight of Total Soil/Volume of Soil)

Volume of Soil for Sand Filling in Sand Cone Method

Go Volume of Soil = (Weight of Total Soil/Density of Sand)

Weight of Sand Filling Hole in Sand Cone Method

Go Weight of Total Soil = (Volume of Soil*Density of Sand)

Dry Density of Soil given Percent Compaction of Soil in Sand Cone Method Formula

Dry Density from Sand Cone Test = (Percent Compaction*Maximum Dry Density)/100
