Field Density of Soil given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bulk Density of Soil = (Dry Density*(1+(Percent Moisture/100)))
γ_t = (ρ_d*(1+(M/100)))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bulk Density of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk Density of Soil is the mass of soil per unit volume. It includes both the soil particles and the pore spaces between them.
Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density is a measure of the mass of solids per unit volume of soil, excluding the pore spaces filled with water or air. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume.
Percent Moisture - Percent Moisture is the amount of water present in a soil sample, usually expressed as a percentage of the soil's dry weight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Density: 10 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 10 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Percent Moisture: 0.037 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_t = (ρ_d*(1+(M/100))) --> (10*(1+(0.037/100)))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_t = 10.0037

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.0037 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.0037 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Bulk Density of Soil

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)

Field Density of Soil given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method Formula

Bulk Density of Soil = (Dry Density*(1+(Percent Moisture/100)))
γ_t = (ρ_d*(1+(M/100)))

What is Dry Density of Soil?

Dry density is calculated by dividing the weight of the wet soil by its water content in percent. The percent compaction for the field density test is calculated by dividing the dry density of the soil by the maximum dry density from the proctor test.

How to Calculate Field Density of Soil given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method?

Field Density of Soil given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method calculator uses Bulk Density of Soil = (Dry Density*(1+(Percent Moisture/100))) to calculate the Bulk Density of Soil, The Field Density of Soil given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method formula is defined as the in-situ density of natural or compacted soils. The test involves using a calibrated cone apparatus and sand to measure the volume of a hole dug in the soil. The weight of the sand that fills the hole is then used to calculate the density of the soil in place. Bulk Density of Soil is denoted by γ_t symbol.
