Percent Moisture Content given Dry Density of Soil in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test = 100*((Bulk Density of Soil/Dry Density from Sand Cone Test)-1)
M_sc = 100*((γ_t/ρ_dsc)-1)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test - Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test is a measure of the amount of water present in a soil sample, expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the soil.
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 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bulk Density of Soil: 12 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 12 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Dry Density from Sand Cone Test: 4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_sc = 100*((γ_t/ρ_dsc)-1) --> 100*((12/4.284)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

M_sc = 180.112044817927

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

180.112044817927 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

180.112044817927 ≈ 180.112 <-- Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test
