Weight of Soil in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Total Soil = (Field Density from Sand Cone Test*Volume of Soil)
W_t = (ρ_fd*V)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Total Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Total Soil is the total weight of soil present in a given volume of earth. It helps to determine the current density of the soil after compaction efforts.
Field Density from Sand Cone Test - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Field Density from Sand Cone Test is the in-situ density of natural or compacted soils. By determining the in-situ density of soil, we can make informed decisions to achieve the necessary strength.
Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Soil is the amount of space occupied by soil particles, voids, and air within a given volume of soil mass.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Field Density from Sand Cone Test: 4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Soil: 20 Cubic Meter --> 20 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_t = (ρ_fd*V) --> (4*20)

Evaluating ... ...

W_t = 80

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

80 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

80 Kilogram <-- Weight of Total Soil
