DETERMINATION OF IN-SITU DENSITY BY SAND REPLACEMENT METHOD

Determination of Water content of soil collected from the hole:

Weight of empty container (W5) =---------- g



Weight of container + wet soil (W6) =----- g



Weight of container + dry soil (W7) =----- g



Water content (w) = (W6-W7)/(W7-W5)



Dry density of sand *d = *t/(1+w)=---------g/cm3
