Result

1. Weight of wet soil from the hole,W= gm
2. Water content of the soil,w= %
3. Weight of sand that fills thehole= gm
4. Volume of the hole Vh=Ws/ s = cm³
5. Bulk density of the soil t = W/Vh = gm/cm³
6. Dry density d = t/(1+w)= gm/ cm³
7. Dry density ofsoil= g/cm3
8. Water content of the soil= %

Conclusion:

The dry density of the soilis _________ g/cc. Comparing with the in-situ density by core cutter method, more or less the same value is achieved. The type of soil is siltyclay.
