1. Weight of empty cutter (W1), g
2. Weight of cutter + wet soil (W2), g
3. Volume of core cutter (Vc) cm³
4. Weight ass of empty container (W3), g
5. Weight of container + wet soil (W4), g
6. Weight of container + dry soil (W5), g
7. Water content (w)=(W4-W5)/(W5-W3)
8. Field moist density ρt (kN/m³) = (W2-W1)/Vc
9. Dry density ρd (kN/m³) = ρt /(1+w)
10. Average density, Avg ρ
