Unit Weight Analysis of Sakhakote Soil

This document describes methods for determining the unit weight of soil samples. It provides the results of unit weight tests on two Sakhakote soil samples, with an average wet unit weight of 112.05 lb/cu ft and dry unit weight of 104.15 lb/cu ft. Tables and graphs are included showing the results, such as specimen number, moisture content, mass of various components, and a bar graph comparing number of tests to unit weight.

4.2 Unit weight determination:
(a) Unit weight of Sakhakote soil:
The unit weight of soil is carried out on two samples and average value is found out Bar
graph between number of tests and unit weight is also plotted. The average values are wet
unit weight = 112.05lb/cu ft and dry unit weight = 104.15lb/cu ft the calculation and graph
are given as:
