DENSITY CALCULATION (CORECUTTER METHOD)

( IS 2720 Part 29 - 1975 )

Sample No :
Date of Test : 12.09.2020

Name of Project : Conducting Field Density & Compaction Test at “ ”.

Core cutter (Height) = 13.0 cm

Core cutter (Diameter) = 10.0 cm
Empty Wt of Core cutter = 948.40 gm
Weight of Core cutter + Soil = 2972.00 gm
Weight of Soil = 2023.60 gm
Volume of Core cutter = (∏/4*D2)*H
= 1020.5 cc
Field density (γw) = Weight of Soil / Volume of Core cutter
= 1.983 gm/cc
= 19.45 kN/m3

Tare Number 1 2

Wt of Tare (W) gm 24.2 22.4

Tare + Wet Soil (W1) gm 44.2 42.4

Tare + Dry Soil (W2) gm 43.2 41.4

Wt of Water (W3 = W1-W2) gm 1 1

Wt Dry Soil (W4 = W2-W) gm 19 19

Water Content (%) = (W3 / W4)*100 5.263158 5.263

Average Water Content (%) 5

Moisture Content (w) = 5 %

Field Dry density (γd) = Field density / (1+(w/100))
= 18.53 kN/m3
RESULT :
Field density (γw) = 19.45 KN/m3
Fied Dry density (γd) = 18.53 KN/m3
Maximum dry density = 19.02 kN/m3
% of Compaction = (Field dry density/ Max dry density) x100
= 97.40 %
