    A field density test was conducted to determine compaction of soil. The test involved measuring masses and volumes to calculate bulk density of sand and soil, moisture content of soil, dry density of soil, and degree of compaction. The dry density was found to be 1.66 Mg/m3, maximum dry density was 1.76 Mg/m3, optimum moisture content was 2.4%, and degree of compaction was 94.5% passing requirement.
