Conclusion

In conclusion, the test of determining the field density of soil using the sand
replacement method proved to be a reliable technique for assessing the in-situ density of
compacted soil. The pouring cylinder was used to collect data, enabling the calculation of
moisture content, bulk density, and dry density. However, it is important to acknowledge the
potential for experimental errors. Insufficient sand quantity may lead to non-representative
soil samples, impacting density calculations. Variations in hole depth and the presence of
impurities can also introduce uncertainties in density measurements. Despite these
considerations, by being mindful of these factors and implementing necessary precautions,
the test can provide valuable insights into field density. Supplementing with multiple tests
and quality control measures further enhances accuracy and reliability. Overall, the sand
replacement method offers practicality in evaluating soil density for engineering and
construction applications.
