    35 COMPACTED ROAD BASE AND SUBBASE SOILS | FIELD DENSITY

    FIELD DENSITY
    Sand replacement method
    The verification of the degree of compaction can be determined on site with a simple procedure that essentially
    involves removing and weighing a section of compacted soil and then refilling the hole with sand. A simple ap-
    paratus is used to record the volume of sand, and then the density of the removed soil can be calculated.
