    Field Density Test by Sand Replacement Method

    Uploaded by

    J Marees Kumar Thangarathinam
    This document provides details of a field density test conducted on a section of a highway project in Tamil Nadu, India. The test involves measuring the weight of wet material extracted from a test pit, filling the pit with sand using a calibrated pouring cylinder, and calculating the bulk density and moisture content to determine the field dry density and compaction percentage. The test results will indicate if compaction meets the required acceptance criteria. Calibration details of the pouring cylinder used in the test are also included.
