    This document provides instructions for determining the in-situ dry density of soils using the core cutter method. It lists the necessary equipment, including a core cutter and balance, and outlines the steps to measure the bulk density, moisture content, and dry density of soil samples. The bulk density is calculated by dividing the net wet weight of the soil by the internal volume of the core cutter. The moisture content is determined from the wet and dry masses of each sample. Finally, the dry density is calculated using the bulk density and moisture content values.
