Field Compaction Measurement

Sand-Cone Measurement
Item / Trial Sample
Specimen number
M1 = Mass of Ottawa sand placed in the jar (grams)
M2 = Mass of Ottawa sand remained in the jar (grams)
M3 = Mass of Ottawa sand filling the cone (grams)
M4 = Mass of Ottawa sand filling the hole (grams)
rOttawa = Dry density of Ottawa sand (grams per cubic centimetre)
Vhole = Volume of the in-field hole (cubic centimetres)
Water Content Measurement
Moisture can and lid number
MC = Mass of empty, clean can + lid (grams)
MWC = Mass of can + lid + moist soil (grams)
MDC = Mass of can + lid + dry soil (grams)
MS = Mass of soil solids (grams)
MW = Mass of pore water (grams)
WC = Water content (percent)
In-Situ Dry Density Measurement
Mfield = Mass of wet soil removed from the in-field hole (cubic centimetres)
r = In-situ wet density of soil (grams per cubic centimetre)
rd = In-situ dry density of soil (grams per cubic centimetre)

Relative Compaction Measurement

Item / Trial Sample
rmax = Maximum dry density of soil (grams per cubic centimetre)
rd = In-situ dry density of soil (grams per cubic centimetre)
Vhole = Volume of the in-field hole (cubic centimetres)
Comment: Relative compaction is satisfactory since field dry density ≥ lab dry density
