    This document summarizes a lab experiment on determining the unit weight of various soil samples. It includes an introduction, objectives, materials used, procedures followed, results obtained from testing coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and their combinations. Tables show the mass of empty vessels, vessels filled with compacted and loose soil, and calculations of bulk density, void ratio and unit weights. The conclusion compares the calculated bulk densities and unit weights.
