This is a continuation of the previous article I posted How to do a compaction test or In-situ density test, about calculation of the test report. Here we are going to compute the bulk density of sand down to the degree of compaction of soil.
I would really want to pursue this article just to completely show the full process of getting the results of test from taking the samples into calculations. So every site engineer, project engineer, and consultant inspector, as well as engineering students should know how it is done. This would be a guide and help them learn the procedures.
Here are the steps of calculations to determine the compaction test or In-situ density test report.
1. Compute the Bulk Density of sand.
The calculation of bulk density of sand shall be made in the laboratory before moving on to the site. Here are the values tabulated below.
