Building / Area test.
Date of Testing
Test Location
Lab MDD gm/cm3
Level Lab OMC %
Calibration Of Apparatus:
Sr. No Bulk Density of Sand
1 Weight of sand in cone - W2 gms
3
2 Volume of the calibrating container - V cm
3 Weight of sand + cylinder before pouring - W1 gms
4 Weight of sand + cylinder after pouring - W3 gms
5 Weight of sand to ill calibrating container Wa = (W1 - W3 - W2) gms
3
6 Bulk density of sand Ys = Wa/V gm/cm
Sr. No Compaction Test Procedure Determination No.
A) Bulk Density of Soil 1 2 3
1 Wt. of wet soil from hole = Ww gms.
2 Weight of sand + cylinder before pouring W1
3 Weight of sand + cylinder after pouring W4
4 Wt. of sand in hole = Wb = (W1 - W4 - W2) gms.
Ww x Ys
5 Bulk density of soil Yb = gm/cm3
Wb
B) Moisture Content:
6 Rapid Moisture Meter Reading (m)
7 Corrected Moisture Content % [w =100*m/(100-m)]
Yb
8 Dry density Yd = gm/cm3
1 + w / 100
9 Degree of Compaction in Percentage (%)
7 Avg. Degree of Compaction (Minimum 98 %)
Remarks (If Any): Test Passed and allowed for the next activity / Recommended for recompaction and retesting.
