Reference no: EM13550288

During construction of a highway project, a soil sample was taken from compacted earth for a sand-cone in place denstiy test. The following data were obtained from the test. Weight of sand used to fill test hole and funnel of sand-cone device= 845 g. Weight of sand to fill funnel = 323 g. Unit weight of sand = 100lb/ft^3. Weight of wet soil from test hole= 648 g. Moisture content of soil from test hole = 16%. Calculate the dry unit weight of the compacted earth fill.
