Weight of Soil in Sand Cone Method Formula Elements

Variables
Weight of Total Soil
Weight of Total Soil is the total weight of soil present in a given volume of earth. It helps to determine the current density of the soil after compaction efforts.
Symbol: Wt
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Field Density from Sand Cone Test
Field Density from Sand Cone Test is the in-situ density of natural or compacted soils. By determining the in-situ density of soil, we can make informed decisions to achieve the necessary strength.
Symbol: ρfd
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Volume of Soil
Volume of Soil is the amount of space occupied by soil particles, voids, and air within a given volume of soil mass.
Symbol: V
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
