Field Density Test Using Sand Cone Method by Louie Pascua is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The sand cone method is used to test the field density of soil layers during highway construction. The test measures the dry density of compacted layers and compares it to the maximum dry density to check that the required compaction percentage is met. Standards require subbase layers to be at least 98% compacted and base layers to be at least 95% compacted. The testing procedure involves measuring the weight of an empty sand cone, filling it with soil, and calculating the dry density based on the weights a
