Field Density Test Report

This document summarizes the results of a sand cone test (ASTM-D 1556) to determine the density of soil. The test was conducted on March 23rd, 2021 at a construction site in Beximco Industrial Park, Bangladesh. The dry unit weight of the soil was found to be 1.35 Mg/cm3. The maximum dry density from the test was 1.62 Mg/cm3. Comparing the field dry density to the maximum dry density showed a compaction of 83%.
