IS : 2720 ( Part XXXIV) - 1972

Indian Standard
METHODS OF TEST FOR SOILS
PART XXXIV DETERMINATION OF DENSITY OF SOIL
IN·PLACE BY RUBBER-BALLOON METHOD

o. FOR E WaR D
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part XXXIV) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 31 January 1972, after the draft finalized hy the
Soil Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 With a view to establish uniform procedures for the determination of
different characteristics of soils and also for facilitating comparative
studies of the results, the Indian Standards Institution is bringing out this
'Indian Standard Methods of test for soils' (IS: 2720) which is being
published in parts. This part deals with the procedure for the determina-
tion of the density in-place of compacted or firmly bonded soil using a
rubber-balloon apparatus. The in-place density of natural soil is needed
for the determination of bearing capacity of soils, for the purpose of stability
analysis of natural slopes, for the determination of pressures on underlying
strata for calculation of settlement, etc. In compacted soils the in-place
density is needed to check the amount of compaction that the soil has
undergone for comparison with design data.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in I his field
in this country.
0.4 I n reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this
standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it
shall be done in accordance with IS: 2-1960·.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part XXXIV) covers the procedure for determining
the density in-place of compacted or firmly bonded soil using a rubber-
balloon apparatus. This method is not suitable for very soft soils which
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (r'lJiud).

will deform under slight pressure or in which the volume of the hole cannot
he maintained at a constant value.

2. APPARATUS

2.1 Calibrated Vessel-dpsigned to contain a liquid with a relatively

thin, flexible elastic membrane ( rubber-balloon) for measuring the volume
of the test hole under the conditions of this method (see Fig. I ). The cali-
brated equipment may also he a graduated glass cylinder provided with a
suitable guard and guard base with provisions for attachment of the
elastic membrane without leakage. The graduations shall be such that the
volumes can be read accurate to 5 ml. The apparatus shall be equipped -so
that an externally controlled pressure or partial vacuum can be applied to
the contained liquid (see Note I). Suitable provision shall also be made
for the measurement of I he pressure applied. It shall be of such weight
and size that it will not cause distortion or
the excavated test hole and
adjacent test are" during the performance of the test. Provision may be
made for placing weights (surcharge) on the apparatus, if necessary, when
the weight of the apparatus itself is not sufficient to hold it down during the
test. The flexible membranes shall be of such sizes as to fill the test holes
completely without wrinkles or folds when inflated within the test holes,
and their strength shall be sufficient to withstand such pressures as are
necessary to ensure complete filling- of the test holes (Jrt Note 2).
NUTE I Any arrangement for providmg pressui e and partial vacuum which doe.
not Impair the porrabrlitv of the apparatus may be used. A convenient method is to
use a pressure actuator bulb similar to the one used in the blood-pressure measuring
apparatus used by doctors. By providing suitable valves and other arrangement. the
lame actuator can be used for creating the required vacuum.
NOT>; 2 - The description and requirements given In 2.1 are intended to be non.
r esrr icuve, Any apparatus using a fif'Xlble membrane ( rubber) and liquid that can be
used to measure the volume of a test hole in soil under the conditions of thi, method
to an accuracv WIthin 1'0 percent IS sat isfact orv ,

2.2 BalaDces - A balance or scale of approximately 20-kR capacity

accurate to I ~ and a balance of 2·kg capacity accurate to 0'2 g.

2.3 Apparatus for the DeterminatioD of Moisture Content - shall

be in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part II )-1969·.

2.4 Miscellaneous Equipmeat -- Small pick, chisels, spoons for

digging test holes, plastic bags, buckets with lids, or other suitable metal
containers that can be closed for retaining the soil taken from the test
holes, thermometer for determining temperature of water, small paint
brush.

shall be measured to within 1'0 percent (see Note). Containers of different
volumes shall be used so that the calibration check of the volume indicator
covers the range of anticipated lest hole sizes.
No·rF. - The lOO-mm and l50-mm moulds described in IS : 2720 ( Part VII )-1965-
and IS: 2720 ( Pall VIII )-1965t or other moulds prepared to srmulare actual test
holes may he used, Where several sera of apparatus are used, it may be desirable to
cavt duplicates of actual test hcles. These setl should represent the range of ~ize. and
II regulMIIle< m the Wdlls of I..st holes that WIll be encountered. These fabricated holes
",ay b.. used as standards for the calibration check of !he volume mdicator This may
b.. aceornphshed by forming plaster of Pans negatives in the rest holes and usmg these
a. forms for Pun land cement concrete caltingl. Aftl'r removing the plaster of Paris
negauve from the elm' rete casung, the inside surface of the Iabrrcated boles should
be seal,·r! watertight .md their volume determinf"d as indicated in 3.1.

3.1.1 Volumes of Containers- Determine the weight of water, in

grams required to fill one of the containers. Slide a glass plate carefully
over the top surface of the container in such a manner as to ensure that the
container is filled completely with water. Determine the temperature of
the water in the container. A thin film of cup grease smeared on the top
surface of the container shall make a watertight joint between the glass
plate and the top of the container. Calculate the volume of the container,
in rnillrlitres, by multiplying the weight of water, In grams, used to fill the
container by the unit volume of water, in millilitres per gram, at the
observed temperature, taken from Table I. Repeat thrs procedure until
three values are secured for the volume of the container having maximum
range of variation of 3 rnl, Repeat the procedure for each of the containers
to be used in the calibration check.
3.1.2 Calibration Check Tests - Place the rubber- balloon apparatus filled
with water to the required level (see Note I) on a relatively smooth hori-
zontal surface and take an initial reading on the volume indicator.
Transfer the apparatus to one of the containers and take the reading on
the volume indicator when the rubber-balloon completely fills the contai-
ner ( Sit Notes 2 and 3). Apply pressure to the liquid in the apparatus until
there is no further change indicated on the volume mdrcator , Note and
record the pressure. Where necessary. add weight (surcharge) to the
apparatus to prevent it from rising ( fee Note 4). Note and record the total
amount of weights added. The difference between the initial and final
readings of the volume indicator is the indicator volume value for the
container. The membrane may be withdrawn from the container by
applying a partial vacuum to the liquid in the apparatus. . Repeat the
procedure for the other containers.
~OTE I - Water may be used as fill lrquid and In freezmg temperatures anti-freeze
thuds may be used 10 the calibrated vl'58el or cylinder.

NOTE 2 - If the calibration container or mould u airtight, it may be necessary to
provide an air escape, smce the rubber membrane can entrap air withm the container
and cause erroneous volume measurement. After the volume of the container has
been determined with wate r and prior to the insertion of the rubb..r-balloon , small air
escape-holes may be provided bv piacmg I..ngths of small diamet ..r sIrmg over the edge
of the container and down the imide wall slightly b..yond the bottom centre, This
will permit air leakage during the filling of the con tamer with the membrane, If such
a procpourp is necessar v m the laboratory. it may be necessarv to use a similar
procedur.. on right ly-bounded soil in the fipld.
NOTE 3 - Before any measurements are made, it may be n ..cessary to distend the
rubber-balloon and r e-movr- air buhbles adhering to the inside of th .. membrane by
kneadmg. '
NOT~~ 4 - III field t..SIS tIl(' additional weights (surcharge) will rncrease the stress in

4. PROCEDURE
4.1 Prepare the surface of the test hole site so that it is reasonably plane.
Set the apparatus on the test hole site and take an initial reading on the
volume indicator of the calibrated vessel using the same pressure on the
liquid in the vessel and the same amount of surcharge weight as was used
in the calibration check. After taking this initial reading on the volume
indicator, scribe the outline of the apparatus on the test hole site. Record
the pressure used, the amount of the surcharge, and the initial volume
reading. If the apparatus was calibrated with a base plate, the base plate
shall remain in-place throughout the field test.

4.2 Remove the apparatus from the test hole site and dig a hole centered
within the outline scribed for the apparatus. Exercise care in digging the
test hole so that soil around the top edge of the hole is not disturbed.
Place all the soil removed from the test hole in an airtight container for
weight and moisture content determinations. The test hole shall be of the
minimum volume given in Table 2. Larger holes will provide improved
accuracy and shall be used, where practicable. The dimensions of the
test holes are related to the apparatus design and the pressure used. In
general, the dimensions shall approximate those used in the calibration
check procedure.

4.3 After the test hole has been dug, place the apparatus over the test hole
in the same position used for the initial reading and inflate the flexible
membrane in the hole, allowing 'air from the hole to escape Without gett-
ing entrapped between the inner surface of the test hole and the flexible
membrane (see Note 2 under 3.1.2). Apply the same surcharge weight
and pressure on the liquid in the vessel as used during the calibration
check procedure. Take and record the reading on the volume indicator.
The difference between this reading and the initial reading obtained in 4.1
is the volume of the test hole (see Note). Note the temperature of the
water used and correct the volume for temperature, taking into considera-
tion the temperature at which the apparatus was cahbrated., After the
test, pump the water and flexible membrane back into the cylinder by
applying vacuum.
NoT!'; - Attention is called to mstances an weak soils, where the pressure applied to
the Iiqurd In the vessel may deform the test hole to such an extent as 10 give an errone-
ous volume. In such Instances, the apparatus shall be re-cahbrated using less
surcharge weight and leIS pressure on the hquid in the vessel, or It may be necessary to
resort to another method such as that given m IS : 2720 ( Part XXVIII )-1966*.
