DENSITY and UNIT WEIGHT of SOIL in PLACE RESULT

(SAND CONE METHOD)

Project : Gudang.

Location : Java Intergrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE)

Jl. Raya Manyar, Gresik, East Java.

Client : PT. Lamtoro, Gresik.

Type of test : o Density and unit weight of Soil in Place by sand cone method, ASTM D-1556.
o The proctor test result is presented in report # ER.L.01/ DM.08.04/ 2018.

Type of material : Limestone.

Tested by : Sltn dkk.

Date of testing : July 28th, 2018

Results :

The points are recommended by client and illustrated at appendix A.1 and the sand cone testing at 4
points given result as follow :

Points Unit 1 2 3 4
Water content (field) (%) 7.56 16.71 11.88 8.56
Dry unit weight (field) (t/m3) 1.83 1.56 1.92 1.71
3
Dry unit weight (Laboratory) (t/m ) 1.64 1.64 1.64 1.64
Relative compaction (%) 101 98 92 100

Based on results of sandcone test, there is not testing point having relative compaction (RC) value less
than 90%, which in general the minimum acceptable value of relative compaction is ranging from 90 to
95%.

REMARK
W1 = Weight (jug + cone) W5 = Weight (left sand in jug + cone)
W2 = Weight (full water in jug + cone) W8 = Weight (soil + can)
W3 = Weight (full sand in jug + cone) W9 = Weight of can
W4 = Weight (sufficient sand in jug + cone) W10 = (W6-W7) - (W4-W5)
