Field Density (Sand Cone Method) Test (ASTM D 1556, AASHTO T - 191)

This document summarizes the results of a field density test conducted on a subgrade and sub base material for runway rehabilitation work at an airport. The test was conducted at station 0+000 to 0+300 on the right shoulder of the north runway. The field sample was taken from a layer that was 14 cm thick. The test found a moisture content of 9.1%, a wet unit weight of 2.118 g/cm3, and a dry unit weight of 1.941 g/cm3, resulting in a compaction of 98.1%. The required compaction was 90%.
