PROCEDURE. Step 1. Fill the sand pouring cylinder with clean sand so that the level of the sand in the cylinder is within about 10 mm from the top. Find out the initial weight of the cylinder plus sand (W1) and this weight should be maintained constant throughout the test for which the calibration is used.
FIELD DENSITY TEST (BY SAND REPLACEMENT METHOD) INTRODUCTION: The dry density of the compacted soil or pavement material is a common measure of the amount of the compaction achieved during the construction. Knowing the field density and field moisture content, the dry density is calculated. Therefore field density test is importance as a field control test for the compaction of soil
Introduction. Sand replacement test method is used to determine the field density or inplace density of earth embankments, road fills, subgrade, subbase or any of compacted material. This method serves as the base upon which one can accept the density of a compacted material to a specified magnitude or to a percentage of maximum unit dry density determined as proctor.
Sand replacement density (SRD) tests are used to measure the insitu density of natural or compacted soils using sand pouring cylinders. The insitu density is typically used for highway or pavement design purposes to estimate the relative density of base course or subgrade materials.
Insitu density is widely used to control the field compaction of earthworks and pavement layers. There are a number of methods available for measuring insitu density but only the two common methods are considered here. These are the corecutter method and the sand replacement method. Sand Replacement Method Introduction.

The test conducted at the field to check the density of soil to ensure whether it has been compacted well as . per the requirements is known as Sand Replacement Test. They are otherwise known as Field Density Test or FDD Test of sand. Density / Unit Weight The unit weight of the material is defined as Mass per Volume (M/V)
The field density test of soil is conducted in the field to know whether the specified compaction is achieved or not. Normally Sand Replacement Method is adopted for this purpose. Sand Replacement Method is also known as Sand Cone Method. The apparatus used in this field density test consists of a sand pouring cylinder, with pouring cone at its base.
This test is done to determine the insitu dry density of soil by sand replacement method as per IS: 2720 (Part XXVIII) 1974. The apparatus needed is i) Sandpouring cylinder conforming to IS: 2720 (Part XXVIII) 1974 ii) Cylindrical calibrating container conforming to IS: 2720 (Part XXVIII) 1974
Determination of field density using the sand replacement method involves three steps. The first step involves calibration of a sandpouring cylinder. The soil density is measured in the second step and then the water content and dry density is measured in the third step. The various stages of the sand replacement method are shown in Fig.
27/8/2018#0183;#32;The calculations of field density test by Core cutter method are very easy as compared with the sand replacement method. However, the steps involved in the calculation are listed below : Volume of cylinder is calculated ; V = ((pi x d x d ) / 4 ) x h ; where
Invert the previously weighed sand cone apparatus on the cleaned flanges of the base plate, Avoid all types of vibrations in the test area. Open the valve and allow the sand to fill the test hole and the sand cone. Close the valve when the flowing of the sand stopped.
