A field density test on compacted, well-graded sand produced the following information: water content = 5%, total density = 112 pcf. Additional standardized tests were performed for determining the sand's relative density following ASTM D4253 and D4254, and these standardized tests produced a minimum dry density of 89 pcf and a maximum dry density of 115 pcf. The specific gravity of solids is 2.65 for this soil.Compute (a) the field dry density and void ratio, (b) min and max void ratios (emin and emax) and (c) the field Relative Density (DR) of this sand.
