Characterization of a Sandy Soil by Three Sampling Methods 365. The challenge in defining the variability in the soil is not only how to define these. natural bodies, but also how to quantify the constituents within the soil.
In soil testing for civil construction, Field Density testing would be amongst the most common. Its purpose is to determine the Field Dry Density (in t/m3) and Moisture Content (as a %) of the material being tested.The Field Dry Density is usually compared with a laboratory compaction test of the same soil type, to produce a ratio between field and laboratory compaction.(See Compaction below).ompaction testing as carried out in a soil testing laboratory is done to determine the Maximum Dry Density (t/m3) and the moisture content at which that is achieved known as the Optimum Moisture Content (%).
