  Field Dry Density By Sand Replacement Method

Image Source :Indiamart.com


Required Apparatus-

(1.) Rapid moisture meter 

(2.) Weight balance

(3.) Sand pouring cylinder

(4.) Metal tray with centre hole

(5.) Measuring scale

(6.) Cutting and excavating tools

(7.) Metal tray

(8.) Sand clean and uniform passing 1mm IS sieve and retained on 600 micron IS sieve.

Test Procedure-

(1.) Take the weight of sand and sand pouring cylinder before pouring leaving a gap of 10 mm from the top. Suppose Wt=17110 gm. Note this weight in format.

(2.) Take the metal tray with hole and place the metal tray with central on levelled surface and excavate a hole in soil in pavement layer through the opening in the tray with depth of 150 mm.

(3.) Excavation will be in vertical position and excavated soil will kept in the same tray.

(4.) Collect all excavated material carefully in another metal tray and record its weight and mention in the format. Weight=4048 gm

(5.) Place the sand pouring cylinder directly over the excavated hole and allow the sand to passes into the hole by opening the shutter of cylinder.

(6.) Close the shutter when further movement of sand is not seen.

(7.) Record the weight of sand pouring cylinder after pouring sand. Weight=13210 gm

(8.) Measure the moisture content of soil by speedy (rapid) moisture meter.

(9.) Now take sample 6 gm and calculate moisture content. Moisture content=8.5 %

(10.) Take moisture content through the calibration chart=8.36 %

(11.) Now, consider for calculation.

Weight of sand in hole=Weight of cylinder filled with sand before pouring-Weight of cylinder filled with sand after pouring -Weight of cylinder in cone

                                    =17110-13210-1253

                                    =2647 gm

(12.) Volume of hole=Weight of sand in hole/Bulk density of sand 

                                 = 2.647/1.372

                                 = 1929.3

(13.) Wet density of sample=Weight of wet sample from hole/Volume of hole

                                            = 4048/1929.30

                                            = 2.098

(14.) Bulk density of sample =Wet density of sample/(1+ moisture content)

                                               = 2.098/(1+8.36%)

                                               = 1.936 

(Image Credit: Ritesh Raj)


(15.) Relative degree of compaction=Dry density of site sample/Laboratory MDD of sample*100

                                                          = 1.936/1.970 *100

                                                          = 98.29 %

Note:-

(1.) Compaction should not less than 95%.

(2.) This method is more suitable for sand, GSB compaction etc.

Important Points SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) During the Inspection of RCC NP4 Pipes: -    Image-Hydro Test (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj) (1.) Firstly, approved QAP will be checked.  (2.) ID marks should be marked on the inner and outer sides of pipes.  Image-ID Mark (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj)  (3.) To check the inner and outer diameter of pipes.   (4.) Smooth finishing and before dispatch of RCC pipes cement slurry or grouting where required.   (5.) Load test is required for RCC pipes as per IS codes. It is different for each dia, of RCC pipes.  Image-Plate Load Test (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj)   (6.) Concrete mix design checked and in which cement content, cement brand, and water-cement ratio should be checked.  (7.)

"Sewer Network Analysis"

The word sewerage is made from sewer. The word sewer indicates the usable water which is received from kitchen, bathroom and outfall from toilet/W.C. Every large or small city was held at sea, river and lake and it was planned at initial stage of the project planning, that the dirty water of homes and industries was dumped in that water source easily. Many years passed the dirty water from these utilities are dumped in the nearest source and that source water was make too poisons. Many aquatic life is survive in water and when dirty water is mixed with water source the biological cycle was affected and fishes and other animals population was decreases. Image Source:Pexels.com In that case population of human is also increases continuously and after that level of water source was decreases and we faced many problems continuously. Then sewer network is introduced. Outlet from all homes are connected to lateral lines means the water of kitchen, bathroom and water closet are co...
