Following are the results of a field unit weight determination test on the same soil with cone method:
Calibrated dry sand of Ottawa sand =87.4pcf
Calibrated mass of Ottawa sand to fill the cone =750g=1.6516
Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use)=7500g=16.5lb
Mass of jar + cone + sand after use
Classify each of the soils using the USCS ( ASTM
