In a field density test using the oil method, the wet mass of the soil removed from a hole in
the compacted fill was 1.61kg. The mass of the oil required to fill the hole was 0.81kg The
specific gravity of oil (Goil) is 0.9. the field water content was 26%. The specific gravity of
the soil solids (Gs) is 2.7. Calculate the dry density and degree of saturation of the
compacted soil.
In a field density test using the oil method, the
