This document contains the results of tests conducted on soil samples from a highway construction project to determine density and moisture content. The tests include the sand replacement method, nuclear density gauge method, and calibration of the pouring cylinder. The sand replacement method involves measuring the mass and volume of soil samples to calculate wet density, moisture content, and dry density. The nuclear density gauge method measures wet density, moisture content, and dry density at various locations. The pouring cylinder calibration involves determining the weight of sand in the cylinder cone to measure the bulk density of sand used in testing. Test results are presented in tables including chainage, density, moisture content, and degree of compaction measurements.
