DRY DENSITY OF SOIL IN PLACE BY
CORE CUTTER METHOD
Doc. No. /PANORAMA/TP-01
Rev.-00
DETERMINATION OF DRY DENSITY OF SOIL IN PLACE
BY CORE-CUTTER METHOD
(I.S: 2720-XXIX)
Aim: To determine the field dry density of fine grained soil by using core cutter. It
is less accurate than Sand Replacement Method and recommended for well
Compacted soils.
Apparatus:
Core cutter / Dolly / Rammer.
Weigh balance of 1 g accuracy.
Pallet knife, Straight edge, Steel rule, Pick axe etc.
Soil sample is termed as fine-grained if 90% by weight passes through IS sieve
4.75 mm.
Procedure:
 Internal Volume ( Vc, cm3 ) of core cutter shall be calculated by taking
Dimensions to nearest the 0.25 mm (By vernier).
 Cutter shall be weighed to nearest g. ( Wc, g )
 A small area, approximately 30 cms square of the soil layer to be tested shall
be exposed and leveled.
 Cutter shall be placed vertically on soil with dolly on top.
 Cutter shall be rammed down vertically into the soil layer until only about 15
mm of dolly protrudes above surface.
 Care should be taken that cutter shall not rock sideways while hammering.
 The cutter shall be dug out of surrounding soil by pick axe. Please take care so
as to have some protruding soil mass from the lower edge.
 Soil from both the ends shall be trimmed flat to the ends of cutter.
 The cutter containing soil mass shall be weighed to nearest g ( Ws, g )
 The soil mass shall be removed from cutter and representative sample shall be
tested for water contents.
At least 3 tests are required to make an average result.

Remarks – Often, problem is encountered when soil mass is dry and cutter is not
properly filled up or loses soil while handling. In such case test is to be done
by sprinkling water and testing after suitable lapse of time. Core cutter shall be
removed, trimmed and kept in polythelene bag to take it to laboratory. It shall
be weighed with cutter and any loose soil mass collected in bag.
Calculations :
Bulk Density Yb of Wet Soil is as below:
Yb = ( Ws – Wc ) / Vc , gms /cm3
Dry Density Yd is as below:
Yd = 100 Yb / ( 100 + w ) , gms /cm3 Where w = Water content %

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TESTING
FOR CONCRETE
Doc. No. PANORAMA/TP-02
Apartments at BANGALORE. Rev.-00
PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TESTING FOR CONCRETE
Aim : To establish Compressive strength of concrete sample for acceptance.
Apparatus :
1. Compressive Testing Machine having adequate capacity.
2. Weighing Balance.
3. Measuring Scale.
Procedure :
 Remove the cubes required for testing from curing tank. Wipe off water and
air dry them to surface dryness.
 Stack cubes in sequence as per mix, dates, locations etc.
 Record the actual surface area ( Sq cm)of the cube which will be in contact
with the platen of CTM ( A in Sqcm or Sqmm ).
 Weigh the cubes and record the weights in the register in kg.
 Place the cube on platen centrally keeping trowelled side in front.
 Position the top platen on cube surface. See that there is no gap left between
cube top and platen.
 Load the CTM at desired speed without any shocks. ( Pointer and needle shall
move together)
 When crushing takes place in the specimen, needle will start falling back but
pointer will remain at maximum reading.
 Record the reading shown by pointer viewing perpendicular to the face of
dial. ( Load applied in kN or tonne- W)
 Relieve the load from CTM. Remove the cube. Clean the platens.
 Check the features of cube failure. Good failure is when the cube mass
retained has concavity on sides. If failures are occurring consistently by crack
developing only on one side it means cubes are eccentrically loaded. If cracks
are always developed centrally means point load is getting applied due to
Convexity of platens. Remedial measures are required to be taken for this.

Calculations:
1. Compressive Stress ( c ) in N / mm2 or Kg / cm2 as below :
c = Wx1000 /A in N/mm2 or Kg /cm2
Average of the set of Three or more cubes to be recorded (c’ ).
2. When three or more cubes from single batch/lot is tested, max variation is
allowed +/- 15%. If any cube is showing more variation, result of that cube is
discarded and average of two or more is to be taken.
Recording :
Record is generated as per the sample format given in chronological order.

FRESH CONCRETE IN THE FIELD Doc. No. PANORAMA/TP-17
Rev.-00
FOR FRESH CONCRETE IN THE FIELD
( IS : 1199 )
Sample from Mixer:
 At least three approximate equal samples totaling 0.02 m3 (equivalent to fill 6
Cube moulds) shall be taken from a batch.
 For collection a scoop shall be used. No tool with flat edges ( like phawra)
shall be used.
 3 samples are taken at about the time interval when ¼, ½ and ¾ of concrete is
discharged.
Sample from Place and Time of Deposition:
 Sample shall be taken immediately after or during discharge at site.
 Samples shall be collected from not less than 5 well distributed points
avoiding
the edges of the mass where segregation may have occurred.
Mixing of Sample :
 Sample thus received shall be immediately remixed on non-absorbent
platform
and made ready for testing.
Frequency of Sampling :
 The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete of each grade shall be as
below:
Qty of Concrete in the No of Samples *
SL. No. Qty of Concrete –M3 No. of Sample- Set
1 1-5 1
2 6-15 2
3 16-30 3
4 31-50 4

5 51 & above 4+1 additional sample for each additional 50
m3 or part thereof.
Note:
At least one sample taken from each shift.
Where concrete is produced at continuous production unit such as RMC plant,
frequency of sampling may be agreed upon mutually.
Three specimens shall be made for each sample for testing at 28 days.
Additional samples may be required for determining strength at 7 days or at the
time of striking formwork.
Remarks :
Sample* means qty of concrete required to fill one set of cubes ( 3nos / 6 nos ) for
testing.
Hence number of sample is equivalent to number of cube sets (3 / 6 nos.). 3 cubes
are drawn when only cube testing is done at 28 days. 6 cubes are drawn for tests at 7
/ 28 days required.
CONCRETING IN HIGH TEMPERATURE REGIONS (IS: 7861-1)
 Ice is added
 Water Cement Ratio should not change with addition of Ice
 Adjust Quantity of water accordingly to the volume of melting ice
CONCRETING IN LOW TEMPERATURE REGIONS (IS: 7861-2)
 Precautions must be taken to keep the temperature in control during mixing
and placing Concrete.
 The commonly adopted method is by using hot water upto 60 C .
 In extreme frost conditions the concrete surface is covered with dry blankets
of straw, cement bags, tarpaulins etc.

WATER CONTENT IN SOIL SAMPLE Doc. No PANORAMA /TP-18
Rev.-00
PROECEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF WATER CONTENT IN SOIL
SAMPLE
(IS: 2720-II)
A. By Oven Drying Method:
Aim :
To determine Water Content in Soil Sample at Laboratory by Oven Method
Apparatus :
Container – Any suitable non-corrodable air tight container. ( Remarks- These can be
300ml aluminum or stainless steel boxes with lid )
Balance – Having accuracy of 0.04% of the weight of soil taken for test.
Remarks-
Balance of capacity 500 g and accuracy of 0.1g can be used when accurate
working is required. If normal weighing balance with 1g accuracy is used then
accuracy of water content will be around 0.2 to 0.5% only; depending on sample
size 500 to 200 g respectively.
Drying Oven – Thermostatically controlled.
Soil Specimen:
It shall be true representative of soil mass. The size of specimen is recommended for
general laboratory use as below. However, the dryer the soil,
Greater shall be size. Remarks: Preferably take 500g sample when weighing
Accuracy is 1g.
Size of particles - 37.5mm, 19mm, 9.5mm, 4.75mm, 2mm
More than 90% passing
Min qty of soil specimen 1000gm, 500gm, 300gm, 200gm, 50gm

Procedure:
Clean the container with lid, dry and weigh (W1, g)
 Take the required quantity of the soil specimen in container, crumble clods
and place loosely and weigh with the lid ( W2, g )
 Keep filled container in an oven with the lid removed and maintain the
temperature at 110+/- 5 deg C. for maximum 24 hours.
 Cool the container and record Final mass of container with lid and dried
sample ( W3, g ).
Calculations :
% of Water Content = 100 x ( W2-W3 ) / ( W3- W1)
Report :
The water content % shall be expressed to two significant figures ( e.g.- 23, 2.3,
0.23 )
Note : Oven drying at 110 +/- 5 deg C does not result in reliable values for soil
containing Gypsum and any other mineral having water of hydration or significant
amount of organic matter. Reliable values can be obtained in an oven by drying at
temperature around 60-80 deg C.
Remarks: Traces of Gypsum / lime / Alum can be seen as white particles. That of
organic matter will show black colour fibrous traces. Particles of Green / Bluish
Green can be minerals having water of hydration.
B. By Sand Bath Method ( Suitable as Field Test )
This method is not suitable for soil containing a large portion of Gypsum ,
Calcareous Matter or Organic matter.
Aim :
To determine water content in soil specimen in the field.
Apparatus:
Container – Any suitable Air tight container as given in Oven drying method.
Sand Bath : Suitable size and containing clean sand to a depth of 3 cms.
Stove, Spatula
Soil Specimen :
As given in Oven drying method.

Procedure :
 Clean the container with lid, dry and weigh ( W1 , g )
 Take the required quantity of the soil specimen in container, crumble the
clods and place loosely and weigh ( W2, g )
 Add few pieces ( 3-4 small) of white paper if necessary. This the indicator for
over-heating. While heating the soil paper pieces shall not turn brown.
 Place the container with lid removed on sand bath and heat sand bath on the
stove.
 During heating sample shall be turned frequently and thoroughly to assist
evaporation. It shall be done carefully so as no soil mass is spilled over.
 When drying is complete, remove the container and cool it down. Remove
pieces of papers.
 Weigh the container with lid on. ( W3, g )
Calculations :
w % = 100x ( W2 - W3 ) / ( W3 –W1 )
Report :
Same as Oven drying method to two significant figures (e.g. – 23, 2.3, 0.23)
