The in-situ density of the soil is required to control the results of field compaction in earth embankments, Road fill and structural back filling. So, measuring the soil density is essential before building any construction. Three methods are used to determine the density (unit weight) of a soil in the sight; the sand replacement method, the balloon method, and the nuclear method.

What is field density test?
field density test
How do you get the weight of soil in an area?
Estimate the thickness of the soil over the area (test pits will help with this) - measure the average density of the soil (out of the test pits). You then have:- The "area" tiles the "thickness" = the volume of soil. Volume times density = weight.
How do you test the soil with a soil testing kit?
There are soil test kits that are electronic and measure the soil levels. There are also soil test kits that use the small amounts of your garden soil and mix with the testers ingredients to read the levels.
Why do you test soil?
you test the soil to check how much PH it has. plants need the right PH

Why is a relative compaction test greater than 100 percent?
You can have a relative compaction value of greater than 100%. The maximum density test gives you a density that is the maximum value under that particular compactive effort. The modified proctor will give you a higher maximum density than the standard proctor test which has a lower energy input. The modified proctor attempts to model the energy input by larger compaction equipment. However, if you had a large piece of compaction equipment and/or compacted the soil in thin lifts repeatedly you could exceed the maximum density. Typically, if you do not have an unusual circumstance (compacting very thin lifts a large amount of times) the higher than maximum density value is the result of a change in soil type. Do a new max if you are unsure on the soil that you tested in the field.

How many field density test should be conducted if the frequency of tests is 1 test per 150m2 placed?
3 time per visit.
How does chemistry help us in the field of mineral processing?
It is to test the soil and dirt, to check for those minerals and to get a reaction.
What is the plural of soil test?
The plural of soil test is soil tests. As in "soil tests were carried out at the incident site".

What possible problems may be encounted in terms of practical excavation of earthworks?
Soil density and strength can become a problem with excavation of earthworks projects. It is important for engineers to test the soil initially and use the proper equipment during the project.
