In soil mechanics what is sand cone method -?
The Sand Cone Method is a sand replacement method for determining the field unit weight or the in-situ density of natural or compacted soil. There are three standard procedures used for determining this weight, including the Sand Cone Method, Rubber Balloon Method and the Nuclear Method. In the Sand Cone Method, as done in this lab, a hole is excavated in the area where the soil has been compacted and the dry weight of the soil can be obtained by determining the weight of the moist soil and the moisture content. The volume for the hole excavated is calculated by reintroducing the sand into the hole and then the dry unit weight of compaction is calculated by dividing the dry weight of the soil by the volume of the hole. This test method is applicable for soils without appreciable amounts of rock or coarse materials in excess of 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) in diameter. The main application of this test is the cases like embankment and pavement construction, this is basically a quality control test where a certain degree of compaction is required. This test is also used in stability analysis of embankments and slopes, for the calculation of pressure in underlying strata for settlement problems and also design of underground structures.
What are the Limitations of sand cone method?
it dries fairly quickly and can cause cracks when dried. hope this was helpful
What is sand cone test?
Sand cone test is detemination of silt content of sand
What is the difference between sand replacement method and core cutter method to find out density?
Core cutter method is simple but results approximate and used on soft soils
What is the importance of finding field density by sand replacement method?
this method is used to determine the field density of soil and bulk density of soil wrt to sand. this method is not suitable for organic , saturated. highly plastic soil that will deform during the excavation of soil.
How is sand separated in a mixture of sand and water?
no just put it in a filter paper cone resting in a beaker (make sure it doesn't touch the bottom) and all the wate will slowly drip out and you'll be left with water in a beaker and sand in the cone No, since they are different state of matter. by the process of filtration you can able to separate it. But if you mean to thoroughly separate it maybe, with the use of another method like the process of drying. I'm not sure about the name of the method but I hope somhow it would hepl.
What are the methods in planting tree?

Why is Hawaii's sand's colour so red?
Red sand beaches in Hawaii are derived from the erosion of cinder cone volcanoes.
