Calculate Field Density Test



What is Field Density Test?

The Field Density Test (FDT) is a measure of the density of soil in the field, accounting for the moisture content. It is used to ensure that the soil has been compacted to the required density for construction purposes.

Formula

The formula to calculate the Field Density Test is:

\[ \text{FDT} = \text{WD} - \text{MC} \]

Where:

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{FDT} = 120 - 10 = 110 \text{ pcf} \]

The Field Density Test result is 110 pcf.
