DD Form 1215. In-Place Density Determination - Sand-Cone Method

DD Form 1215 - In-Place Density Determination - Sand-Cone Method is used to document the results of in-place density determination of soil using the sand-cone method. This information is crucial for assessing the compaction of soil in the field.

The form consists of sections where users can record details about the soil sample, test location, cone apparatus weight, and the volume of the hole before and after filling. It also includes spaces for calculating the in-place density and recording moisture content.

Important fields in this form include the cone apparatus weight, volume measurements, and calculated in-place density. Accurate measurements and calculations are essential for reliable assessment of soil compaction in the field.

Application Example: Construction professionals and field engineers use DD Form 1215 to determine the in-place density of soil, ensuring proper compaction during construction activities.

Related Form: DD Form 1210 is related, as it involves laboratory compaction characteristics of soil.

Alternative Form: ASTM D1556 is a standard test method used for determining the in-place density of soil using the sand-cone method.
