1. Scope
1.1 This test method may be used to determine the undisturbed (in-situ) in-place bulk-density, moisture content, and unit weight of topsoil and blended soil growing mediums using the core displacement method.
Existing sports fields and sports fields under construction need an efficient method of determining key characteristics of soils without long and time-consuming laboratory efforts. This test method provides an approach that can provide builders with this data while in the field.
