A B C

• A. 2 4 1
• B. 4 2 1
• C. 4 2 3
• D. 2 4 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2 4 3

Field density Test is used to determine in situ density of natural or compacted soils. The in situ density of natural soil is needed for the determination of bearing capacity of soils, for the purpose of stability analysis of slopes, for the determination of pressures on underlying strata for the calculation of settlement and the design of underground structures.
The california bearing ratio test is penetration test meant for the evaluation of subgrade strength of roads and pavements. The results obtained by these tests are used with the empirical curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers.
