This thesis presents the results of a laboratory testing program that evaluated the applicability of a new-established method for determining minimum and maximum dry density values by Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Seven fine to medium grained cohesionless sand batches with different inclusion of fines content were selected for a series of testing programs in compliance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and NGI recommendations. All three methods of ASTM D4254 – 16 and method 1B of ASTM D4253 – 16 were applied for minimum and maximum dry density determination, respectively. The results compared with the NGI minimum and …
