Abstract
In test for maximum and minimum density of sands (JGS T 161-1990), the sand of which the maximum particle size exceeding 2mm is outside coverage. However, there are many occasions to handle such sand exceeding 2mm in practice. Therefore, we propose the test method for maximum and minimum density of the sand of 2mm or more in the maximum particle size by the following two methods. (1) Using the larger mold. (2) Application of the limitation method of the maximum particle size where the particle size distribution of sand is considered. And we prove that the proposed method serves enough to practical use.
