Britainâs response was swift. The following spring, Parliament passed four acts known collectively, by the British, as the âCoercive Acts.â Colonists, however, referred to them as the âIntolerable Acts.â First, the Boston Port Act shut down the harbor and cut off all trade to and from the city.
The bulk density often is the bulk density of the powder âas pouredâ or as passively filled into a measuring vessel. The tapped density is a limiting density attained after âtapping down,â usually in a device that lifts and drops a volumetric measuring cylinder containing the powder a fixed distance.
This lab is performed to determine the in-place density of undisturbed soil obtained by pushing or drilling a thin-walled cylinder. The bulk density is the ratio of mass of moist soil to the volume of the soil sample, and the dry density is the ratio of the mass of the dry soil to the volume the soil sample. ASTM D 2937-00 â Standard Test for Density of Soil in Place by the Drive-Cylinder Method. This test is used to determine the in-place density of soils. This test can also be used to determine density of compacted soils used in the construction of structural fills, highway embankments, or earth dams.
