Abstract ; The core cutter method is a technique used for sampling soil in order to determine its density and moisture content. It involves the use of a cylindrical device, known as a core cutter, which is driven into the soil to extract a sample of a known volume. The sample is then weighed and dried in an oven to determine its dry weight and moisture content. By knowing the volume of the sample, the density of the soil can be calculated. The core cutter method is commonly used in geotechnical engineering, construction, and agriculture to evaluate the properties of soil for various applications.
