The paper presents a standard vibrating table for fresh concrete testing adopted for determination of maximum dry density (ρ ) of sand. Vibration is an efficient method for coarse soil compaction therefore vibrating tables are useful for ρ determination. Acceleration that the soil is subject to is o...
