Expert Solution

Step 1 - Introduction

Objective: To determine value of the different parameters of the phase diagram, complete the phase diagram and use the diagram to compute void ratio, porosity and dry density of the soil.

Given:

Volume of the soil (V_t) = 1 m³

Mass of moist soil (M_t) = 1800 kg/m³

Water content (w%) = 10%

Density of soil solids ( $ρ_{s}$ ) = 2700 kg/m³
