Question
1. Using phase relationships and the assumption that the volume of solids is 1.0, show
WGs - Se.
Describe the difference between Standard Compaction and Modified Compaction in
a laboratory compaction test. Describe the expected difference in optimum moisture
content between the two
tests.
3. 1870 g of wet soil is compacted into a mould of volume of 1000 cm3, and then oven
dried at 1100
for 24 hrs. The weight of the soil is measured at 1677 g, and the specific gravity Gs, is
known to be
2.66. Determine (a) the moisture content (b) the bulk density in kg/m3 (c) dry density
in kg/m3
(d) void ratio and (e) degree of saturation. |
