Soil classification and characteristics

Soil classification is a method of categorizing soil based on its properties, types, and uses. The motive of soil classification is to arrange various types of soils and divide them into groups for various engineering and agricultural purposes. Soil classification is carried out by various agencies as per their purposes. From an engineering perspective, soil classification is done to find out the suitability of soil for various construction purposes like the construction of dams, foundations, highways, infrastructures, and so on. For engineering purposes, the soil is classified by the following systems:

The moisture content and the bulk unit weight of a partially saturated silt sample were 18% and 19.6 KN/m^3, respectively. The sample was kept in an oven at 105°? for 15 minutes, resulting in a partial evaporation of the pore water. The bulk unit weight of the sample reduced to 18.3 KN/m^3. Assuming the void ratio to remain unchanged, determine the final water content of the sample. What would have been its bulk density if the sample was kept in the oven for 24 hrs?
