4. Phase Diagram A soil sample was obtained at the underground parking garage that Dr. Barry is constructing at his home with a volume (VT) of 0.05 ft', total weight (WT) of 4.2 lbs, weight of water (Ww) of 0.37 lbs and a specific gravity (Gs) 2.70. Draw a complete phase diagram and determine the void ratio (e), moist unit weight (y), saturated unit weight (ysat), dry unit weight (yary), weight of the solids (W.), volume occupied by the solids (V.), volume occupied by the water (Vw), volume occupied by the air (VA), volume of the voids (Vv), porosity (n), moisture content (w), and percent saturation (S).

Transcribed Image Text:4. Phase Diagram
A soil sample was obtained at the underground parking garage that Dr. Barry is constructing at his home
with a volume (VT) of 0.05 ft', total weight (WT) of 4.2 lbs, weight of water (Ww) of 0.37 lbs and a
specific gravity (Gs) 2.70. Draw a complete phase diagram and determine the void ratio (e), moist unit
weight (y), saturated unit weight (ysat), dry unit weight (Yary), weight of the solids (W.), volume occupied
by the solids (V.), volume occupied by the water (V), volume occupied by the air (VA). volume of the
voids (Vv), porosity (n), moisture content (w), and percent saturation (S). Use English units in your
solution. Show all of your work.
