A cylindrical sample of soil has a height of 205mm and a diameter of 102.4mm. The sample was found to have an initial "bulk* mass of 3.735kg. After placing in an oven at 105°C for 24hrs the mass was found to be 3.306kg. The specific gravity, Gs of the soil particles was determined as 2.71. Determine each of the following soil properties: Moisture content % (ji) Bulk Density. kg/m? Void Ratio (iV) Relevant Unit weights
