A cylindrical specimen of a cohesive soil of 13 cm diameter and 22 cm length was prepared by compaction in a mold if the wet mass of the specimen was 3.68 kg. and its water content was 18.55%. (Specific gravity of soil solids is 2.78). Determine the void ratio of the soil
The void ratio of the soil is given as 0.6. Determine the porosity of the soil.
The moisture content of the natural soil as obtained from the oven drying method is 8 % and its unit weight in the natural state is 17.6 kN/m³. The laboratory test on the soil sample revealed that the void ratio in its loosest and densest state are respectively 0.76 and 0.45. If the specific gravity is assumed to be 2.65, then the relative density (in percentage, correct up to two decimal places) of the soil sample is (Take g = 9.81 m/s²) Answer ㅋ
In a standard proctor test, 3.2 kg of moist soil was filling the mould of volume 944 cc after compaction. A soil sample weighing 40 gm was taken from the mould and oven dried for 24 hours at a temperature of 110°C. Weight of dry sample was found to be 34 gm. Specific gravity of soil solids is 2.5. The theoretical maximum value of the dry unit weight of soil at that water content is equal to
Situation 3: The total volume of a soil specimen is 80,000 mm 3 and it weighs 150 grams. The dry weight of the specimen is 130 grams and the density of the soil solids is 2680 Kg/m3 . Find the following: a. The water content b. Void Ratio c. Porosity d. Degree of saturation e. Saturated unit weight f. Dry unit weight
a. The moisture content of the soil specimen is 20%, and the total weight is 300 gr. Calculate the void ratio and degree of saturation if the total volume was 180 cm3. (Gs = 2.5) b. A soil layer with a moisture content of 10 percent and a unit weight of 16.5 KN per cubic meter has a decrease in volume by 10 percent after compaction. Find the dry specific weight of the soil.
