A soil excavated from a borrow pit has an in place dry unit weight of 18.51 kN/cu.m. In the lab, the values of dry max and min unit weights are 20.79kN/cu.m and 14.16 kN/cu.m respectively. DETERMINE THE FF: A. Compute the relative density of the soil samplein percent. B.Compute the void ratio in the natural condition if emax=0.921and emin=0.289. C.Compute the specific gravity of the soil.

Consider that a 58.7 gram sample of dry soil is used in making a mechanical analysis by using the hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F). The 40 s hydrometer reading was found to be 32.5 and the 8 hr hydrometer reading was 15.5. The percentage of sand in this soil sample is (note, a 58.7 gram sample is used here): Your Answer: Answer units
