Transcribed Image Text:EX.1
A soil sample has a unit weight of (1.9gm/cc) and the water content=12%, if
Gs=2.65, determine: dry unit weight, degree of saturation, void ratio, porosity.
EX.2
A partially saturated soil has a volume of (6x10*m³) and weight of (0.902N). The
sample is dried in an oven and its dried weight is (0.724N), if specific gravity is
(2.6), find degree of saturation.
EX.1
The mass of moist soil sample collected from the field is 465gm, and its oven dry
mass is 405.76 gm. The specific gravity of the soil solids was determined in the
laboratory to e 2.68. If the void ratio of the soil in the
the following:
1. The moist density of the soil in the field (Kg/m³)
2. The dry density of the soil in the field (Kg/m³)
tural state is 0.83, find
3. The mass of water, in kilograms, to be added in cubic meter of soil in the
field for saturation
