Question
PROBLEM No. 5 A test of density of soil in place was performed by digging a small hole in the soil, weighing the extracted soil, and measuring the volume of the hole. The soil (moist) weighed 895 g; the volume of the hole was 426 cm³. After drying, the sample weighed 779 g. Of the dried soil, 400 g was poured into a subsequently determined to be 276 cm³. That same 400 g was then vibrated and tamped to volume of 212 cm³. If the specific density is 2.71, determine the following: vessel in a very loose state. Its volume was Moist unit weight in g/cm³. Minimum dry unit weight in g/cm³. Maximum dry unit weight in g/cm³. а. b. С. d. Void ratio in natural state. е. Void ratio in loosest state. f. Void ratio in densest state. g. Relative density of the soil.
