Qsoil basics properties.
A fully saturated soil sample has a volume of 28 cc. The sample was dried in oven and the weight of the dry soil pat was found to be 48.76g. Given G= 2.68. Determine the dry unit weight of soil in kN/m3.
Situation 1: Dry soil with Gs = 2.7 is mixed with water to produce 20% water content and compacted to produce a cylindrical sample of 40 mm diameter and 80mm long with 5% air content. Calculate the following: a. Mass of the mixed soil that will be required b. Void ratio of the sample c. Dry unit weight d. Moisture unit weight e. Saturated unit weight f. Amount of water to be added for full saturation.
