Question
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
