Dry soil is mixed with 14.5% by weight with water and the compacted moist soil has a volume of 1?10−3 m^3 and a mass of 1.6 kg. the soil solids have a specific gravity of 2.61.
Dry soil is mixed with 14.5% by weight with water and the compacted moist soil has a volume of 1?10−3 m^3 and a mass of 1.6 kg. the soil solids have a specific gravity of 2.61.
Given the following soil properties of a road grading works.
Moist unit weight = 1900 kg
Void ratio at its densest = 0.44
Moisture content = 12%
Void ratio at its loosest = 0.62
Specific gravity of solids = 2.66

9. What is the dry unit weight of the soil in kN/m^3
10. What is the void ratio of soil?
11. What is the degree of saturation of the soil?
12. find the vertical effective stress at 10m depth. assume unit weight of solids =26.5kN/m3 and that the solid above the capillary action rise and ground surface is partially saturated at 50%
