e) Calculate the moisture range tor the 95% yalue. f) The soil will be compacted to its 95% of maximwm dry density (dry side of optimum water content). The transfered soil to the construction site has a water content of 12.0 %. How much (m³) water should be added or removed to 1 m³ compacted solid xolume during the compaction procedure? (Assume that the mass of solid does not change.) The results of a Standard Çompaction test are shown in the table below. w. (%) 6.5 8.2 9.5 11.2 12.3 13.2 23:(kN/m²) 16.5 19.5 19.9 18.2 20.2 19.6

Refer to Problem 2.C.1. Results of the sieve analysis for Soils A, B, and C are given below. To obtain a more representative sample for further geotechnical testing, a ternary blend is created by uniformly mixing 8000 kg of each soil. Answer the following questions. a. If a sieve analysis is conducted on the mixture using the same set of sieves as shown above, compute the mass retained (as a percentage) and cumulative percent passing in each sieve. b. What would be the uniformity coefficient (Cu) and the coefficient of gradation (Cc) of the mixture?

Refer to the soil in Problem 4.5. Using the Casagrande plasticity chart, graphically estimate the shrinkage limit of the soil as shown in Figure 4.22. 4.5 The following data were obtained by conducting liquid limit and plastic limit tests on a soil collected from the site. Liquid limit tests: Plastic limit test: PL = 19.3% a. Draw the flow curve and determine the liquid limit. b. Using the Casagrande plasticity chart (Figure 4.21), determine the soil type.
