OMC-Proctor's Test A sample of dry sand has a volume of 1000 ml in its natural state. Its minimum volume when compacted is 750 ml. When gently poured into a measuring cylinder, its possible maximum volume is 1320 ml. what is the relative density?
????
A compaction test was conducted in a soils laboratory using the Standard Proctor Method B test procedure. The weight of the compact soil specimen plus mold and baseplate was determined to be 3841 g. The volume and mass of the mold were 943.7 cm³ and 2066.0 g, respectively. A moisture content test was carried out on a representative portion of the sample and the results were 9.8%. Required Determine the dry unit weight in metric units, to the nearest 100th. Your Answer:
As a result of sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis on a soil sample, gravel 40% and sand 18%. Liquid limit value of the soil 58% and plasticity index was determined as 32%. D60, D30 and D10 values according to grain distribution curve 2.4mm, 0.9mm and 0.2mm respectively. According to the findings obtained, the soil sample Make USCS classification.
homework assignment practice
Discuss your results and compare your results with any published data. For the bulk density test, obtain the value of dry density. How does the values of (i) void ratio (ii) porosity influenced your results? How will these values differ if the soil is fully saturated, partially saturated or submerged? Support your assertions using relevant phase relationship equations. Whatwill happen to the values of particle density (specific gravity) obtained if the soil sample contain large quantities of peat or organic material? How will the results be used in specific practical conditions in the construction industry? Explain any source(s) of error in your experiment and state how it affected your result.
