One of the standard methods of measuring specific gravity of solids uses a pycnometer. The pycnometer is first filled with water then it is refilled with a known mass of dry soil plus water so that the volume is the same as before. Using this method on a certain soil sample, the following data were obtained: -Mass of moist soil = 81.811 g -Moisture content = 11.166% -Mass of pycnometer plus water = 327.199 g Then mass of soil and water refilled so that the volume is the same as before. -Mass of pycnometer + soil + water = 373.161 g -Volume of pycnometer = 250 ml DETERMINE THE FF AND SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION 1. Compute the specific gravity of this soil. 2. Compute the degree of saturation if the void ratio is 0.5416 3. Compute the air void ratio of the soil. (air void ratio is the ratio of volume of air voids to the total volume)
SITUATION 3 A sample of clay soil of volume 1/1000 cubic meter and mass of 1.762 kg, after being dried out in an oven had a mass of 1.368 kg. The specific gravity of the particles was 2.69. Calculate the void ratio. Your answer Find the volume of air in the original sample. Your answer Determine the density of sample of soil when completely saturated, assuming that it has the same void ratio. Your answer
