Part II. Uhit Weight Determination • The volume of the paraffin is equal to the weight of paraffin used to coat sample divided by the density of paraffin. Specific gravity of paraffin is 0.93 Wt. of paraffin = Wt. Soil coated with paraffin - Wt. of soil uncoated with paraffin %3D • The volume of the paraffin-coated sample is equal to the weight in air minus the weight in water, (express the weight in gm) • Wet density of soil = kg/m3 Complete the table below with complete solution (20 PTS) g/cc or %3D Description Density of paraffin wax (g/cc) Weight of soil (g) Weight of soil + paraffin wax (g) Weight of paraffin wax (g) Volume of paraffin wax (cc) Volume of soil + paraffin wax (ml) Volume of soil (cc) Unit weight of soil (kN/cu.m) Sample 0.93 58.12 63.14 40.00

Transcribed Image Text:Part II. Unit Weight Determination
• The volume of the paraffin is equal to
the weight of paraffin used to coat
sample divided by the density of
paraffin. Specific gravity of paraffin is
0.93
Wt. of paraffin = Wt. Soil coated with paraffin
- Wt. of soil uncoated with paraffin
• The volume of the paraffin-coated
sample is equal to the weight in air
minus the weight in water, (express the
weight in gm)
• Wet density of soil
kg/m3
