Transcribed Image Text:3.6 For a given sandy soil, emax = 0.75 and emin = 0.52. If Gs = 2.67 and D, =
65%, determine Void ratio and Dry unit weight. Ans.: e = 0.6, ya = 16.37kN/m3
3.7 For a given sandy soil, the maximum and minimum void ratios are 0.72
and 0.46, respectively. If Gs = 2.68 and o = 11%, what is the moist unit
weight of compaction (kN/m³) in the field if Dr = 82%. Ans.: Ymoist = 19.32 kN/m
3.8 In a construction project, the field moist unit weight was 18.08 kN/m³ at a
moisture content of 8%. If maximum and minimum dry unit weight
determined in the laboratory were 16.93 kN/m3 and 14.46 kN/m3,
respectively, what was the field relative density. Ans.: D, = 91.8%
