Soil Compaction Test

Soil compaction is the major area of geotechnical engineering. Soil is composed of multiple pores present on its surface, while the soil is mainly composed of gravel, sand, rocks, etc. The arrangement of these rocks and gravels is such that they build up voids (spaces) between them, which allows spaces for the roots of the plants and crops to spread and absorb the required amount of nutrients. Soil compaction is a major problem primarily caused by human activities, micro-organisms, and other multiple factors.

It is needed to determine the moist unit weight of the soil for field compaction testing. A silty soil sample has a mass of 612 grams. The soil sample was then covered in beeswax and the combined weight was 650 g. The soil covered in wax, was then immersed in the water and the graduated cylinder registered a volume difference of 404 ml. The wax was gently peeled off the soil. Moisture content = 12% Specific Gravity = 2.78 But if the wax has a specific gravity of 0.94, determine the following: Dry unit weight of the soil Void ratio of the soil % of air in relation to the soil solids of the sample
A soil with a volume of 163cm^3 is sampled from a field. It weighs 221g. Then, the sample was saturated until the pores were filled and now weighs 273g. The sample was drained and weighed 236g.

What is the percent moisture content by volume (theta v) at saturation %?
You are working in a lab and are tasked with determining the percent plant available water for a particular soil sample. You take a field soil sample. The mass of your sample was 152g and it had 18.3% moisture by mass. Then, you place the soil sample in your pressure plate extractor and determine that the soil sample weighs 164.2g when the moisture potential is -33kPa and 130.7g at -1500kPa. What is the percent plant available moisture by mass of this soil sample? Please answer to one decimal place.
