Give me right solution with clear calculations.
A compaction mould has the empty mass of 5000 g and the volume of 945 ml. When the compaction mould is full of the completely dry sand in its loosest state, the total mass is 6500 g and when it is full of the completely dry sand in its densest state, the total mass is 7245 g. If the water content of the sand when it is fully saturated at its natural state is 23%, calculate the relative density of the sand. (Assume that G,-2.70.)
An oven dry sand mass with a dry unit weight of 105pcf and Gs of 2.70 is placed outdoors in a container. Overnight, it rains. As it rains, the total volume of the soil specimen within the container remains the same, yet the S increases to 55% by the time the rain is over for the night. a. Determine the new total unit weight of the soil after the rain in units of pcf. Express your answer in four significant figures. Show full phase diagram.

A measure of density of compacted fills as part of the specification requirement was performed by digging a hole in the soil, weighing the extracted soil and measuring the volume of the hole. The soil (moist) weighed 900 grams, and the volume of hole was 420 cu.cm. After drying the sample weighed 770 grams. Of the dried soil, 410 grams was poured into a vessel in a very loose state. Its volume was subsequently determined to be 280 cm3 . The same 410 grams of dried soil was then vibrated and tamped to a volume of 220 cm3 . If the sp.gr.of the soil sample is 2.70. a. Compute the void ratio of soil in situ state. b. Compute the void ratio in the densest state. c. Compute the relative density of the soil.

A compaction test was conducted in the laboratory and the following information was obtained: • The weight of the compacted soil specimen (including the mold) was determined to be 3815 • The volume of the mold = 1/30 ft³ (944 cm³) • The weight of the mold = 2050 g • The water content in the soil was determined to be 9.1% Find the dry unit weight of the soil (in units of kN/m³).
The plastic limit and liquid limit of a soil are 30% and 42% respectively. The percentage volume change from the liquid limit to dry state is 35% of the dry volume. Similarly, the percentage volume change from the plastic limit to the dry state is 22% of the dry volume. Determine the shrinkage limit.
