Transcribed Image Text:PROBLEM 1
A soil sample has a mass of 145 grams and a volume of 79.8 cm³. After 24 hrs. of oven
drying the soil has a mass of 132.6 grams. If the soil grains have a specific gravity of 2.65,
determine the following:
а.
Void Ratio
b.
The total mass of water to make the soil 75% Saturated.
С.
Volume of water need to be added to make the soil Fully Saturated.
PROBLEM 2
A Soil sample has a volume of 55 cm³. When this soil is poured into a graduated cylinder, it
displaces 30 cm3 of water. If the specific gravity of soil is 2.72 and the air voids is 15%.
Determine the following:
a.
Void Ratio
Degree of saturation of the soil.
The volume of water to be added to make the soil fully saturated.
d. The volume of water to deducted to make the moisture content of the soil half.
b.
C.
