Problem 1--- In the natural and moist state of the soil, its total volume is 0.00940 cubic meter and its total weight is 180N. The oven dried weight of the soil is 150N. If specific gravity of soil solids, Gs=2.68, determine the following; a) water content, b) moist unit weight, c) dry unit weight, d) void ratio, e) degree of saturation ● • Problem 2 --- A soil sample of uniform sand has a porosity of 44%. From the laboratory test, the value of the void ratio in the loosest condition is 0.85 and a void ratio of 0.33 in the densest condition. If the water content is 12% and Gs=2.70, determine the following; a) density index, b) degree of saturation, c) moist unit weight
