Problem-1 The BEPZA authority decides to conduct a field compaction test by their own facilities. They already bought Ottawa sand, which is necessary for the field compaction test. However, the density is to be determined prior to its application, and hence, sand samples were sent to the geotechnical laboratory of CUET for the determination of density. The concerned staff of the laboratory has recorded the necessary data required for the determination of the density of the supplied soils, which is given in the following table: Trial Wt. of mould + dry soil (gm) Remarks 1 13471 Wt. of mould (gm) = 10028.00 Dia of mould (cm)=16.3, 16.3, 16.3 2 13465 3 13472 Height of mould (cm)=10.2, 10.2, 10.2 Determine the bulk and dry density of supplied Ottawa sand. Also, determine the void ratio of the soils.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem-1
The BEPZA authority decides to conduct a field compaction test by their own facilities. They
already bought Ottawa sand, which is necessary for the field compaction test. However, the density
is to be determined prior to its application, and hence, sand samples were sent to the geotechnical
laboratory of CUET for the determination of density. The concerned staff of the laboratory has
recorded the necessary data required for the determination of the density of the supplied soils,
which is given in the following table:
Trial Wt. of mould + dry soil (gm)
Remarks
1
13471
Wt. of mould (gm) = 10028.00
Dia of mould (cm)=16.3, 16.3, 16.3
2
13465
3
13472
Height of mould (cm)=10.2, 10.2, 10.2
Determine the bulk and dry density of supplied Ottawa sand. Also, determine the void ratio of the
soils.
