ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR THE EXPERIMENT TITLE “Water Content In Soil”
PROBLEM No. 5 A test of density of soil in place was performed by digging a small hole in the soil, weighing the extracted soil, and measuring the volume of the hole. The soil (moist) weighed 895 g; the volume of the hole was 426 cm³. After drying, the sample weighed 779 g. Of the dried soil, 400 g was poured into a subsequently determined to be 276 cm³. That same 400 g was then vibrated and tamped to volume of 212 cm³. If the specific density is 2.71, determine the following: vessel in a very loose state. Its volume was Moist unit weight in g/cm³. Minimum dry unit weight in g/cm³. Maximum dry unit weight in g/cm³. а. b. С. d. Void ratio in natural state. е. Void ratio in loosest state. f. Void ratio in densest state. g. Relative density of the soil.
A dry soil sample has the total mass (kg) shown in the table below. Use the data provided to complete the MVR table and determine the engineering parameters listed below. Write all answers for the mass/volume table to three decimal places and write all the answers for the engineering parameters (w, n. PT.PD. YT.& YD) as real numbers only (i.e. no %) to two decimal places. Be consistent with the units provided but do not include the units in your answer. VOLUME Va = Blank 1 m³ Vw = Blank 2 m³ Vs = Blank 4 m³ V₁ = Blank 6 m³ void ratio = 0.45 water content = Blank 7 porosity = Blank 8 Total density (kg/m3) = Blank 9 Dry density (kg/m3) = Blank 10 Total unit weight (kN/m3) = Blank 11 Dry unit weight (kN/m3) = Blank 12 AIR WATER p=1000 kg/m³ SOLIDS R.D. = 2.70 MASS Ma = 0 kg Mw = Blank 3 kg Ms = Blank 5 kg MT= 452.650 kg

Unit weight of water is 62.4 pcf. How would you find the volumes of water vs soil/solid and how much air their is for soil A when not fully saturated? See images for problem information and equations known.
The following observations are taken in the laboratory for determining the water content of a clay sample: a) Weight of container + wet soil = 0.166 lb. b) Weight of container + dry soil = 0.14 lb. c) Weight of empty container = 0.078 lb. Assuming the sample to be fully saturated before oven-drying, determine the natural w, n, and e. Also determine the unit weights of soil before and after it is dried. What will be the unit weight under water? (Gs = 2.70).
