SITUATION 5 For loose uncompacted sand: Dr= 40%, e(min)= 0.46, e(max)= 0.90, Gs= 2.65 The height of the soil sample (H) is equal to 2- meters. (a) Solve the dry unit weight of the soil in kN/ cubic meters. (b) If the soil is compacted so that Dr = 75% what is the decrease in thickness of the soil sample in meters.
