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).

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
