Question

The following results are obtained from standard compaction test for a soil, if Gs = 2.5

*Water Content (%)*	*6.2*	*8.1*	*9.8*	*11.5*	*12.3*	*13.2*
*Unit weight (kN/m3)*	*16.9*	*18.7*	*19.5*	*20.5*	*20.4*	*20.1*

Required:

1- The optimum water content (Wc %)

2- The maximum dry unit weight ( dry )

3- The void ratio (e)

4- Degree of saturation (S %)

5- Find the weight of water needed to be added to 1 m3 to reach 100% saturation.
