A sample of saturated clay was placed in a container and weighed. The weight was 6N. The clay in its container was placed in an oven for 24 hours at 105˚C. The weight reduced to a constant value of 5N. The weight of the container is 1N. If Gs = 2.7, determine: a) Water Content b) Void Ratio c) Bulk Unit Weight d) Dry Unit Weight e) Effective Unit Weight
8. A sample of soil has a water content w= 14.7%, and a cube of dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm × 10 cm weighs 18.4 N. The grain specific gravity Gs = 2.72. Calculate the unit weight, the void ratio and the degree of saturation. What would be the unit weight and the water content if the soil had the same void ratio, but was saturated? What would be the unit weight if the soil had a water content of zero?
Can u solve ?(readable) A soil specimen is 38 mm in diameter and 76 mm long, and in its natural conditionweighs 168.0 g. When dried completely in an oven, the specimen weighs 130.5 g. The value ofGs is 2.73. What is the degree of saturation of the specimen?
A soils specimen has a total volume of 95000 mm3 and its mass is 175 g. The dry mass of the specimen is 167 g, and the density of the soil solids is 2.70 Mg/m3. Find: water content, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, wet density, dry density. Give the wet and dry density in both SI and British units.
