Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

A dry sand is placed in a containerhaving a volume of 0.0089 cm3. The dry weight of the sample is 0.014 grams. Water is carefully added to the container so as not to be disturbthe condition of the sand. When the container is filled, the combined weight of the of soil plus water is 0.0174 grams. With this, find the void ratio, the porosity, the water content, the specific gravity thepertinent unit weights of the soil sample.
The wet weight of a soil specimen is 207g. The dried weight of the specimen is 163g. If the volume of the specimen is measured before drying is 110 cubic centimeter, determine the Bulk specific weight.
