A sample of Achilles saturated with water has a mass of 1710 g. After heating in an oven, a constant mass of 1815 g is obtained. The density of solid Achilles seeds is 2.78 g/cm3. We are asked to calculate:
a) The water content and void ratio
b) The porosity and specific gravity of the clayey soil
c) The wet density of the clayey soil, the corresponding dry density and dry density

following stress distributions:
Pi is the initial prestressing force, Pe is the effective
prestressing force, M, is the bending moment due to self-
weight, Ma and M, are the dead load and live load bending
moment, respectively.
