3. The following data were recorded during a shrinkage limit test on a clay soil pat: V, = 20.6, V, = 13.8 cm2, M, = 475 g, and mass of dry soil, M, = 34.6 g. Determine the shrinkage limit and the shrinkage ratio.
A laboratory test was conducted to determine the shrinkage limit of a soil sample. The following data were obtained: Mass of dish = 12.78 g. Mass of dish plus wet soil = 39.57 g. Mass of dish plus oven-dried soil = 34.71 g. Volume of shrinkage dish = 14.63 cc. Volume of oven-dried soil pat = 12.70 cc. Determine the shrinkage limit. Determine the shrinkage ratio.
The following data were recorded during a shrinkage limit test on a clay soil pat: Vi = 20. 9 cm³, Vf = 12. 9 cm², M, 46. 8 g and mass of dry soil, M2 = 34.4 g. Determine the shrinkage limit and the shrinkage ratio. Note that the density of the water is 1 grams/cm³ ints) The foll
