Specific gravity of soil grains=2.7 Calculate (i) Wet density of the soil (i) Dry density (ii) void ratio (iv) degree of saturation C4: Old records of a soil compacted in the past, give compaction water content saturation of 85%. What might be the density of the soil? Q.5: The following data are available in connection with the construction of an embankment: (2) Soil from borrow Pit: Natural density = 1.75 Mg/m’, Natural moisture content (b) (b) Soil after Compaction: Density 2 Mg/m’, water content 18% Fr every 100 m’ of compacted soil of the embankment, estimate (i) the quantity of soil to be excavated from the borrow pit, and (ii) the amount of water to be added. 6: A field density test was conducted by core cutter method. The observation data is given yelow: vlass of empty core cutter = Vass of soil + core cutter = 4950 gm ater dimensions of core cutter: 9.10 cm dia and 17.8 cm height vlass of sample for moisture content determination = 34 gm vlass of oven dry sample = 50 gm ipecific gravity of soil grains = 2.7 ; determine: (i) dry density (ii) void ratio (iii) degree of saturation7a samples saturated at a water content of 30%, what i its density, Assume Gs =27 +: A sil inthe borow pit isa a dey density of 1.7 Mgr’ with water content of 12% tr Base of 2000 cubie meter volume is excavated from it and compacted in an embankmer, swith a. porosity ratio of 0.32, calculate the volume of the embankment, which can be Constructed out ofthis material.

Assume Gs-2 68 LQ. 11: A sand replacement west was performed 10 determine the in-situ density of @ fill comprising cohesion less soil. The weight of the soil excavated from the pit was 2100 gm. The volume of the pit determined by filling the sand inthe pit was 1000 ce. The excavated soil was ven dried and its weigh was Found t be 1900 gm. Using this dry sol a vessel of volume 400 2 was filled with soil in its loosest state, The weight of the loose soil in the vessel was measured to be 730 gm, Then the vesel filled with soil was placed on a vibratory table Wibate it accocding to the standard method, The volume of the compacted soil in the vessel ‘fee vibration was found to be 300 ce. Determine the relative density ofthe fill = suming 62.70 2: The natural moisture content of a borrow material is 8 %.
