Sheet (1)
A) In its natural condition acubic soil sample has a mass 300 g and 5cm long,
After being completely dried in an oven the mass of the sample is 2035 g.
The value of Gs for the soil is 2.68, Determine the bulk density, unit
weight, water content, void ratio, degree of saturation .
B) Derive that:
1) Wc * Gs = e * s
2) n = e / (1+e)
C) In its natural condition a soil sample has a weight 2290 gm and a volume
of 1.15×103 m3, After being completely dried in an oven the weight of the
sample is 2035 gm. The value of (Gs) for the soil is (2.68).
Determine: the bulk unit weight - dry unit weight - water content - void
ratio porosity - degree of saturation - air content.
