    The document contains calculations to determine various properties of soil including swell, shrinkage, dry unit weight, and slope stability. It first calculates the swell of the soil to be 9.05% based on the loose and compacted unit weights. It then determines the shrinkage is 20.02%. Additional calculations find the dry unit weight of a soil sample to be 10.156 kN/m3 when accounting for swell. Slope stability is analyzed for two cases, finding factors of safety against sliding of 17.5636 and 10.156.
