4. Specifications require that a fill using borrow soil to be compacted at 95% of its standard proctor maximum dry density. Tests indicate that this maxi- mum is 19.5 kilo Newtons per cubic meter with 12 % moisture. The borrow material has a void ratio of 0.60. Compute the minimum dry and wet unit weight of the compacted soil, compute also the minimum volume of borrow material required to fill 1 cubic meter when compacted. Note: Assume a logical value of Gs with at least 4 significant figures.
For a given soil, derive the following relation by drawing the three-phase diagram: Y: = Gs yw (1 - n) (1 + w)
PTOR The in-situ density of an embankment, compacted at a water content of 12% was determined with the help of a core cutter. The empty mass of the cutter was 1286 g and the cutter full of soil had a mass of 3195 g, the volume of the cutter being 1000 cm³. Determine the bulk density, dry density and the degree of saturation of the embankment. If the embankment becomes fully saturated during rains, what would be its water content and saturated T h unit weight? Assume no volume change in soil on saturation. Take the specific gravity of the soil as 2.70. ition:
