A cohesionless soil has a field relative density of 80%. The maximum and minimum void ratios are 0.85 and 0.55, respectively. Find its moist unit weight after compaction given that the specific gravity of the soil is 2.65 and its moisture content is 15%.

The top 500 mm of a site consists of a clayey sand with void ratio of 0.90 and water content of 20.0%. The specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.68. When the ground is compacted at the same water content, there is 45 mm reduction in the thickness of this layer. Determine the new void ratio and the moist unit weight of the soil.
