A granular soil located in a borrow pit is found to have an in place dry density of 1895 kg/m^3. In the laboratory, values of dry maximum density and minimum density are determined as 2100 kg/m^3 and 1440 kg/m^3, respectively. a. Compute the relative density of the soil in the borrow pit. b. Compute the void ratio of the soil in the natural condition if the maximum and minimum densities indicate void ratio ratios of 0.28 at the max density and 0.92 at minimum density. c. Compute the specific gravity of this soil.

A soil sample has a unit weight of 1,825 kg/m^3.t weighs 1,730 kg/m 3 when dry. The unit weight of the soil particle is 2,600 kg/m*3. Determine the following: a.) Maisture content b.) Void ratio c.) degree of saturation

How to solve the problem, Thank you.

8. A sample of soil has a water content w= 14.7%, and a cube of dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm × 10 cm weighs 18.4 N. The grain specific gravity Gs = 2.72. Calculate the unit weight, the void ratio and the degree of saturation. What would be the unit weight and the water content if the soil had the same void ratio, but was saturated? What would be the unit weight if the soil had a water content of zero?
