Dry soil is mixed with 19% by weight with water and then compacted. The moist soil has a volume of 1x 10 3 m3 and a mass of 1.6 kg. The soil solids have specific gravity of 2.72. 1. What is the dry unit weight of the soil? 2. What is the void ratio of the soil? 3. What is the degree of saturation of the soil?

The saturated unit weight of a soil is 20.5 kN/m3. The moisture content of the soil is 15%. Determine the following: a). Dry unit weight, b). Specific gravity of soil solids; c) Void ratio; d) The unit weight of soil when the degree of saturation is 80%.

4.1.6 The degree of saturation of a cohesive soil is 100%. The clay when wet weighs 1489g and after drying weighs only 876g. Find the water content of the soil. Draw a phase diagram and properly label it. Compute the void ratio and the porosity, the total density and the dry density.

The moisture content of a saturated clay is 160.0 %. The specific gravity of the soil solids Gs is 2.40. What are the wet and dry densities of the saturated clay?
