- 1. (i) A dry soil has a void ratio of 0.65 and its grain specific gravity is = 2.80. What is its unit weight?(ii) Water is added to the sample so that its degree of saturation is 60% without any change in void ratio. Determine the water content and unit weight.(iii) The sample is next placed below water. Determine the true unit weight (not considering buoyancy) if the degree of saturation is 95% and 100% respectively. 2. A sample of saturated soil has a water content of 35%. The specific gravity of solids is 2.65. Determine its void ratio, porosity, saturated unit weight and dry unit weight 3.
