You are a project Engineer on a site. You receive a laboratory report with tests performed on marine marl (calcareous silt). You suspect that one of the measurements is in error. Please determine which one of these values is wrong, and what should be its correct value? The laboratory data are: Unit weight of the soil (y) = 18.4 kN/m Unit weight of solid (ys) = 26.1 kN/m Water content of soil (w) = 40% Void ratio (e) = 1.12 Degree of saturation (S) = 95%
Analyze each statement (A and B) whether they are true or false. Use the choices below in answering each item; A statement A is true B statement B is true C both A and B are true D neither A nor B are true (A) As the soil becomes compacted, both bulk density and particle density increase. (B) Porosity is inversely proportional to bulk density, meaning as bulk density increases percent porosity decreases, and vice versa.
