A 1000g of sand has been soaked for at least 24hours prior to lab. After drying the sample to saturated surface dry condition, the samples were split into two and put in tare cans. Can1+sample weigh 800g and can2+sample weigh 300g. Can1+sample was used for determining the specific gravity, where volume of water displaced in flask is 320cc. Can2+sample was used for determining the oven-dry weight which resulted to 280g. If the weight of can 1 and 2 is 5g and 6g respectively, determine the Absorption capacity and specific gravity of sand.
An ASTM D 854 test was done on a sand. The data are shown below. Calculate the specific gravity. Mass of pychnometer = 46.1 grams Mass of pychnometer and dry soil = 67.4 grams Mass of pychnometer, dry soil and water = 157.7 grams Mass of pychnometer and water = 140.9 grams

A dry sand is placed in a containerhaving a volume of 0.0089 cm3. The dry weight of the sample is 0.014 grams. Water is carefully added to the container so as not to be disturbthe condition of the sand. When the container is filled, the combined weight of the of soil plus water is 0.0174 grams. With this, find the void ratio, the porosity, the water content, the specific gravity thepertinent unit weights of the soil sample.
