Results from a liquid limit test conducted on a soil are given below. Number of blows, N 12 19 27 37 Moisture content (%) 35.2 29.5 25.4 21 a. Determine the liquid limit of the soil. b. If it is known that the PI = 6.5, what would be the plastic limit of the soil? C. Determine the liquidity index of the soil if w = 23.8% in situ

A sample of saturated clay was placed in a container and weighed. The weight was 6N. The clay in its container was placed in an oven for 24 hours at 105˚C. The weight reduced to a constant value of 5N. The weight of the container is 1N. If Gs = 2.7, determine: a) Water Content  b) Void Ratio  c) Bulk Unit Weight  d) Dry Unit Weight  e) Effective Unit Weight

Can u solve ?(readable)  A soil specimen is 38 mm in diameter and 76 mm long, and in its natural conditionweighs 168.0 g. When dried completely in an oven, the specimen weighs 130.5 g. The value ofGs is 2.73. What is the degree of saturation of the specimen?

3-8 A 1-ft3 of undisturbed soil sample has a dry weight of 107 lbs. The specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.70. Need Vs VT = 1 To solve for Vs = use the following equation Ws=Vs*Gs*yw (solve for Vs) a) Calculate the void ratio of the sample. b) Calculate the porosity of the sample. DC
