SITUATION 1-A 1000 cc soil sample taken from the field weighs 1950 grams. Laboratory analysis shows that the specific gravity of soil solids is 2.65 and its water content is 13%. The voids ratio at its loosest and densest states are 0.68 and 0.48, respectively. Calculate the following: 1. The in-situ void ratio of the soil mass. 2. The dry unit weight of the soil. 3. The relative density of the soil.
