SITUATION 3: The optimum moisture content of a soil is 19.5% and its maximum dry density is 1.75 g/cc. The specific gravity of solids is 2.56. Determine the following: a. Degree of saturation and percentage of air voids of the soil at OMC. b. The theoretical dry density in kg/m³ at OMC corresponding to zero air voids.
