(3) A specially processed clay has particles that are 500 nm thick and 10,000 nm x 10,000 nm wide. The specific gravity of solids is 2.80. The particles lie perfectly parallel with an edge-to-edge spacing of 400 nm (i.e., they look like thin bricks stacked perfectly parallel). (a) Initially, the cation valence in the double layer is +1, resulting in a face-to-face spacing of 1500 nm. How many particles per cm will there be at this spacing? What are the void ratio and water content, assuming that the soil is at 100% saturation? (b) Another sample of the clay is mixed such that the cation valence is +2. What are the new yoid ratio and water content under these conditions?

EXAMPLE 2.6 Determination of Aggregate Requirement for a Roadway Aggregates from a gravel pit are required for constructing a road embankment. The porosity of the aggregates at the gravel pit is 60%. The desired porosity of the compacted aggregates in the embank- ment is 25%. For a section of the embankment 7.5m wide x 0.6m compacted thickness x 1 km long, (a) calculate the volume of aggregates required. (b) Just before the construction of the embank- ment, a re-check of the porosity of the aggregates at the gravel pit was conducted. The porosity was 65% rather than 60% (an error of +8.3%), what extra percentage of aggregates would be required to construct the embankment. Assume a swell factor of 1.
Void ratio is 25%, find porosity
