A carefully-weighed 52.9 gram soil sample was dispersed for particle-size analysis using the Bouyoucos hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F). The hydrometer reading after 40 seconds was 20.1 and the hydrometer reading after 8 hours was 5.1. What percentage of particles in the soil sample were clay-sized? Your Answer: Answer units
The moisture content of the natural soil as obtained from the oven drying method is 8 % and its unit weight in the natural state is 17.6 kN/m³. The laboratory test on the soil sample revealed that the void ratio in its loosest and densest state are respectively 0.76 and 0.45. If the specific gravity is assumed to be 2.65, then the relative density (in percentage, correct up to two decimal places) of the soil sample is (Take g = 9.81 m/s²) Answer ㅋ

Discuss your results and compare your results with any published data. For the bulk density test, obtain the value of dry density. How does the values of (i) void ratio (ii) porosity influenced your results? How will these values differ if the soil is fully saturated, partially saturated or submerged? Support your assertions using relevant phase relationship equations. Whatwill happen to the values of particle density (specific gravity) obtained if the soil sample contain large quantities of peat or organic material? How will the results be used in specific practical conditions in the construction industry? Explain any source(s) of error in your experiment and state how it affected your result.
