A soil that contains only sizes between 0.1 and 1 mm can be classified as uniform sand Select one: O True O False
A sand is comprised of solid constituents that have a density (ps) of 2.68 Mg/m³. The void ratio, e, of the specimen is 0.58. Compute the following: (a) pa; (b) density when saturated, psat, and (c) relative density, Dr, using additional information that this soil has a maximum void ratio, emax, of 0.85 and a minimum void ratio, emin, of 0.43. (include your phase diagram(s)) (a) kg/m³ (b) kg/m³ (c)
3.) A SAMPLE OF SAND HAS A RELATIVE DENSITY OF 40% N/A SOLID SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF 2.65 THE MINIMUM VOID RATIO 1 0.45 AND THE MAX VOID RATIO K 0.97. 9) DETERMINE THE VOID RATIO OF THE SAND AT RELATIVE DENSITY OF 40% b.)
