A soil has a bulk (total) unit weight of γ = 120 lb/ft3 and water content w = 18%. Take Gs = 2.67. Fill in a completed phase diagram for this soil. Then, calculate: a) void ratio, e; b) porosity, n ; c) degree of saturation, Sr; d) saturated unit weight, γsat (in lb/ft3).
17. A soil has a ?-110 lb/ft, a water content of 17%, and a Gs-2.7. (15 points) Draw the phase diagram and fill it in with the appropriate n Solve for the items requested below a. b. (Ib/ft') (Ib/ft3) (Ib/ft3)
