The moisture content of an undisturbed sample of clay belonging to a volcanic region is 265% under 100% saturation. The specific gravity of the solids is 2.5. The dry unit weight is 21 lb/ft'. Determine (i) the saturated unit weight, (ii) the submerged unit weight, and (iii) void ratio.
A soil sample in its natural state has, when fully saturated, a water content of 32.5%. Determine the void ratio, dry and total unit weights. Calculate the total weight of water required to saturate a soil mass of volume 10 m. Assume G = 2.69.
undisturbed soil sample has a total mass of 2290 g and volume of 1.15 x 10 cm'. Specifica ity of the soil mineral G. = 2.68. Recall pw = 1 g/cm'. (a) A natural water content test of the sample gave the following results mass of container: 17.31 g mass of container plus wet soil (before drying in oven) 43.52 g mass of container plus dry soil (after drying in oven) 39.86 g What is the natural water content of...
Question 6 (10 Marks) A partially saturated soil collected from field in a core cutter cylinder with diameter of 100mm and height of 127.5mm. The sample when weighed had 1700 grams. The specific gravity of soil was found to be 2.68. The sample had volume of voids as 400cm. Find the following, i. ii. iv. Porosity Void Ratio Bulk unit weight Dry unit weight Saturated unit weight Submerged unit weight Water content Water content at 50% saturation Water content at...
the only question to answer are 2-5 2-7 2-10 2-17 2-19 thank you CHAPTER Two 2-3. An undisturbed chunk of soil has a wet weight of 62 lb and a volume of o.s6 ft. When dried out in an oven, the soil weighs S0 Ib. If the specific gravity o solids is found to be 2.64, determine the water con- tent, wet unit weight of soil, dry unit soil. 2-13. The wet unit weight of a soil sample is 18.55...
From Geotechnical Engineering class Soil sample A and sample B each weigh 1 kN. Sample A is 100% saturated and sample B is 50% saturated. Is it possible for sample B to have more water than sample A? Explain. 2. 3. For a given soil, the following parameters are known: void ratio 0.68, specific gravity 2.75, moisture content-15%. Determine dry unit weight moist unit weight (total unit weight) water content at S=100% saturated unit weight (total unit weight when S=100%)...

Question of Soil Machanics. Thanks. Q4 In an oedometer test, the diameter of the clay sample was 70 mm and its original thickness was 19 mm. A normal pressure was applied to the sample and the reduction in thickness was 4 mm after 24 hours. The mass of the soil before and after the compression was measured to be 138.9 g and 123.5 g, respectively, and the dry mass of the soil was found to be 99.5 g. Assuming the...
PROBLEM3 In a sample of clay soil, the void ratio is 0.73 and the specific gravity of the solid particles G- 2.71. The degree of saturation of the soil sample is 92% A. Calculate the water content, and bulk and dry densities of the soil sample.
A field soil sample from a cylindrical borehole shown below was collected from field and oven- dried in the lab. Following are the available data.
