QUESTION 3 A saturated, normally consolidated clay has a water content of 30, a liquid limit of 40, and a plastic limit of 20. The specific gravity of solids in the clay is 2.70. After demolition of an existing building, the effective vertical stress in the clay reduced to half of the prior stress. Most nearly, how much will the void ratio of this clay increase after unloading?
The effective stress parameters for a fully saturated clay are known to be c'=17KN/m3 and phi'=30degrees. In an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test on a specimen of the same clay, the chamber pressure sigma3 was 100KN/m2 and the principal stress differene (sigma1-sigma3) at failure was 180KN/m3. What was the value of pore water pressure in this specimen at failure?
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 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.
A 10000 Gravity of 2.71. A fill was then placed over the clay causing compression is called Consolidation. During this process some of the water was e volume of Saturated Clay had a Void Ratio of 0,962 and a Specific This squeezed out of the clay layer voids. However, the volume of the solids remained unchanged. After consolidation the yoid ratio was 0.758. I. Compute the initial and final moisture content of the clay in% 2. Compute the final(new) volume...

In the laboratory, a paste specimen was prepared using 45 g of water and 100 g of cement then sealed to prevent the loss of water. The paste specimen was cured for 28 days in the constant room temperature. After the 28 days of curing period, a sample from the paste specimen was obtained by breaking off the specimen and the sample was dried in the oven at 105°C for 24 hours. After this oven drying, the sample was then...
