Explain in detail with the case drawing critical void ratio in soil
For the graph sake I hand written the answer, hope you understand.
In second line, it starts from ," graph of change of void...."
CVR ( critical void ratio) showed in dashed line.
A sandy soil has a maximum void ratio (emax) of 0.63 and a minimum void ratio (emin) of 0.36. The soil is compacted to a dry unit of 17.8 Kn/m at a moisture content of 1896. The specific gravity of the solids is 2.7. What is the relative density of the soil after compaction?
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 proposed embankment fill requires 5000 m3 of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified as 0.75. Soil can be transported from one of the four borrow pits as shown in the table below. The void ratio, specific gravity of soil solids, and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site are provided in the table. a. Determine the volume of each borrow pit soil required to meet the specification...
A soil sample has a void ratio of 0.23. The specific gravity of the solids is 2.6. The saturated unit weight of the soil is most nearly 28 kN/m3 26 kN/m3 23 kN/m3 32 kN/m3
Describe how the relationship between void ratio and effective stress makes an impact on soil consolidation.
Void ratio for a rate of compaction of 95.0% the soil solids have a specific gravity of 2.78. Modified Proctor Test 130.0 125.0 120.0 Dry Unit Weight (pcf) 115.0 110.0 105.0 0.0 5.0 15.0 20.0 10.0 w (%)
What is the volume of water in the sample? A soil sample has a void ratio of .65 and saturation index of 17%. The sample was taken in situ using a 24-inch long cylindrical split-spoon sampler that has an inner radius (sample radius) of 1.50 inches. What is the volume of water in the sample? Express your answer in cubic feet. 3,
The bulk unit weight of a dry soil with void ratio 0.63 is 16.5 kN/m3. Its Specific gravity is most likely a) 2.52 b) 2.63 c) 2.74 d) 1.92
The top 500 mm of a site consists of a clayey sand with void ratio of 0.8 and water content of 10 %. The specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.66. When the ground is compacted at the same water content, there is a 35 mm reduction in the thickness of this layer. Determine: a. New void ratio. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.) enew- b. Unit weight of the soil. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.)...
