Geotechnical Engineering (UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION CORRECLTY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.) A moist soil weighed 895 g with a volume of 425 cm3. After drying, the sample weighed 775 g. Of the dried soil, 400 g was poured into a vessel loose state. Its volume subsequently determined to be 275 cm3. That same 400 g was then vibrated and tamped to a volume of 212 cm3 with Gs = 2.71. a. Determine the relative density of soil in %. b. Determine the designation of the granular soil based on its relative density.
A saturated 200 cm³ clay sample has a natural water content of 35%, shrinkage limit (SL) of 12%, and specific gravity of soil solids (Gs) of 2.70. Combining your knowledge gained form the first and second homework assignments, determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 5%.
