A cylindrical soil sample prepared for laboratory testing has a diameter of 71 mm, aheight of 142 mm, and weighs 10.675 x10^-3 kN. If the degree of saturation is 93%and the specific gravity of soil solids is 2.71, determine the void ratio,and water content. Please this asap. For upvote. Thanks
For a sand sample, the maximum and minimum possible void ratios were determined in the laboratory to be 0.94 and 0.33, respectively. The relative density of the sand is 0.75 and the moisture content is 10%. The specific gravity is Gs = 2.65. Determine the moist unit weight of the sand compacted in the field?
Can I get a step by step for this question? A loose, uncompacted sand fill 6-ft in depth has a relative density of 40%. Laboratory tests indicated that the maximum and minimum void of the ratios of the fill material are 0.9 and 0.46, respectively. The specific gravity of solids of the soil is 2.65. If the final height of the fill after compaction is 5.4 ft, the relative density of the compacted fill is most nearly?

FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS A constant head permeability test is performed on soil that is 2 cm x 2 cm square, and 2.5cm long. The head difference applied during the test is 20 cm and 7 cm3 is collected over a time of 100 sec. Provide step by step solution. a) Compute the permeability based on these test conditions and results. b) A falling head test is conducted on the same soil specimen at the same time (t1 – t2 = 100 sec), and the standpipe diameter is 0.8 cm. If the average head during the test should be 18 cm, what are h1 and h2 values?
