TNTN 351 9:33K/sA project engineer receives a laboratory report withtests performed on a certain soil sample on a particularlocation. The engineer suspects that one of themeasurements is in error. Are the engineer's suspicionscorrect? If so, Which of these values is wronq, and whatshould be its correct value? Given: *Unit weight of thesample = 18.4 kN/cu.m *Unit weight of solids= 26.1kN/cu.m *water content= 40% *void ratio= 1.12 *degreeof saturation= 95%the unit weight of the sample in incorrect,thus the correct value is 17.2 kN/ cu.mthe unit weight of the solids is incorrect, thusthe correct value is 25.2 kN/cu.mthe water content is incorrect, thus thecorrect value is 42 %the void ratio is incorrect, thus the correctvalue is 0.112the degree of saturation is incorrect, thus thecorrect value is 0.95all of the results were correct, thus engineersuspicions are void.Choose odd one out from the following:*Osborne ReynoldsJean Victor PonceletHenri Philibert Gaspard DarcyGeorge Howard Darwin

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?

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.
