A soil sample with a volume of 4m3 and a mass of 9 ton is saturated due to a decrease of 0.2m3 in its total volume without changing the total mass and percentage of natural moisture. If the specific gravity of solid grains is 2.65, it is desirable to calculate 1) Percentage of soil moisture 2) Degree of initial soil saturation 3) Degree of porosity before and after soil volume change
