Consider a soil contaminated with gasoline (specific gravity=0.9) with the following characteristics: density of the soil (rho s) = 2.67 Mg/m3, w (water content) =30%, volume of the gasoline is 15% of the volume of the water, and 75% of the void space is filled with gasoline and water. You can assume that Vs = 1 m3 or you can assume Vt = 1 ft3 but not both assumptions.  Complete the phase diagram in the figure below Find the void ratio and porosity of the specimen Find the total and dry density of the specimen

Question

Can you please help with this: Consider a soil contaminated with gasoline (specific gravity=0.9) with the following characteristics: density of the soil (rho s) = 2.67 Mg/m3, w (water content) =30%, volume of the gasoline is 15% of the volume of the water, and 75% of the void space is filled with gasoline and water. You can assume that Vs = 1 m3 or you can assume Vt = 1 ft3 but not both assumptions. 

  1. Complete the phase diagram in the figure below
  2. Find the void ratio and porosity of the specimen
