Read the question carefully and give me both a&b right solutions. A proctor compaction test in the laboratory on a borrow pit soil gives maximum unit weight of 19 kN/m3 and optimum water content of 11.5%. The bulk unit weight and water content of the soil in the borrow pit are 17.2 kN/m3 and 8.2%, respectively. A highway fill is to be constructed using this soil. The specifications require the fill to be compacted to 95% Proctor compaction. (a) What is the additional weight of water per unit volume required to bring the moisture content to the optimum value to achieve 95% Proctor compaction? (b) How many truckloads of borrow pit soil will be required for a 100,000 m3 highway embankment - assuming each truck has a capacity of 10 m3 ?

Describe the type and condition of soil required and occurrences responsible in the phenomenon of liquefaction.
A field density test has been conducted in a compacted fill that is currently under construction.The test results indicate a relative compaction of 101-103%, which made the constructionmanager believe the test must be incorrect. He believes it is impossible for the dry unit weightinthe field to be greater than the maximum dry unit weight from the Proctor compaction test.Explain why the relative compaction in the field could indeedbe greater than 100%.
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
How does the dry unit weight, differ from the unit weight ? Why is the Proctor method of assessing soil compaction based on the dry unit weight and not the unit weight?
How would you check that the design compaction is achieved in the field?
Laboratory compaction test results and fielddetermined in-place density (unit weight) results are reported in terms of dry density or unit weight and not wet density or unit weight. Outline the reasons for this procedure of reporting. (Hint: Consider the soil properties directly related to density or unit weight.)
