A hydrometer test has the following result: Gs = 2.65, temperature of water = 26 C, and L = 10.4 cm at 45 minutes after the start of sedimentation (see Figure 2.25). What is the diameter D of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (that is, t = 45 min)?

Sieve analysis on a dry sample of mass 1000g showed that 980 g and 270 g of soil pass through the 4.75 mm and 0.075 mm sieve respectively. The liquid limit and plastic limits of the soil fraction passing through the 0.075 mm sieves are 40% and 18%. The soil may classify as (USCS): (Justify your answer) a.SC-SM b.SM c.SC d.GC

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 ?
