Q1-A construction site requires 100m3 of soil compacted at the maximum dry density estimated from laboratory standard compaction tests. Laboratory tests indicate the optimum moisture content is 12% and the degree of saturation at optimum is 85%. If the specific gravity is 2.7. a) Calculate the weight of dry soil required at the construction site. b) Calculate the total weight of soil that needs to be transported to the site if it is extracted from a borrow pit with a moisture content of 5%. i need solutions in 10 minutes please
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?
