(1) The moisture content of a clay soil intended for civil work is 22.4 %. The specific gravity of the solid portion of the clay soil is 2.71. Critically analysis the variation of void with degree of saturation and Examine the void ratio, and the dry and wet densities at 50 % saturation on the soil samples (2) A soil to be used for GOIL filing station has been found to have a volume of 14.88 , the total mass of 28.81g and dry mass of 24.83 g. Specific gravity of the solid particles has also been found to be 2.7. As a Civil Engineer discuss the implication of: void ratio and degree of saturation.
A soil sample has 98% passing the No. 4 sieve and 74% passing the No. 200 sleve. The LL for the soils 58% and the PI is 30%. Classify the soil according to the USCS. Show step by step solutions.
A one-dimensional consolidation test was performed on a sample, 0.75-inch high, taken from a field clay layer. During the test, drainage was allowed at the upper and lower boundaries. It took the lab sample 15 minutes to reach 50% consolidation. If the clay layer in the field has the same drainage condition as the lab sample, calculate how many days it will require the 10 feet clay layer to achieve 50% and 90% consolidation.
Please i need help to solve this question.. A sample of the soil was taken for oedometer test and the initial thickness of the sample was 19 mm for astress increment of 100 kPa, calculate coefficient of permeability(k), coefficient of compressibility (mv) andcoefficient of consolidation (cv) from the data obtained as following: (hint: use the root time method).
