You are checking a field-compacted layer of soil. The laboratory control curve has the following values: gd (kN/m3) w (%) 16.34 14 16.57 16 16.65 18 16.50 20 16.26 22 15.87 24 The specification for compaction states that the field-compacted soil must be at least 95% of the maximum control density and within of the optimum moisture for the control curve. You dig a hole 1m3 in the compacted layer and extract a sample that weighs 17.2 kN wet and 14.1 kN dry. (a) What is the compacted gd? The compaction w? The percent compaction? Does the sample meet the specifications? (b) If the specific gravity is 2.68, what is the compacted degree of saturation? If the sample were saturated at constant density, what would be the water content?
A soil sample collect near the stadium has a volume of 0.05 m3 and a mass of 87.5 kg. Assume the water content is 15% and the specific gravity of solids (Gs) is 68. Draw a block diagram showing all the necessary mass and volume terms. Use the mass and volume values computed above to compute: Void ratio Porosity Dry unit weight in units of kN/m3 Moist unit weight (unit weight of the sample) in units of kN/m3 Degree of saturation
A fine-grained soil has 60% clay with LL 220%, PL 545%, and a natural water content of 6%. Astandard Proctor test was carried out in the laboratory and the following data were recordedDiameter of mold = 101.40 mm Height of mold = 116.70 mm Mass of mold = 4196.50 gram Specific gravity, Gs = 2.69 a) What field equipment would you specify to compact the soil in the field, and why?b) How would you check that the specified dry unit weight and water content are achievedin the field?
