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%.

. The maximum dry unit weight obtained from a standard compaction test on a silty sand forest road subgrade soil is 110 lb/ft3. The corresponding optimum water content is 26%. The compaction specifications call for compaction to 90% or greater of the maximum dry unit weight by the standard compaction test, and a water content of 2% less than the optimum water content. If the existing natural water content is 17%, how much water, in gallons, must be added per cubic yard of compacted soil to meet the specification?
Approximate the maximum dry unit weight in kN/cu.m. Approximate the optimum moisture content. And If the required relative compaction in the field is 95%, what must be the required dry unit weight of the soil in the field in kN/cu.m.? NEED ASAP. THANK YOU
please solve
A compaction test was performed on a soil sample from a proposed cut area. The maximum dry unit weight and optimum moisture content were determined to be 104.8 lb/ft3 and 20.7% respectively. What is the possible type or classification of soil for this sample?
a) A saturated soil element has a specific gravity of 2.65 and water content of 10%. Determine the void ratio. b) The mass of a sample of moist soil is 240 grams. The sample is then dried in the oven and the mass reduces to 190 grams. Determine the water content of the soil as it was brought to the lab.
Please answer both.... Pleaseee give me both answers.. help me... Thank you
