Question

UU Triaxial Compression Test... (Unconsolidated, Undrained Comp. Test) Given this data below how would I found the UNIT WEIGHT OF THIS SOIL (in kN/mA3)!!! All my methods I try result in values completely out of the typical ranges for soil.. Please if you can add some text to your calculations to help me understand what is happening. Please and Thank you very much, will give thumbs up!

Explanation / Answer

Bulk unit weight of soil = 1.98 Mg/m3

                                     = 1.98 x 1000 x 9.81 N/m3

                                     = 1.98 x 9.81 kN/m3

                                            = 19.424 kN/m3

Dry unit weight of soil = 1.61 Mg/m3

                                     = 1.61 x 1000 x 9.81 N/m3

                                     = 1.61 x 9.81 kN/m3

                                            = 15.794 kN/m3
