youe amer it s esuential to wirite egbly and show your work. if your work is absent or illegible, and at the samme time s not pertectly correct, then no partiel credit can be 3 points) eram saturated sand (S- I percent and a specifie gravity of solids of 2.68. Is also 100%) ha..-ture comentof 25 has a ma indes void ratio of 0.33. Compute its relative density and classity 2. (3 points) A sample of soil has a volume of 0.4S ft' and a weight of 53.3 lb. After being dried in an oven, it has a weight of 45.1 lb. It has a specific gravity of solids of 2.70. Compute its moisture content and degree of saturation before it was placed in the volume of oven 3. (5 points) The subsurface profile at a certain site is shown in Figure. Compute u, o, a,', and ' at Point A. Silty Sand20bt 12 t 10 (ML) I1 ft K0.70

Explanation / Answer

1) e= moisture content*specific gravity

=0.251*2.68

=0.673

emax=0.84

emin=0.33

Relative density = (emax-e)/(emax-emin)

=(0.84-0.673)/(0.84-0.33)

=0.327.

This is in liquid state of consistency.
