A project engineer receives a laboratory report with tests performed on a certain soil sample on a particular location. The engineer suspects that one of the measurements is in error. Are the engineer's suspicions correct? Which of these values is wrong, and what If so, so, should be its correct value? Given: *Unit weight of the sample= 18.4 kN/cu.m *Unit weight of solids= 26.1 kN/cu.m *water content= 40% *void ratio= 1.12 *degree of saturation= 95% * %3D the unit weight of the sample in O incorrect, thus the correct value is 17.2 kN/ cu.m the unit weight of the solids is O incorrect, thus the correct value is 25.2 kN/cu.m the water content is incorrect, thus the correct value is 42 % the void ratio is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.112 the degree of saturation is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.95 all of the results were correct thuS
