Question 9 Soil placed on a can has been weighed before and after an oven-drying procedure. The procedure yields the following results: 84.4 g. Mass of soil + can before placing in the oven 74 g. Mass of soil + can after placing in the oven Mass of can 33.7 g. If the specific gravity of the soil is 2.82, and the void ratio is 0.567, what will be the moist unit weight (kN/m3) of the soil? Round off to two decimal places.

A 35 cc volume of core sampler was used in bulk density determination. The fresh soil in thesampler collected in the field weighed 83.5 g was oven dried. After 24 hours of oven drying thesample at 110oC, 20 grams of moisture were removed. Calculate the following: a. Bulk density b. Moisture content at weight basis and volume basis c. Percent pore space if the particle density is 2.63 g/cc d. Percent pore space filled

A compaction mould has the empty mass of 5000 g and the volume of 945 ml. When the compaction mould is full of the completely dry sand in its loosest state, the total mass is 6500 g and when it is full of the completely dry sand in its densest state, the total mass is 7245 g. If the water content of the sand when it is fully saturated at its natural state is 23%, calculate the relative density of the sand. (Assume that G,-2.70.)
It is needed to determine the moist unit weight of the soil for field compaction testing. A silty soil sample has a mass of 612 grams. The soil sample was then covered in beeswax and the combined weight was 650 g. The soil covered in wax, was then immersed in the water and the graduated cylinder registered a volume difference of 404 ml. The wax was gently peeled off the soil. Moisture content = 12% Specific Gravity = 2.78 But if the wax has a specific gravity of 0.94, determine the following: Dry unit weight of the soil Void ratio of the soil % of air in relation to the soil solids of the sample
(c) A sample of clay having a mass of 675 gm was coated with paraffin wax. The combined mass of the clay and the wax was found to be 682 gm. The volume was found by immersion in water as 345 ml. The sample was then broken to open. The water content and specific gravity of solids were found to be 15 % and 2.70 respectively. Calculate the bulk density of soil, its void ratio, and degree of saturation. Take specific gravity of wax as 0.89.
You are working in a lab and are tasked with determining the percent plant available water for a particular soil sample. You take a field soil sample. The mass of your sample was 152g and it had 18.3% moisture by mass. Then, you place the soil sample in your pressure plate extractor and determine that the soil sample weighs 164.2g when the moisture potential is -33kPa and 130.7g at -1500kPa. What is the percent plant available moisture by mass of this soil sample? Please answer to one decimal place.
