A contractor has compacted the base course for a new road and found that the mean value of the test samples has the moisture content = 19.4%, specific gravity = 2.78, and bulk soil density = 16.4 kN/m3. The specifications require that the void ratio should not exceed 0.80. Check whether the contractor met the specifications or not? Unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3.
Based on the given data and assuming volume of soil is 1m3 , determine the following to 2 decimal places
What is the weight of water in kN ?
What is the weight of solid in kN ?
What is the volume of water in m3?
What is the volume of solid in m3 ?
What is the volume of air in m3?
