Question

Problem 1 (Hint: use the stress to calculate appropriate unit weights)

Total vertical stress at a depth of 10’ below the ground surface is 1100 psf. The water table is at a depth of 20’.

What is the void ratio of the soil if the moisture content is 22% and the Gs = 2.67?

If the water table rises to the surface and saturates the soils (S=100%), what is the water content of the soil?

e =          

new water content (w) =
