Work together as a group to complete the following problems. When you have finished, one person from each group should submit this sheet with the answers and any work you completed to find the answers such as the block diagram to the dropbox. 1. A dry soil sample has a unit weight of 100 lb/ft. What is the soil's unit weight when the degree of saturation is 25% and G=2.65? 2. Dry sand (G=2.65) has a porosity of 35%. Determine: a. Void ratio (e) b. Unit weight of soil solids c. Dry unit weight d. Saturated unit weight e. Water content when saturated 3. A saturated clay has a water content of 22%. If G=2.65, find the void ratio (e) and saturated unit weight.
